Based on the overwhelming consensus that I’ve heard in both public feedback and private conversations from government officials, service providers, encampment residents, and public health experts, I do not believe we are prepared to responsibly close the encampments beginning tomorrow.

St. Paul prepares to clear homeless encampment amid questions

On July 8, citing a growing number of fires, fatal overdoses and reported sexual assaults, St. Paul Mayor Kaohly Her announced plans to close the city’s three largest homeless encampments on a rolling...

@psdsaint.bsky.social and I headed over to the elections office this morning and voted early! I’m proud to be supporting our DFL endorsed slate of candidates to win in November. Let’s win this!

(CW: sexual harassment) I’ve given a lot of thought to the news surrounding the conduct of the Mayor, but I’ve struggled to attach a word to how I feel. The closest I’ve gotten is “heartbroken” in a number of ways. 1/

I have been following the story of St. Paul Mayor Kaoly Her’s repeated sexual harassment of city employees, and in light of this statement it is clearly time for her to resign her position as mayor. This is a breach of ethics and trust, and for Her to refer to it as “attempts at humor” is galling.

Olivia Dean was terrific tonight. She's got a great voice and true warmth and presence on stage. She's already big with young women and once other folks realize she's not kids' stuff, she has got the potential to be massive. Here's my review (gift link):

Went to see Olivia Dean at Target Center tonight— what a talented, profound, and all around beautiful performer! It was so refreshing to see a show that celebrated the joy of love and togetherness, and I think I’ll be talking about it for a long time.

Every joke will probably not be seen by the mayor of Saint Paul, but it is guaranteed to be seen by survivors - it tells us who doesn’t & doesn’t have our backs. And then people wonder why survivors don’t come forward. 🧐

I know the premise of weiner-gate feels funny because of how absurd it is, but let's remember that we're talking about allegations of sexual harassment.

I guarantee you that there are people you care about in your life who have been sexually harassed so maybe think twice before posting your crude joke about hot dogs or wieners.

That’s Cedrick Baker, who serves as Deputy Mayor under Kaohly Her. I’m Cedrick Frazier, State Representative and the DFL-endorsed candidate for Hennepin County Attorney! Kaohly Her endorsed another candidate in this race.

The comments on last week’s council meeting were almost entirely against the sweeps. At the meeting, Cedric said the sweep had broad community support. I haven’t checked if the video got fixed yet, apparently there were tech issues with the recording. stpaul.legistar.com/MeetingDetai...

Former Saint Paul Mayor Melvin Carter set the standard for ethical and innovative leadership for the Twin Cities. I am honored to have his endorsement.

Minnesota deserves a real fighter and a real Democrat. Watch our new 📺 ad here:

Today, I was honored to spend my morning in St. Cloud, where I was reelected as the Minnesota Young DFL Vice President for the Twin Cities. In 2018, I attended my first doorknock. I was just 10 years old, but I ended up loving the experience. 1/

This hurts my mind and breaks my heart. Just despicable stuff from Craig. This is one of many disqualifying things tied to her.

This shit with Taylor Farms is exactly what I’m talking about when I say you may say you “don’t do politics,“ but politics are more than happy to do you. The microbes political bribes got out the door and into your intestines don’t particularly care that you find it all beneath you.

It was similar(ish) to 2022 in some ways, different in others. Napheesa Collier works her way back onto the court while the Lynx celebrate her vet, Hall of Famer Sylvia Fowles. For @stribsports.startribune.com www.startribune.com/minnesota-ly...

Flag at half staff on Edgecumbe today. I’m using it to remember the 26 year old that was murdered by our federal government this morning in Maine. May he rest in peace. His name was Joan Sebastian Guerrero. He was 26 years old. His 3 year old child was in the backseat of the car.

Minnesota has been dealing with the most despicable violence from federal agents, with help from local law enforcement, as a result of racist rhetoric like this for months. At a time when law enforcement should be rebuilding trust with the community, Bob Fletcher continues spewing this rhetoric.

Sheriff Bob Fletcher called Somali gang activity an “obvious problem” in a video posted to social media. Some community leaders warn it could further anti-Somali sentiment.
