Federal agents are making our kids afraid to go to school.

I'm irate - and everyone should be.

St. Paul Mayor Melvin Carter | TIME100 Talks Melvin Carter, the mayor of St. Paul, spoke with TIME 100 Talks Correspondent Ashley C. Ford about addressing racial inequality in his city.

I’m honored to see this conversation with TIME from a couple years ago featured recently as part of their #TIME100 Talks series.

The themes — community trust, public safety, and local leadership — feel as relevant now as ever.

Politico.com: “A federal judge on Saturday ordered the immediate release of Adrian Conejo Arias and his 5-year-old son Liam...”

Me: There should be a Grammy for best judicial ruling.

You gotta read this.

The justifications we’re hearing this week are insane. There’s a word for shooting someone in case they have an invisible gun: murder.

Live updates: Man shot and killed by federal agents in Minneapolis | CNN A man was shot and killed by federal agents today in Minneapolis, according to the city’s police chief. The Department of Homeland Security says the man was armed. Follow for live updates.

Face down on the ground, beaten by six men, and half the shots are fired while he lays lifeless on the ground.

If they were wearing different clothes, we’d all know what this is.

Happy birthday, Dr. King.

May your prayers for this great nation someday soon be fulfilled. #MLK2026

I’m disgusted by the violence we suffered in Minneapolis yesterday. Disgusted that it was so predictable. ICE is operating in ways that sow fear, hatred, and violence—and creating chaos they lack the capacity to manage. Renee Good should still be alive.

Thank you, @wesburdine.bsky.social!

Here's how I am voting tomorrow - @melvincarter.bsky.social, Yes, and Yes.

For some, the only way forward is backward. For me, the only way forward is forward. We aren't going to fix the city's problems by listening to Save Our Streets and other groups that are terrified of change.

Melvin Carter and a large group of supporters pose for a photo.

I’m voting for @melvincarter.bsky.social on Tuesday, and it isn’t an especially hard choice.

There’s a lot of talk in STP about how we need to do the basics really well. A lot of that talk has come from me! It’s something I ran on because it’s something I hear all the time from folks in Ward Four.

Thank you @amyklobuchar.com!

✊🚪 Look at these powerful Faith in Minnesota Action leaders go!

🗳️ Make your plan to #BeAVoter and re-elect @melvincarter.bsky.social with us at mnvotes.org.

Lots of St. Paulites across race, age, and neighborhood pose for group photo at a doorknock for Mayor Carter

📣 We’re fired up by how Mayor @melvincarter.bsky.social has shown up for young people, championed community-based safety, and stood strong against MAGA attacks.

🗳️ We’re eager to re-elect Mayor Carter and keep building a #StPaulForAll of us. Make your plan to #BeAVoter at mnvotes.org!

Eight years ago, my dad and I heard about a man named Melvin’s vision for this city. Eight years later, I got to vote for him to further that vision.

Make a plan to vote by November 4th!

I ranked @melvincarter.bsky.social first, and voted YES on both ballot questions!
