This is awesome! And some of the first good news in St. Paul I’ve heard in a while. It wonderful to have this in the old Black Dog space.

Don’t let yourself be gaslit. STP is not moving forward, & you deserve a leader who will stand up and say so. I will fight for safer streets, a vibrant economy, and affordable housing. I will work tirelessly to defend our neighbors. Early voting is open - vote now through November 4th! #kaohlyforstp

Loooooool. Someone I’ve never met or ever engaged with online has blocked me. Ah, this app is great. 10/10! We’re definitely gonna bridge those deep divides over here on BlueSky, lol.

Oh yeah!

LOL

She’s absolutely right. I was honestly hoping that she wouldn’t have been held back. Seeing Cheryl physically go after these abominations of officials would have been the only positive of this game.

Saw some baby snapping turtles along the river today, so that was pretty cool.

God it’s so true it’s painful. I watched this happen while doing climate justice organizing in eastern Washington. You cannot start meetings with wheat farmers with a pronoun circle and a land acknowledgement.

Of courrrrrrse there’s backlash. Sorry suburbs, you gotta bear some of the costs of the opioid and homelessness crisis, too. Cities cannot bear all of it.

Annnnnd here is the only person on Twin Cities BlueSky talking about this latest development in what should be one of the biggest local stories right now. Do people just not care that hundreds of millions of their hard earned tax dollars are being used to buy fancy cars and real estate in Africa?

I’m honored to be endorsed by Teamsters Joint Council 32. With over 75,000 active and retired members standing together, your support means the world. Together we’ll fight for fair wages, safe workplaces, strong benefits, and dignity for working families. Thank you for standing alongside me.

I know that posting something from a Republican on this platform basically makes me a “Fascist Nazi”, but he’s right. And the arrogance that Tim Walz is running for a third term after this monstrous failure is stunning to me.

Thank goodness for Joe Thompson. I’m disgusted at these revelations and we know that this is just the tippy tip of the iceberg.

Just came here to say that Kaohly Her crushed it last night at the Mayoral forum. Let’s be honest it’s a two-way race—-Carter had some good thoughts but it was a lot of repeating the same statistics and self-promotional word salad.

so many dead canaries and we just keep on mining

Every time I bike or drive down Summit I am gobsmacked that people are losing their minds about the conditions on the street for cyclists. It’s just one lane of cars, you have a bike lane, you have a buffer. I would kill for these cycling amenities on West 7th. You have no idea how good you have it.

MnDOT is investing tens of millions to sprawlify outstate Mn and support car trips to chain stores while they say they “can’t afford” to reconstruct West 7th. Absolute monsters and crooks.

It’s a mayoral election year for St. Paul, and I’m ranking @kaohlyforstp.bsky.social #1 on my ballot. Head to the Schmidt Artist Lofts on October 2nd to meet Kaohly and learn about her practical and budget-focused plans for the best Twin!

Message to all Bluesky users. Consider peeking out of the silo occasionally.

I’m running for Mayor of Saint Paul! 🏙️ As a mom, finance professional, & State Rep, I'm ready to bring my experience to City Hall. I'm ready to lead with a collaborative vision because I know we are stronger together. Let's do this, Saint Paul! #kaohlyforstp #kaohlyher #kaohlyvangher #saintpaul

So many shocking and appalling things about this situation: the complete disregard for women’s lives. 14 convictions and this monster was still walking free. But one of the most disturbing elements? The way the fellow train passengers just walked away. Didn’t even ask if she was okay.

Yiiiiiiikes. Must be pretty dire to pre-release a vague statement like this.

lol. Up for re-election and with a serious challenger and now all of the sudden it’s “no frills”, no shiny new pet projects. Too late, Melvin.

Could not agree more.

He’s not wrong (Nate Silver, I mean).

Could St. Paul DSI possibly be anymore ineffective, corrupt, and harmful? I have heard many similar stories from my community, but this one truly takes the cake.

Listening to local media complete verbal contortions to not misgender the annunciation shooter is truly something to behold. The absolute last thing we should be worried about right now is a mass murder’s “preferred pronouns.” My god people, get a grip.

The fact that someone wants an assault weapon should be reason enough to preclude them from obtaining one.

Perfectly describes my BlueSky feed right now.

It was an awesome event and wonderful to meet Kaohly! I am thrilled for this campaign and I know hundreds of my neighbors are so ready for a true choice in this next mayoral election. Melvin has betrayed West 7th too many times.

5 months off the minimum sentence for this rapist because he “expressed remorse.” A Mexican citizen. Now on the lamb. We are just serving the Republicans their talking points on a silver platter. No embellishment even needed anymore.

Lotta people on this app could benefit from a little critical thinking.

Great to see Sue getting some coverage in the mainstream media. Absolute fuckin’ legend and still one of the best skaters on the ice in any given pick-up game. www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/ne...

Currently see zero upside whatsoever to AI proliferation.

Now that I know it’s meme coin (whatever the fake fucking trend that actually is) bros and not just some 22 year old baby dyke acting out, I would not waste a second committing violence against these bros. This enrages me.

Good reaffirmation of my long time commitment to *never* have any “smart home” devices.

Sometimes it feels like our state government only works efficiently for you if you’re setting up fake non-profits to bilk taxpayers of their money.

Oh no…. Where will the good people of Midway buy $9 orange juice after Cub closes??? Seriously the only thing surprising to me about this story is *how long* Cub stayed. Shopping there even three years ago was a wretched, rip-off experience. Just. Go. To. Aldi.

Listen to this woman.

Seeing the Minnesota State Highway Department (I can’t with “MnDOT” anymore, just cannot) spend these kinds of funds to encourage rural sprawl while they continue to put off reconstructing critical urban corridors like West 7th is enraging. Sinkholes > big box stores.

So true.

At what point do we just start to remove chronic drug using homeless people from the streets. Their freedom to remain messed up and destructive to everything they touch needs to be balanced with all they harm.

We have decided to ban the use of GenAI for research, writing & creative work at our organization. In fact, we make people sign an agreement saying that their research, analysis, writing, and creative work are *theirs* and not done by GenAI.

Ripping up trees, stealing copper wire, removing storm drain grates??? What the fuck is happening in St. Paul? Feels like there is a new breed of lowlife, miscreant in town these days.

Melissa Hortman, key architect of the Minnesota Miracle of feeding kids and protecting women’s rights, has been shot in her home as were her husband and dog. Another democrat, John Hoffman, was also shot in his home. I feel like I’m going to throw up. God help us. www.huffpost.com/entry/minnes...

This’ll teach’em.
