The St. Paul City Council just voted to refuse to put the Tenant's Right to Repair law on the ballot for voters, claiming it conflicts with state law even though Duluth passed a nearly identical law last year. A press release from the Safe Homes coalition which has pushed for the law:

if you’re going to sell a light fixture on fbook marketplace, take a picture of it installed with and without the light on jfc

Tom has been sleeping downstairs because our AC and wall unit can’t keep up with the poorly insulated 1/2 attic but he’s sleeping up there again because it’s been cooler and Luna is LOSING her mind with excitement. She’s trying to force me to bed so she can chase me up the stairs.

i’m gonna expand on this. when we say, “destroy everything,“ it means medications, ID, phone if they have it, birth certificate/Social Security card if they have it, last mementos or even ashes from loved ones, Clothing, Food, Library card... You name it. & actively being criminalized for it.

for those moots who are not locals, the major of St. Paul has chosen to destroy two homeless encampments in St. Paul with no real plans for the people being displaced. when they do this, they literally just bring skid loaders through and destroy everything

This is not a joke. This is a screenshot of the actual case management software used by Massachusetts' 11 District Attorneys. Must-read work here by @nasser.wiki nasser.blog/dial-up-just...

my doctor is 45 min behind for appointments (understandable) and this man in the waiting area wreaks of Abercrombie fierce (not understandable).

if I had a meter for my attention span, the arrow for today would be in the orange “I can hear my computer” section.

Convinced Kaoly Her is going ahead with this encampment sweep this morning despite almost everyone in the know telling her to delay because she thinks she’d otherwise appear politically weak. It’s awful of the mayor to put vulnerable people at greater risk just to try and save her political career.

Kat Donnelly, a nurse with Healthcare for the Homeless, spent Tuesday scrambling to refill medications and make sure patients knew where to find her ahead of the Pig's Eye Park encampment closure Wednesday morning.

I’m aware of resources for the unhoused that provide replacement tents and other necessities, but what can we do as a community to ensure their records, IDs, social security cards and other hard to replace items are maintained? Is there even a good solution for this?

She's been asking her patients where they plan to go next and has heard the same thing over and over: “I’m not sure. I’m not sure. I’m not sure where I’m going to go."

I have, with my own eyes, watched my tax dollars in the form of missiles as they hit buildings inhabited by civilians. I'd much prefer subsidizing a grocery story I don't use.

Opinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.

one of my favorite features of HBO is being unable to tell if there’s actually a new episode of a show that I’ve missed because it doesn’t remove the lil note if I watch the episode. the other is it randomly choosing a different episode to claim I was watching or freeze between episodes.

We were taught this is the just and righteous response to unaccountable authority and that surveillance is oppression.

A Faribault man is charged with stealing a Flock camera, a license plate reading device that has stirred privacy concerns. Reports from around the United States have bubbled up over the past several months of drivers and others stealing or vandalizing the cameras.

republicans have been pretending COVID is fake and that no one died since refrigerated trucks lined the streets so idk why we are acting so shocked about it rn.

I loved he-man as a kid so I thought to myself, why not watch the new movie, it’s can’t be that bad, right? WRONG. so sick of the tired fantasy figure transported to a different planet and suddenly returns trope. if they stuck to the source material there would have been time to world build!

cherry tomatoes so bad they take like how carving pumpkins smells

I saw someone say they should have cut off the interview but this rant with the chyron below is brutal for him

The core argument is that cities like Seattle are so addled by left-wing ideology that they have fallen into dystopia. In reality, the city has never adequately funded harm reduction programs and continues to rely on incarceration to address homelessness. What Powell wants is what we're doing.

instead of self-driving taxis how about investing your stupid rich people money in public infrastructure like light rails and trains? stop limiting regulations on these chuckle fucks!

i’m still catching up on things following my vacation. After steam rolling through mediations the past two days I am exhausted. so drained that I had to pause halfway through drafting a notice of entry to pace. is this good.

I wish pokopia had more ice and faerie types out the gate because the DLC doesn’t leave much room for either of its focused on an aquatic town.

Concerns over fake phenomena cannot be held in good faith. There's no such thing as "good faith" concern over razorblades in Halloween apples or vaccines causing autism. If you still have 'concerns' about these issues you are uninformed, a bigot or being manipulated. No other option.

The Republican Party must be destroyed as a functional political entity. But conservatism itself must be eradicated in any way that resembles it's modern existence. There is nothing to save. There is nothing that deserves your respect.

The only responsible attitude for liberals and progressives to align on is that all right-wing grievances, claims and believes are not only false, but malicious lies. Nothing passes the mouth of an American conservative in public life that is not meant to harm and destroy the lives of millions.
