Thank you to everyone who came out to de-escalation basics for DFL (and safety planning) for volunteers today. I hope this training was useful at a time where we all recognize rising tensions in politics. I’m happy to do this training for any other DFL unit or organization if that’s helpful!

From a St Paul Dept of Safety and Inspections email: construction permit for a new $11m CBP building construction permit at 670 Bayfield Street next to the downtown StP airport. Note location right near the runways. "Great" place to deport from! @mollycoleman.bsky.social @melvincarter.bsky.social

Grateful to everyone who’s reached out about me running in the 64A special election.
Honestly, it’s just too much to ask of my family (especially with a 6-month-old), my students, and my colleagues.
I’m sure our little corner of St. Paul will find a great representative!

The municipal elections are settled and over, and we’re just 70 days away from the start of the legislative session.
If you’re a DFLer, right now is the time to stop attacking our DFL House and Senate caucus members. We don’t have time for this crap in a divided legislature.

If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation.
Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

Just witnessed someone trying to fireb*mb Fletcher’s Ice Cream in NE. Saw a dude acting weird next to a parked car in front of the place. I walked by, heard a smash through my earbuds, smelled gasoline/kerosine. Turned around, snapped some photos instinctively. Thankfully they suck at molot*vs.

Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption.
Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow.
People have power. Ask Target
