Still no reflection on why the city never set up a real aid response and citizens had to rely on The People’s Response

It's worth pointing out that the same newspaper that was the primary mouthpiece for the campaign to destroy Mill Creek was the cheerleader for every other big silver bullet plan that promised to displace black people. From the West End to Tiffany to Pershing Waterman to Paul Mckee to the NGA

Cara Spencer's theory of government is that sucking up to Donald Trump will somehow help the city. With today's news about the Trump admin revoking a $197m grant and killing a job-creating battery plant in north city, she may want to revisit that theory.

There were 300+ vacancies or expired terms this year, even after the alders eliminated several boards and commissions.

💯 and a shame that most, but not all, Downtown buildings are owned by people who don't love them.

The former Last Hotel on Wash Ave apparently had a run in with a car.

Saw a house with full on Christmas decor lit up next to a house with lit up Halloween and skeleton decor and that's basically November for you.

If Bluesky will suspend writers like Sarah Kendzior, then I have no use for this platform. It's less than useless.

10/10 recommend going to the Zoo when its 30 something degrees out in STL. NO one was there and I actually got to photograph animals! #animals #stl #photography

I've been on-site volunteering next to Mandy Murphey with Grassroots Redeeming Love and can confirm she's the real deal. The past two weekends we helped relocate a tornado victim to his new home. There's more opportunities to help just in time for 6 months post-storm.

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.

Chose the right day to visit Bellefontaine Cemetery, though I do wish we’d had less wind on the walk.

Darryl was still collecting tax liens out in St. Charles County a decade ago. I used to have to send collection letters to him on behalf of county government/State of MO.

ffs Mayor Spencer says best way to fill "enormous gap" on food from Trump Shutdown is yet another volunteer fund, this one distributed by United Way- which always requires at least a 10% cut. Zero public funds from the City of St. Louis, a pr move after 37 days of Mayor doing nothing.

What a banger

WashU has to be on board with it, and unfortunately they didn't even make their own open dorms available in the immediate aftermath of the storm. #InSTLForSTL?

With freezing temps now upon us, can haz for emergency shelter?

Spotted on I-44 this morning.

St Louis if you want to see fall colors, today is the day -- they arrived all at once and it will freeze this weekend!

Anyone been noticing more vehicles at the closed fake-Paul McKee hospital lately? I drove by yesterday and saw 5 security vehicles (slightly up from last visit), the jersey barriers on Thomas were moved, and there was a dumpster being filled out back. 👀

BREAKING EXCLUSIVE MUST CREDIT: Lunch for jurors in the “sandwich guy” trial are a variety of sandwiches, according to a source familiar with lunch.

Workers from eight St. Louis-area Kaldi’s Coffee shops are unionizing, citing low pay and poor conditions. The move follows protests over a lack of air conditioning, drainage problems in the kitchen and an alleged firing of a worker who spoke up.

A St. Louis fund meant to help displaced tenants — including tornado victims — hasn’t accepted a single application since launching in 2024. City officials say legal hurdles have stalled the program.

The audit uncovered faulty pension information and violations of the city charter and ordinances.

O’Fallon Park nearly 6 months after the St. Louis tornado. Trees have been removed but the landscape is forever changed. You hear talk of replanting at Forest Park but this one desperately needs it. This park is loved and people see the lack of planting as just one more way they’ve been forgotten.

Amazing autumnal color combination on 40xx Laclede.

The lack of food has the potential to cause tremendous social suffering for residents across the city. You can’t always plan for a tornado, but you can and should plan for a disaster that is developing.This is why Mayors activated emergency plans for their residents. Its about the dignity residents.

Just want everyone to know that the state of MO allows online payments for Sunshine requests. Meanwhile, you can only pay by check for records from the city of #STL. We're almost to 2026

Just a reminder the words poverty, food insecurity does not exist in this report and the word poor is mention one time "poor administration."

About 22% of the city’s population lives in poverty, and half of them live in what can be described as ‘misery’—with incomes below 50% of the federal poverty threshold. Additionally, 18.7% of residents receive SNAP benefits. I don't understand the silence. The silence send a strong message.

Highlights of my weekend: - Started a new neighborhood (Kingsway East, love it so far) - Helped a senior who lost his home in the tornado move into a new home with Grassroots Redeeming Love - Hosted a walking tour of Gravois for a Sustainable Transportation class - Blue skies - My weighted blanket
