Union Member Saint Paul I've probably doorknocked you. She/her
Poverty, homelessness, drugs are all complicated issues with no easy solutions. But destroying encampments is inhumane & solves nothing. Listening House is an amazing resource for unhoused neighbors. If you want to be part of a solution, consider volunteering/donating. www.listeninghouse.org
LISTENING HOUSE OF ST. PAUL

Our Mayor is sitting in her war room like these encampments are in Basra, so I got mad and we're just gonna have to sell some wieners.
Black Hart of Saint Paul@blackhartstp.com · 3h agoOk, we're actually mad about this, so we're going to donate $2 from all our hot dogs and $1 from every drink sold today to Listening House.
I'm a grown adult. If I want to buy myself a cat riding a dinosaur badge holder for my new office key card I can totally do that. I should have lost my keys (and boring plain badge holder) a long time ago. This is amazing.

The line about "30-day, 60-day solutions" is fascinating because my understanding of what was meaningfully different about the Carter approach wasn't that he never closed an encampment, instead he would give such a long runway for residents & support workers that it softened the worst effects.
Kyle Stokes@kystokes.bsky.social · yesterdayScoop: In a private call with top officials, St. Paul Mayor Kaohly Her lashed at requests to delay a homeless encampment sweep. She attributed her anger to “fuckery” being said about her in public, 3 officials told @axios.com . One state rep logged off in frustration. www.axios.com/local/twin-c...
Welp I tried one of these at the co-op, and now I’ll be eating the entire bag for lunch . Hybrid of Concord and Thompson Seedless.

I don’t think it’s appropriate to call out on the front page of The Minnesota Star Tribune that the police chief is a “St. Paul native” in relation to his complaint against the mayor, an immigrant.
This Weiner Wednesday, I’d like to remind folks that Saint Paul’s budget has a massive deficit and taxpayers will be on the hook to pay the city attorney and whatever settlement comes from this BS. This is on top of the other expensive HR nightmares one of our council members is responsible for.
It finally happened. After 25 years of phone-banking, I got my own name on my phonebank! (I’m not usually I’m not usually in a targeted/primary district) I voted early for @robyngulley.bsky.social and @peggyflanagan.bsky.social and @votebetty.bsky.social
Y’all I’m phonebanking and reading the St Paul memes at the same time. and you’re killing me.

More measles cases have been reported since Trump took office than in the last 25 years combined.
The air is off. The windows are open. The cats are pleased.
So. Yet again, I am denied the chance to speak about what has happened to me in this fucking party.
One of the primary reforms on the agenda today was Code of Conduct. It was literally the only fucking thing I cared about because it desperately needs to happen. I was all set to move to adopt and give a four minute speech to the State Central Committee about what I have endured.
I have submitted a copy of my speech, replicated below, to the SCC listserv so that I can at least say it there.

SEN. @ossoff.senate.gov: “Here’s what’s gonna happen tonight — the world’s most famous sore loser will deliver a primetime presidential sour grapes 🍇 address to pursue his 6yo grievances about the 2020 election while his war spirals out of control and the cost of living continues to rise.”
