Apropos of nothing, each of Saint Paul’s police precincts holds a monthly meeting where they listen to the public and it’s usually just old people talking about how much they love cops. You can, you know, show up

Incredible pictures from Kerem Yücel today. I hope he’s ok.

Saint Paul Police said they were there to protect us.

Then why were they watching us and not the fascists who shot a journalist?
Infuriating to see reporters attacked. Here's @mpr.org photojournalist Kerem Yücel on a gurney in an ambulance. Caption: came "in contact with tear gas" and was hit with a projectile.

Translation: cops/agents sprayed @keremyucel.bsky.social with OC and shot him with a less lethal. 📸:Leila Navidi

Does anyone know how much St Paul police will be getting in the new budget this year compared to last year?

She said she saw federal agents arrest a person, dropping them “head first into the sidewalk. I don’t know what sound your head is supposed to make when it hits the cement like that, but we all heard the crack.” She said the person was clearly injured during the arrest.

I have to wonder how much local LE/politicians/news orgs are kind of counting on the coming weather + holiday drowning this story out. Sharing this video at your Thanksgiving table might be an important thing you can do in the next couple of days.

The frequency of helicopters in Saint Paul feels like its increased in the last few days

I'm suspicious that it's ICE related

We welcomed @mollycoleman.bsky.social to the Transportation Advisory Board today! It’s been great serving on this regional board with so many amazing community leaders. Today we’re voting on how hundreds of millions of regional transportation spending will be allocated for the next 5 years 🚌🚲

Those who've been following the Riverview project and especially the West 7th BRT project, have known that Commissioner Ortega, and Ramsey County as a whole is a big reason why this proect has stalled out.

Council President Noecker will be a great voice to push this vital project forward!
Just got the official news that St. Paul Councit President Rebecca Noecker is challenging Raphael Ortega for his long-time seat on the Ramsey County Board. Consider this my official endorsement! Ortega has been stagnating in there too long & we need change at the county. IMO she'd do a great job.

What are you people doing in there?! Why do all of you have full tint now? When did we make stop signs and red lights optional? Did we take additional classes to become this kind of dog shit?

I experience your bad driving when I’m on foot and bicycle but I mostly zip it because I just think I experience it more intensely without a car. But I’m wrong! It’s worse when I am among you! You’re so bad at driving it’s WILD.

Jenn is out of town so I have the car and I know I say this every time I drive but yall are truly truly terrible at driving. It’s unconscionable that we give out so many licenses so easily.

Turned away from the MN DFL event due to a bag policy that didn’t appear anywhere in the invitation.

The suggestion was to put my bag in my car. I took the bus

I’m curious how many people were turned away due to other bags (bike bags, groceries, diaper bags) and didn’t have storage options

New policies are needed and important, but it's also vital to have people in place who are passionate about making marginal gains in government that add up to major change

Consider this example of how Team Sky leveraged a lot of small improvements to become a dynasty in cycling
