#StPaul

There is an urgent protest tomorrow (Wednesday April 16th) at the El Salvadoran Consulate in St Paul 3:00- 6:00 pm, sponsored by Indivisible Twin Cities, Womens March MN, & MN 50501.

Trump is refusing to obey the Supreme Court. El Salvador is harboring death camps of Americans deported without due process.

Let’s be clear — this is fascism.

MobilizeStop State Terror. Defend the Constitution. · Indivisible Twin CitiesThe Hands-Off Coalition of Indivisible Twin Cities, Minnesota 50501 and Women's March MN, will be standing on the sidewalk outside the El Salvadoran Consulate in St. Paul to support those who have been arrested without due process, sent to the notorious CECOT prison in El Salvador. We are standing up for all who have been targeted because of speaking out and protesting. We are protesting the Trump regime’s illegal actions and cruel defiance of court orders and the rule of law. This event will happen in St. Paul on Wednesday, 4/16, from 3-6pm. The El Savadoran Consulate is at 60 Plato Blvd, St. Paul, 55107. We hope to see you all there. The Trump regime has sent hundreds of legal residents to CECOT, a massive Salvadoran prison. Here are some quick facts: El Salvador’s dictator has said those in the prison “will never leave”. NONE of the people the U.S. sent to the Salvadoran prison received a trial - and 90% have no criminal record. The prison is notorious for human rights abuses. People in this massive facility are forced into rooms with 100 other prisoners for 23 1/2 hours a day, on metal bunks with no mattresses. Some do not even get a bunk. Trump is using state terror and has created a concentration camp in El Salvador with the help of the El Salvadoran government. These are meant to be death camps for the innocent people that have been moved there illegally by Trump. The U.S. government has already paid $6 million to El Salvador for the use of its prison. We will stand for all of those who are being jailed without due process, including immigrants, student protesters, and anyone who speaks out against the Trump regime and is being targeted for their speech and right to protest. Please join us.

Cleaning out the bookshelf to make room for music stuff.

I couldn't quite bring myself to get rid of "Mastering Regular Expressions." In part because what if (sneeze laughs into coffee ) I need a big regex?

Also because I bought that monkey paw I don't want to inflict it upon an innocent.

If you're in MPLS DM me if you want them and they're yours.

Saint Paul Minnesota It's a River Town

There is no doubt about it, Saint Paul Minnesota is a river town and it gets its character and personality from the mighty Mississippi that runs through it.

Packed up my rolly-walker and went over to the rally at the Minnesota State Capitol in St. Paul today. No camera on me bc I didn't know what kind of protest it was going to be, but it was packed! Easily 10k!

If I did have a sign it would've said, "It's So Bad Even The Spoonies Are Marching"

Edit: over 25K according to AP/MPR!

Disturbing story out of St. Paul. A major downtown building at a crossroads of the skyway system has kicked out all its tenants.

“We are very concerned by not just what’s happening with the business, but the way that they're doing it. You can’t treat people like that,” [St. Paul mayor Melvin] Carter said on MPR News’ Morning Edition. …

"[Jeweler Paul] Hartquist said it would have been impossible for him to move in 48 hours and has started to carefully pack up items and take them home. His business has been in Alliance Bank Center for almost 36 years."

Uffda. Minnesota capital city's only downtown grocery is closing.

Fred Melo writes in the PiPress:

"Tres Lund, chief executive officer of the Edina-based supermarket chain, said the grocery, which opened at 115 East 10th St. in 2014, had been profitable in its first seven or eight years, but struggled during the pandemic when downtown employers shifted to remote work."
