Thank you to the City of Saint Paul for hosting a food drive for community members affected by the government shut down. There will be four sites across the city. Donations of shelf-stable food and hygiene products are welcome. www.twincities.com/2025/11/04/s...
St. Paul started a food drive for SNAP recipients. Here’s how to donate.
There are four sites to drop off food. City officials ask that donors drop off items during normal hours. And, all items must be new, unopened shelf-stable food and hygiene products.

Democrats didn’t cave. They boxed republicans in and made them own the shutdown. Watch.

If Washington won’t lead, Minnesota will.

Trump is holding our tax dollars hostage and cutting off the funding that keeps 440,000 Minnesotans from hunger.

I just announced $4 million in new funding for Minnesota’s food shelves to help our neighbors weather the storm.

Today, I'm thinking of Paul, Sheila, Marcia, Mary, Tom and Will. They were taken from us much too soon. We honor their memories by continuing to organize every day.

Paul believed that when we all do better, we all do better.

So today, stand up and keep fighting. 💚

Big news out of Indiana today as Republican legislators surprise everyone by saying no to Donald Trump.

Each crack in Trump’s facade of inevitability will lead to more. Let’s keep it up!

Remember folks. The original bluesky ethos by us bluesky elders (apparently I count?) is block and move on.

Don't quote dunk, don't pick fights.
Block, and move on.

This is what made this site unpalatable to the right early on, and we can continue to make it unpalatable to them.
