Well worth a read about an beautiful Saint Paul institution. Tensions have been understandably high around the Twin Cities for months, yet there's a valuable lesson here of not allowing speculation to outpace investigation most especially when in the midst of a crisis.

one of my favorite expressions of hopefulness is the first 50 degree day in March every year when the neighborhood kids break out the baseball gloves to play catch. trying to will spring into existence. it is a hopeful day here in this corner of Saint Paul, and it rocks.

Me and the St Paul Jacket Dads marching resolutely around the CVS at dawn, blowing horns and shouting until the building collapses on its own

Someone should really invent a form of comeuppance for the powerful that doesn't have simultaneous negative effects for untold millions

What is the St. Paul Jacket? @usefulnoise.bsky.social wrote this explainer for @racketmn.com, and @derzquist.net created a Surf feed (published to @bsky.app) for all your St. Paul Jacket news. 📌 bsky.app/profile/derz...

Man, Zelenskyy telling Trump & Vance that the US has been lucky to have its oceans, but that we too will someday feel the "problems of war" seems like one of those quotes that gets put at the start of a history book covering events 5-15 years after the quote.

I don't think Angie Craig is malicious, I simply think she is one of the most gullible and naive people to hold this level of office in this state in my lifetime.

Saint Paul Jacket weather awaits.

Have you ever led 30 people on soupsong in your own living room? That's too much power for one man

Like we start getting speeches from what is clearly mar-a-lago

It’s so good, so good. It’s so good.

As a pedestrian I should be allowed to have a gun and shoot out one tire when cars are driving too fast and crazy. The “walker’s warning” we’ll call it

@kai.surf.social what is the correlation with pig's sky and st. paul

We will need some sort of ecumenical council to address the differences in calculating the feast days of Stump Party and Soup Party to ensure they don't end up on the same day.

I just learned that Northside Mutual Aid (supporting North Minneapolis families impacted by ICE) is still trying to meet $80,000 in rent needs from FEBRUARY. Can we move some funds in their direction? 🌻

It comes down to this. You can certainly take care of your own and keep your head down to keep only them safe (btw an academy kid was taken from Madison, so it didn't protect them). But you cannot then claim unity when you did nothing to support your community. You made a choice.

This is right. And people hate to hear it, but Joe Biden’s single most important task was to Trump-proof the US. His task was to destroy the Republican Party to punish them for Trump, salt the earth over them, and implement big structural reforms to stop future R minority extremism. And he failed.

I love to enjoy some light piano music on a Sunday morning [going to Menards]

When this ICE shit started, a mutual I’d never met asked how to help. I sent him to a friend’s kid’s preschool that was struggling to find patrollers. He’s been there almost daily, even in brutal cold, at a school where he didn’t know anyone, to keep folks safe. We finally met and got beers tonight.

On top of all the reporting that this war of aggression was planned well in advance, it seems that the reporting also indicates that the US political leadership are quite literally too stupid to understand basic diplomacy. I mean literally not smart enough.

someone transported here from 1995 with a layman's understanding of the Republican Party - "they like low taxes for the rich and aggressive use of the military" - would be more correct in their assessment of the party than many ostensibly savvy pundits working right now

My wife asked me to try on the iconic St. Paul Jacket. I was happy to oblige.

Not me at Costco awkwardly complimenting a guy on his Saint Paul jacket in the bakery.

One of the moms of the families I’ve been delivering groceries to asked today if I’d be willing to accept something from her. And she came back with this beautiful flan she’d made to say thank you for helping us. I am crying. People are too kind. This is whom our government is forcing into hiding.

some amazing news to start the weekend with!

The Jacket is a form of collectivized aura farming

I was going to bring the Saint Paul Liberation Front flag to the Loons game tomorrow but was told it was banned for being “divisive.” It is “political” and “violent.” …

Several of us were at Black Hart, wearing The Jacket, and were complimented by a couple who are getting married at the Saints Field tomorrow.

Visited with an old friend today

Not only will I be rocking my new St. Paul dad jacket tonight, I’m also gonna be wearing my Sinister Minnesotans shirt too, haha. I should probably find a recipe for some Sinister Hotdish…

Tactical Norm will be wearing his Saint Paul jacket while he can.

no better evidence that the st-paulification of minneapolis continues apace

No joke I think Minneapolis should keep their flag & folks need to just fully lean into its weirdness. Come up with funny alternate items for the quartered circle. Make up a Pride version. Stuff like that. Embracing a (non-offensive) weird flag is better than coming up with too slick of a new one
