I’m here at the Fish Hatchery encampment in St. Paul as the city prepares to sweep the camp. St. Paul cops are stopping cars coming in but there are dozens of people that have gathered here in anticipation of the sweep in order to help camp residents and document what the city does here today.

ask me how many circles I rode around on this fresh asphalt, lol.

CoreCivic's name used to be Corrections Corporation of America (that means private prisons, which we worked to stop in 2016); and they 'rebranded' in 2016. These fuckers don't belong in Minnesota; and this is some bullshit.

CoreCivic has announced it's been awarded an ICE contract to use the Prairie Correctional Facility in Appleton, Minnesota. The new five-year contract begins on Aug. 11, 2026. ir.corecivic.com/news-release...

So many jokes to be made here, but these kinds of beliefs are dangerous to those Somali kids & their families across our state.

Edina woman wishes more people would use the prefix "Somali" when talking about violent crime. "If it was hockey kids, they'd be saying it was hockey kids." youtu.be/KC50NBTzSFA?...

On Jan. 11, Gregory Bovino watched as his Border Patrol agents dragged a man out of his car at a St. Paul Speedway, knelt on his back until he lost consciousness, and dragged his limp body into the back of a van. The man's name is Orbin Mauricio Henriquez Serrano and this is his story.

Found Item Sculpture, at least 12 inches high. Finally, something to do with all the holiday Pez! #DSST

For Doing Silly Sh*t Together Add It Up item: If every @metrotransitmn.bsky.social route number is a point (the 2 is 2 points, for ex), how many points can you gather in a week? Take a selfie by each bus you ride or a pic of you by it, but make sure we can see the bus number in the pic.

Yo @metrotransitmn.bsky.social, or others who know, do the Orange Line, Blue Line, Gold Line have route numbers? What are they? Need to know for a game we are playing! #dsst #busride

Ok, Dumpling Eatery and Che & Cafe on Nicollet are two places you should go to.

If every MetroTransit route number is a point (the 2 is 2 points, for example), how many points can you gather in a week? Take a selfie by or on each bus you ride or a pic of you by it. HERE WE GO. #dsst #busride

Doing Silly Sh*t Together now has a website! clearly I'm very excited about this: dsst.ing

Have a good day. Or else.

OK. Doing Silly Sh*t Together is up and running! Here's the list of items, and we decided to extend this so it runs through next Sunday, not this one. Pick and choose what you want to do; and we may add more as we go along! #DSST

MPLS Park & Recreation Board seeks input over potential change of use at the Nicollet Island Pavilion Attend our meeting on Tuesday, August 25 at 6 pm and share your thoughts with them. Details: www.eastbankmpls.org/calendar/nic...

Honestly, good reflection even if you're not in retirement.

Amy Gage@amygage.bsky.social · 5d ago

Should You Keep Social Media After Retirement? Curating an online profile also means figuring out why you want to be there.

In case you're considering DSST this weekend, here's an example of a video item from past GISH (the inspiration for us): write and perform a happy song about your pet, but do it without smiling, or showing happiness. (this was really fucking hard, by the way)

Hi all. I’m back again regarding Quelvin’s court costs. He has two court dates next week and needs to make some payments on his tickets in O’Fallon. Currently he owes $1748 to O’Fallon and we just want to make some kind of good faith partial payment before his review hearing on Monday.

Rachel Bean, still sick but less@colocharachel.bsky.social · 4mo ago

Hi all. I’m coming to y’all with a personal need. If you’ve been connected to me since Twitter, you may remember that I have a young man/mentee in my life from our time in St. Louis. He owes some court fees for some ongoing racist St. Charles County shit and I want to help him pay them.

kinda feels like every one is on edge today. including me, and i don't like it. :(
