Saint Paul resident, mediocre cyclist, dad.

Summit Ave is a public asset
Cops already have a PR problem. Why aren't the brass working harder to change their shitty frat boy/tough guy culture?

It doesn't help cops do good work showing up looking like they did today.

Really looking forward to the hearings from the Saint Paul City Council on SPPDs behavior today. They came prepared to terrorize.

I'll be sending in complaints to the city, my CMs office, the Mayors office, and Mayor Elect Kaohly Hers office.

It's not a foolproof plan but every political debate from now on should be a Normal Guy competition. Ask them to describe grocery shopping in detail. Talk about what it's like to have a friend

Love seeing our community pushing back, but please don't bring dogs to possible interactions cops, feds, or other govt thugs
Federal agents wearing tactical gear used chemical irritants on protesters at the Bro-Tex facility in St. Paul.

Federal goons are present in our city. It's long past any need to discuss whether they are here in good faith or not. The raid in Mpls resulted in deportations and no drug arrests.

I hope there's a plan here.
Couple dozen people total (FBI, HSI, DEA) on site surrounding Bro-Tex at Hamden and Territorial.

“Just executing a search warrant” was the answer given on site.

Isn't this what @typewriteralley.bsky.social does in Seattle
A wealthy safe streets advocate could do the most good by paying a team of maybe a half dozen journalists to aggressively and comprehensively report every single traffic death in every major city. Depicting the horrifying human cost, FOIing PDs and DOTS, contextualizing it in policy choices, etc.

How do we define "problem" here? What's the issue? People are not thinking critically? People are getting angry about perceived lack of opportunities? People are voting poorly and against their own interests due to the above?

Lazy chuckle content is popular on the internet, anyways
There are a lot of people who are getting their information from memes and politics-flavored content, then turning around and making their own content based on it, and it’s making this problem worse.
People wildly overestimate the economic security experienced by past generations. There's no period in American history where significant numbers of young people were just handed high paying jobs. Nostalgia for a time that never existed is a huge problem.

Just biked across the East Side of Saint Paul. I'm excited to see Kaohly Her put pen to paper on her campaign statements regarding the infrastructure over here. Almost died like 4 times along Phalen Blvd and crossing Maryland is insane.

Summit trail (and reconstruction) supporters of bsky, what can Kaohly Her meaningfully do to destroy the plan for Summit?

I too rode my bike today, though in Saint Paul. A slight downgrade probably, but still great!
It’s a very nice day to ride bikes in Minneapolis

What would be a 650% discount? Like you get paid 550% of the original cost? Or...?

In Camden SC today and just saw a guy in the hotel lobby walking around with a 4 inch knife in what has to be marketed as a "tactical" holster along his belt. Aligned with his belt on the rear side of his pants.

I bet he feels ready for whatever might attack him today.

I've always been told the pay bathrooms in Europe were good because it kept them "nicer". In my experience in Hamburg, Amsterdam, and Osnabrück they have all been similar in cleanliness to public restrooms in the US. They've all smelled pretty bad too.
