WAY too much light pollution to see the aurora with my own old eyes in Midway. But I guess the AI assisted night mode on my phone's camera could see it. Which made me realize nearly all the other pics ppl post are the same thing. No more beautiful than an Instagram filter basically.

Imagine having to work without pay for 40 days and the only thing that came out of it was a ban on weed drinks.

I reached out to federal delegation to get some answers on this project. It’s a surprise and a very unwelcome one. No home for ICE and CBP in Saint Paul.

Not for nothing but this is also immediately next to one of the most vibrant Mexican neighborhoods in the cities

I'm no expert but if I were going to spam #SaintPaul FB groups with a line of embroidered hoodies, I'd include more than just the wealthy white neighborhoods.

Shutting down the government is a big deal. People have been hurt in big ways as a result of the decision. To have that suffering be for nothing—to re-open the government without actually having protected people’s health insurance and economic well-being—is unconscionable.

If you see this, post an album cover with a motor vehicle on it.

Menards pianist tonight performing Bridge Over Troubled Water and Hallelujah as if they were written for a ragtime saloon player piano.

Probably still needs to clear Heritage Preservation Commission and a lawsuit by local preservationists. /s

THAT'S RIGHT

How Her can fix St. Paul’s budget: 1. Pass administrative citations (✅) 2. Annex Falcon Heights 3. Issue citations to the State Fair re: terrible toilet paper 4. Profit 5. Complete Summit reconstruction plan in its current form ✌🏻❤️🧻

Is the Roberts court in thrall to Trump or corporate billionaires? Today we begin to find out.

Maybe next time don't campaign with @amyklobuchar.com. Maybe don't be seen in the same room.

If Her truly is committed to listening to St. Paulers who have “often been left out of the conversation about the future of the city” she’ll have to ignore her core constituency, rich white folks

Voting done. Onward.

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.

OK. I don't know why I did this, but I wrote up my run down of what I see as the condition of Saint Paul and then why I choose to support Mayor Carter leaflet.pub/ab326e22-655...

Vampires are sucking the blood out of Saint Paul. On Tuesday, you can drive a stake through the heart of this negligent capital. Be a stake holder in our City! Vote Yes on Question 1

Your periodic reminder that @amyklobuchar.com voted to confirm this ghoul and 6 other Trump cronies in his cabinet.

To my mind, fencing off pedestrian right of ways which were authorized and funded by state and local jurisdictions without a public review process is blatantly illegal. No different from Trump closing federal departments he doesn't like.

Actually, seeing a man of color, getting scared, and calling The Police, is pretty typical racist behavior

Nebraska easily bests Minnesota at Keeping #SaintPaul boring.

Reinhart Food Service using the #SummitAve bike lane to make a delivery to the St Paul College Club. A second truck was in the driveway blocking the sidewalk.

Haven't run our family's numbers yet, excited to find out just how fucked we are. 🫠

Sticker shock for ACA recipients: Clint and Cindy Kittrell, Oregon: $305/month --> $2,500/month. Chad and Tara Smith, Idaho: $710/month --> $1,000/month. Jessica Bunger, Florida: New premiums quadruple to $1,100/month. "I’ve never felt so powerless in my life" www.wsj.com/health/healt...

“The process has been extensive, so to hear Kaohly Her say the process has been incomplete or wrong is just frankly offensive.” (Good quote from @danmarstp.marshallwords.com here) www.startribune.com/kaohly-her-s...

Night ride. #BikeSky

Live you life in such a way that you don't get Stalin'd out of a school board group photo

Not picking a side = supporting SOS and their ridiculous NIMBY lawsuits. Don't rank Kaohly Her.

I support the Summit Avenue Regional Trail Plan. Predictably there are Kaohly Her yard signs all over Ramsey Hill. I've yet to see a Melvin Carter yarn sign here (and so far I've had no luck getting one). FWIW my St. Paul mayoral RCV will be: 1. Melvin Carter 2. _____________ 3. _____________

If anything, this has gotten worse. Today multiple cars almost hit a similar pair, even as construction workers put up additional fencing. There’s no safe and accessible way for pedestrians to cross here.

"St. Paul estimates reconstructing Summit Avenue and all its subterranean infrastructure will cost $100 million, and city officials say the cost of the bike lane will not add or subtract from the cost." (all you need to know) www.startribune.com/summit-avenu...

Just stopped a driver in a big SUV going the wrong way on Summit just west of Lex. Blocked the lane with my bike. WTAF, people. #BikeSky

"Saint Paul Future Forward" is Saint Paul Past Backward. Don’t rank Kaohly Her.

Riley & I salvaged cedar boards from our old deck. They were old and gross and now they're new and beautiful. Soon they'll be sauna benches.

A pundit guest on Meghna Chakrabarti's On Point on @npr.org used the revolting idiom "beat him like a red headed step child," went on to claim Tea Party was fueled by concern over government spending, not abject racism. Why do we give these people air?

You can count The Minnesota Star Tribune among the Sunday newspapers that did not put protest news on the front page

Goodwill rug FTW. It really ties the room together.

My 80-something folks, ready for their local #NoKings protest.

I suspect the MAGA government decided to launch all these Bluesky accounts tonight to try to bait people in advance of No Kings. These people have incurable 4chan brain and this is how they operate. Block them. Do not engage. Do not give them what they want.

Kaohly Her, SOS stealth endorsed candidate.

🧵 “Our premiums are going up 20% for next year. This is going to destroy thousands of businesses across the state and across the country unless it’s fixed.” Powerful words from @danmarstp.marshallwords.com about how Republican healthcare cuts are hiking up premiums for small biz owners. 💸

I got asked to speak at a news conference about how the GOP repeal of ACA tax credits affects our family. We're at MSP to counter Kristi Nowm's propaganda. Wish me luck!

“Republicans seemed to hate having to talk about healthcare at all. It just isn’t something that interests them, or that they care much about…They certainly don’t like government health insurance programs…but having to wade into the intricate healthcare policy weeds? Dullsville.”

I love #BikeTag as a way to stretch my visual arts muscles.

Kaohly Her opposes SART.

In honor of spooky month, share a 4 word horror story that only someone in your profession would understand: "Due to new tariffs...”
