That's an unmatched one-two lunch combo if you're asking me. What a way to spend an afternoon in the Capitol City!

Lynx 🙂

Today, I experienced the type of day downtown Saint Paul that I’ve been dreading ever since starting to work down there: I couldn’t stop myself from buying both Ruam Mit AND a new book at Subtext over lunch.

I don't really have words for this. You can't just blow up ships full of Brown people and then say they were terrorist drug traffickers. That's not actually a justification for it.

Skinners making the NYT makes me extremely happy. STP dive bars ftw. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/11/d...

Look no further! Come drink beer and make fun of Minneapolis with us. And also make a donation to @sustainstpaul.bsky.social

If you like housing, walkable neighborhoods, multimodal transportation, having beers at Black Hart, and kicking Minneapolis’s ass, look no further.

It is genuinely difficult for me to believe that he is this stupid.

It's hard to understand why this (i.e., this family of strategic questions) isn't the *main* conversation we are having about the Court right now.

If you name one of your teams the Cubs and one of your teams the Bears you cannot possibly hold it against me if I get them confused, as I explain to my Illinoisan husband every year when the Vikings plays the Cubs.

This weekend, like the last few weeks, has been a blur of community events, conversations with neighbors, meetings with advocates and organizers, and the feeling of possibility that comes with the start of a new season.

This morning we kicked off our 2025 field program in Rondo! Huge thanks to AG Keith Ellison and Councilmembers Saura Jost, @mollycoleman.bsky.social & @mattprivratsky.bsky.social for joining us. Let’s keep building a safer, stronger, more connected Saint Paul—one door at a time!

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

There's a increasingly wide gulf between what you might call "local abundance"—which largely consists of liberal and progressive activists and local electeds trying to do YIMBY-type things—and "DC abundance," which hosts conferences where Oren Cass is a speaker for some reason.

Trump v. United States

Excited for this!! Winning one for the good guys in so many different ways!!

The Lynx bench is better than 8 other starting units 🤯🤯🤯

Truly the coolest person I know. www.startribune.com/how-she-spen...

Can see fans filing into the Wonderwall, mostly wearing black. They'll be silent for two minutes to start the match, then sing "You Are My Sunshine," as well as holding up a banner that Austin FC fans made following the Uvalde shooting - that horrifyingly is making its third MLS stop (after NSH).

🧵 🙌 Proud to join unions & other community orgs to launch the Vote Yes for a Fairer St. Paul campaign! 🗳️ This November, St. Paul voters have the opportunity to pass Administrative Citations — so corporate landlords & greedy bosses can’t keep breaking the law without consequences. (1/3)

Happy anniversary to @mollycoleman.bsky.social, and congratulations on her swearing-in yesterday as a St. Paul city council member! Molly is also the cofounder and executive director of the progressive legal nonprofit @peoplesparity.bsky.social

While I’m at it I also want to give a huge shoutout — and even bigger word of thanks — to @mattprivratsky.bsky.social for his tireless dedication to his community! He stepped up to ensure that Ward 4 was fully represented at city hall during a critical time and did so with passion, energy & grace!

As she kicks off her first city council term, I want to give a huge shoutout to @mollycoleman.bsky.social on her victory in the special election. She worked crazy hard to build a unique and incredibly broad coalition of supporters. She will be a great leader for the Twin Cities!

Congratulations to @mollycoleman.bsky.social on her official swearing-in! We look forward to working with you to create a thriving, sustainable city where everyone has abundant housing, accessible transit, and quality city services.

Have you melted into the ground yet out of adorable-ness, cuteness, and transit nerd-ness? No? Only me? Ok cool. But Ward 4 has an actual transit rider/bike user as our councilmember and I couldn’t be happier.

Children murdered because they went to school. Seniors shots because they went to mass. Public servants assassinated because they chose to serve. When will it be enough for us to decide that we deserve better? To acknowledge that we, quite literally, cannot live like this?

If you don’t want to eat a pronto pup while watching a cow give birth … I can’t relate.

I missed the ride but did get this pic of Leo eating his first nut roll, so I’m a fan.

Rating different commute options to City Hall. Morning one: 72. So clean, so comfy, so convenient (if your timing is right). Scenery is excellent.

Next Wednesday!

I’ve printed with Seven Corners for years, thinking I was supporting union labor and a good local employer. I found out this spring that it wasn’t the case, and obviously haven’t worked with them since. It’s a seriously bullshit situation. FWIW, I switched to Impact Printing and would recommend.

Minnesotans when you tell them that our state is in fact not shaped like a single letter

My goal for this Saturday is to be the most offline a person has ever been for 24 hours. (Except for the Lynx game.) Wish me luck.

Hello friends, it's your favorite downtown Saint Paul bookstore. Happy to be here with you all.

Congratulations to Saint Paul City Councilmember-elect Molly Coleman on winning the special election in Ward 4! I look forward to working together on behalf of Saint Paul residents.

Hell yeah @mollycoleman.bsky.social !!!

Congrats, Molly. Looking forward to the impact you’ll make as a council member!

Congratulations to Ward 4's new Sustain-Endorsed City Councilor MOLLY COLEMAN 💙 W4's decisive first-round selection of a Housing and Transit Champion sends a powerful message that this city ready for serious, progressive, urbanist solutions. Thank you W4 voters! 🏘️🚌🌳🚲 @mollycoleman.bsky.social

Back on here for the first time in months to celebrate this 🎉 I am so proud of my friend and to BE her friend. She already is and will continue to be an excellent, visionary public servant. Looking forward to a more effective government in St. Paul imminently!
