For folks in downtown looking for a grocery alternative since the Lunds closed: the Saint Paul Farmers market will open a year-round grocery and cafe in the old Black Dog space in Lowertown. www.stpaulpublishing.com/farmers-mark...

St. Paul was inspired by the "Denver Model" and created its own "Saint Paul Model" and brought their clearance rate from 37% in 2023 to 70.5% in 2024. In 2025, St. Paul is now trending to have a 30% reduction in shots fired and a 70% reduction in homicides. lims.minneapolismn.gov/Download/Fil...

Just so folks are aware: it is almost universally known that more transmission lines are needed (not fewer) to meet our energy needs. Even people who *hate* renewables would agree with this. Which means chopping this funding is basically deranged.

Pope Leo XIV weighed in on U.S. politics, saying Catholic politicians must be judged on the full range of their policy positions and suggesting the country's immigration policy is "inhuman."

It's fascinating and revealing how many centrists think refusing to compromise on human rights to gain the support of bigots represents a "political purity test," yet also think that a bigot saying "I won't join you unless you accommodate my bigotry" does NOT represent a "political purity test."

I’m happy Klein wants to thoughtfully navigate the difficulties created by GOP anti-trans efforts. We have to, for trans people’s sake AND everyone else’s. But know who @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social should ask these questions to? Trans folks! we cannot allow decisions about us to be made without us.

The weirdly casual under handed layup that K Mac loves to do is soooo slick when it’s falling and soooo stressful when it’s not! Let’s go Lynx! Close this bad boy out!

SPFD APPRECIATION POST Earlier this week Rochelle & I had a house fire. We’re safe, dogs are safe, @markprivratsky.bsky.social is safe. I wrote out the story so Rochelle and I don’t have to tell so many times. Mostly cannot believe how fast SPFD got this fire out! docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Hi @npr.org! We worked late tonight putting together this handy pocket guide! It doesn't address road design issues, but if we're going to educate road users, we should include drivers. It's the size of a folded business card. Print it, fold it, put it in your wallet!

Grateful to have the support of Lt. Gov. @peggyflanagan.bsky.social as we work to build a stronger, more equitable Saint Paul together! Thanks for your leadership and passion for children and families, Peggy!

Thankful to Mayor Carter, Council President Noecker, and Rep. Her for standing up for this common sense change! Vote yes on Question 1, Saint Paul neighbors! www.mprnews.org/story/2025/0...

So proud to support the amazing Vote Yes for a Fairer Saint Paul coalition who is working to pass administrative citations! This November, Vote Yes and Yes for Saint Paul!

Saint Paul: Early voting has started. It’s time for all of us to get out, vote, and make our voices heard so we can continue to move our city forward – together! Let’s go!

We need an assault weapons ban in Minnesota. 60% of Americans support it, and Minnesotans want to get it done. Call your State Senator. Call your State Representative. It’s up to us to come together and make it clear that this has to be the top priority. We CAN do this.

I hope our @dfl.org leadership takes seriously the experiences of trans, nonbinary, and two-spirit voters in this state. We have worked hard to build a trans-inclusive Minnesota. Our community growing deep roots here. To see our community dismissed and disregarded in this way is unacceptable.

@mattprivratsky.bsky.social and I paid a visit to Carondelet Village residents letting folks know why it’s so important to vote YES on both of Saint Paul’s referendum questions this year!

Same show, now with more Trans!! excited to have @riverbutcher.bsky.social joining the same episode of @jonlovett.bsky.social or Leave It.

I am way way too excited about this.

Got @keithellison.bsky.social kicking off the @melvincarter.bsky.social door knock at Golden Thyme! Ward 4 Councilmembers past (Russ), present ( @mollycoleman.bsky.social) and fake (me) are here. Super broad support from Peggy, Tina, Clare, Garrison, and more! INFO: www.melvincarter.org/home

Great to see this. I was out at Morris in July, and it is such a special community. They are also working on some potentially world-changing stuff - the ammonia pilot they just launched has the potential be one of Minnesota’s next billion dollar companies.

Midway boulevard coming for me and @markprivratsky.bsky.social a little too hard.

In MinnPost: @winterkeefer.bsky.social wrote a great piece about balancing being human and being a journalist, especially in trauma www.minnpost.com/community-vo...

Right now, our attention and focus should be on the victims and their families at Annunciation. Instead our community is continually politically targeted and scapegoated. Let us all work together to create a safer state for everyone, free from gun violence.

I think @zachlowenba.bsky.social is still the only NBA reporter to directly reference the actual CBA language that makes clear that the Leonard deal simply being clearly beyond market value is, in and of itself, a violation of Circumvention rules. P307 NBA CBA: cosmic-s3.imgix.net/3c7a0a50-8e1...

Didn’t get to this before tonight. But it is such a great snapshot into how Melvin processes this work. @melvincarter.bsky.social cares deeply about the work, refuses to make decisions based on fear, and absolutely knows the job. Proud to support him for Saint Paul Mayor!

DC conducted a half-price & free transit fare experiment for low-income residents. Compared to those paying full fare: —Half-price recipients took 2x the transit trips —Free pass recipients took 4x the trips Subsidized participants reported higher well-being. thelabprojects.dc.gov/fare-subsidy...

Feel a little silly not knowing but I believe this invite for a Gold Line shared use path tour is the first I'm hearing of a new path being added alongside the Gold Line guideway? Can't find any other info. Any fellow bike nerds with a map, somehow? www.metrotransit.org/Gold-Line-Bi...

The vast majority of gun deaths in this country are suicides and homicides, and the highest rates of both are in rural counties.
