Three committee hearings, three votes, interviews, rallies, meetings and our day isn’t even halfway done. They can send the threatening emails, phone calls and packages to distract us but nothing will ever slow us down as we serve the people of #MN5. I survived war, I got this 💪🏽 — PolitiTweet.org

Ilhan Omar @IlhanMN

We’ve led the nation before in showing what a hopeful America can look like, what the America we deserve looks like. Let’s do it again. — PolitiTweet.org

Ilhan Omar @IlhanMN

And in 2018, as Trump’s Muslim ban was being implemented, you took a chance on a Black Muslim refugee organizer. — PolitiTweet.org

Ilhan Omar @IlhanMN

We elected progressive visionaries like Paul Wellstone. In 2006, we elected the first Black Member of Congress from Minnesota, @keithellison, a man who would go on to do more to hold the officers accountable for George Floyd’s murder than anyone else. — PolitiTweet.org

Ilhan Omar @IlhanMN

There are many candidates and questions on the ballot, but they all boil down to one question: do you want to maintain the status quo or do you want reform? Reform is what Minnesotans do. We helped lead the labor movement to create the weekend and outlaw child labor. — PolitiTweet.org

Ilhan Omar @IlhanMN

We have an opportunity a week from today to reject this. We have an opportunity to choose hope and reform over fear and division. — PolitiTweet.org

Ilhan Omar @IlhanMN

It is a lie. And it is a lie designed to continue the very policies that led to George Floyd’s death. — PolitiTweet.org

Ilhan Omar @IlhanMN

Instead of partnering with trained experts to deescalate domestic disputes, they ask us to simply trust the MPD. Instead of addressing the MPD’s failure to respond to 911 calls and solve homicides, they would like to shift blame onto their opponents. — PolitiTweet.org

Ilhan Omar @IlhanMN

Yet both have been subject to a relentless misinformation campaign. The defenders of the status quo have used a familiar trick: fear. They would have you believe that the failures of the MPD are the fault of the (largely POC) organizers who want reform. — PolitiTweet.org

Ilhan Omar @IlhanMN

Thankfully, there are two incredible female candidates: @SheilaFTP and @KateKnuth. I know both to be thoughtful, policy-minded, and clear-eyed about the problems the city faces with public safety and housing affordability. https://t.co/uC57hF5fDN — PolitiTweet.org

Make no mistake: this behavior is on the ballot next week. The police federation is on the ballot next week. And Jacob Frey is on the ballot next week. — PolitiTweet.org

Ilhan Omar @IlhanMN

“This group probably is predominantly white, because there's not looting and fires,” the officer said. The Department, their union and Jacob Frey had this footage for over a year and did nothing. https://t.co/F7d1zywK8Y — PolitiTweet.org

Ilhan Omar @IlhanMN

Just this month, more footage leaked, showing the MPD bragging about “hunting” civilians during protests. “The first f**kers we see, we're just handling them with 40’s,” an officer said, referring to 40 mm ammunition fired at crowds, often causing serious injury. — PolitiTweet.org

Ilhan Omar @IlhanMN

Instead of deescalating following the killing, police beat, arrested, and critically injured protesters with projectiles and tear gas. https://t.co/CjDpRMmYnw — PolitiTweet.org

Ilhan Omar @IlhanMN

Instead of heeding the calls for reform, the Department and their union have fought tooth and nail to defend the officers who murdered George Floyd and stymie efforts at reform, often with the tacit approval of Jacob Frey. — PolitiTweet.org

Ilhan Omar @IlhanMN

Let’s remember what got us here: the Minneapolis Police Department killed a man, George Floyd, in broad daylight. — PolitiTweet.org

Ilhan Omar @IlhanMN

The election next week in Minneapolis is no less than a fight of hope vs. fear, of maintaining a broken status quo that killed George Floyd or taking the path of reform. I want to share some of my thoughts to cut through the dark money and misinformation. — PolitiTweet.org

Ilhan Omar @IlhanMN

@shadowreporting No one defunded them or let them go, they still collect paychecks and their funding was increased. They are just incompetent. — PolitiTweet.org
