And this is not the first time here. In 1956 the City of St Paul evicts the residents of Swede Hollow, a railroad shantytown on downtown's eastern edge. 1000's of immigrants from many backgrounds had lived in this place since 1850. The homes are then burned to the ground by the Fire Department.

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.

Angie Craig is going to pull lots of votes from the “addled suburban retirees” and “cute AI cat video” fans. You HAVE to outwork people’s stupidity and bring out new voters. And not just anyone, because many people are median voters (a.k.a. morons). Only bring people out once you talk to them.

the lesson of tonight is that everyone needs to lock the fuck in for @peggyflanagan.bsky.social

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...

Normies may not be able to admit to struggle, but here’s the thing: I’m not a normie. I have a home that’s slowly falling apart and barely enough money to weather a few dental cavity fillings, let alone an emergency. Can’t get approved for new credit and don’t want more debt. So yeah, I struggle.

On social media, a broad consensus is that you can’t admit to struggle — at least not while you’re struggling. Doing so represents a failure so profound it’s almost existential. How did it become mandatory to demonstrate perpetual growth and progress online?

It’s ironic that the presumptive CD5 GOP nominee is an Iraqi defector journalist who happens to be some kind of “counterterrorism expert”. I guess she wanted to lose by Ba’ath party margins one more time.

Kaohly Her should still resign. On top of her being a sex pest and a bully, she believes in nothing. She did not sign an eviction extension during peak Metro Surge, she has no plan for housing, hasn’t joined any large city council efforts, and she never took a stance on anything during the campaign.

Covid lockdowns demonstrated, in a deeply imperfect way, the possibility of large-scale social solidarity for a higher cause. That is a prime reason why so many powerful people want us to run screaming away from them into the comforting arms of selfish individualist competition.

The diarrhea lettuce company, Taylor Farms, uses slave labor contracted from the Arizona Dept. of Corrections. The backbreaking labor is often performed by imprisoned Mexican nationals who would be otherwise ineligble to work in the US. They are paid $1.50 an hour.

The Diarrhea Lettuce Company Has Been Linked to Forced Labor

The lettuce-producing Taylor Farms was linked to the widespread use of prison labor before its involvement in a cyclospora outbreak.
