Well, Wes, this sent me down a bizarre astroturf rabbit hole. Let's see who the super creeps behind this are! WakeUpSaintPaul.org is a generic site with some bogus survey likely designed to collect names. It says its a "project of the Domestic Policy Caucus".

Improvements here, heartbreak there — surprising changes along the river trail after a week off from back to school sickness. I thought we were over this whole wire theft thing. Not looking forward to another dark winter on the trails.

Big achievement in my hypermobility Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (hEDS) journey — getting PIP braces! My fingers have always bent back like crazy, but now thanks to my occupational therapist they don't! I can already feel my hands being more stable and less inflamed. 🙌 Silver rings, here I come.

On Sept. 9, newsroom management gave us less then two weeks to cull the herd — 2 or 3 of us must go. What do you cut when you’re down to bone? Would St. Paul benefit from not having a City Hall beat? No more State Capitol reporter? No more schools? We must choose by Monday, or layoffs likely follow.

Every time we hear "The homeless people didn't use the resources we offered," the next questions should be "What specific resources did you offer? Were they actually meant to be helpful to people you claim to want to help? Did you offer actual shelter? Did it accommodate couples? Pets? Wet or dry?"

Jennifer Nelson’s entry to this year’s Minnesota State Fair crop art
A localized version of Guernica with a loon at the center and a person holding an ICE OUT sign 

“My piece was inspired by Picasso's Guernica, a work that was his response to the Nazi's bombing of the Basque town. I thought there was a fitting parallel between these incidents about the high price paid by ordinary people when aggressive regimes try out new tactics of war, as well as a fitting juxtaposition of the darkness of living such an experience and the light we shone through it in our own resistance and care for one another. The patterns near Renee Good and Alex Pretti’s mouths are actually their last words in Morse code: ‘I’m not mad at you,’ and ‘Are you okay?’”

This is exactly what we hoped would happen. St. Paul proves, once again, it is the safer and more renter-friendly of the Twin Cities. It's all thanks to our council members, and no thanks to the mayor. At least we have *that* in common.

“Silly” is a good way to put it! There were excesses in 2020 but they were mostly low-stakes efforts by well-intentioned people to address real injustices. The excesses of the right during the same era were far more harmful. The reckoning we need now is about how elites lost sight of that.
