Medical marijuana will give you cotton mouth, make you take off all your clothes, and make you drink several flavors of soda. The staged room is painful to look at and requires fentanyl for relief.

Missouri, the Show Me State, as in Show Me We Need More Than A Half Assed Pandemic Hotline.
At least we now know where the money to track women's periods came from.
Missouri’s new coronavirus hotline does not accept calls from cellphones with out-of-state area codes. Glitch could mean some people seeking information, including nonresident college students studying here, are being left out. via

This story has no info on why they have temporarily closed. The slaughterhouse wanted to dump waste into Pomme de Terre River which feeds Pomme de Lake. People rose up against it. DNR rejected company’s application to use sketchy technology.

He's complaining about the view from a for-profit holiday pricey train ride thru industrial areas. City has bigger problems, like poor bus service.
Maybe this is his and his visitors first time on a train. Did they think it was like the zoo train?
Just took my kids on the Polar Express - talking to a lot of out of town visitors. This is what visitors see on the way to the ‘North Pole’. Why do we put up with this

Sarah Unsicker has gone to the dark side of antisemitism & conspiracy theories. She is not fit to hold public office.
Elad Gross & Tasha Kaminsky, his wife, are smart, sweet people who deserve our support against this bigotry & hate
I want to be clear: abortion medication remains safe and legal in Illinois.
One right-wing anti-choice Texas judge will not stand in the way of access to mifepristone in Illinois.
We fought bravely. No shame in losing to Chicago 48.7% to 51.3%.
Having been conquered, we gladly accept becoming ❤️ St. Louis, IL ❤️ and the mighty

Following today's school shooting in St. Louis City, Alderwoman Pam Boyd sunk to a new low among aldermanic tweets, sought the attention of a TV station, and wanted the tragedy to be all about her and her position on police funding.

Aldermanic President Megan Green, Alderwoman Alisha Sonnier, and Presidential Candidate Jill Stein are attempting to de-escalate with police and the university administration, but they will not respond.

Someone that I know (tho not well) got vaccinated because his son convinced him that he could get COVID and pass it on to his cows, hunting dogs, and deer. He wouldn't do it for himself or family, but would do it for farm animals and wildlife.
Our hearts are with the students, teachers and staff at Central VPA High School, located near our Arsenal store. 💔🙏 UPDATE: The St. Louis Public Schools are moving the family reunification location center to Gateway STEM High School, 5101 McRee Ave.

Good evening. A neighbor came by to tell me that she thought this corner of the garden looked like a painting by Monet. Flowers include blue sage, perennial sunflower, Mexican sunflower, salvia, Russian sage, sedum, lavendar, and a butterfly bush.
Meanwhile at Lake of the Ozarks (yes, That Lake)

Received news of a fourth COVID death among our family & friends. All four were healthy males 30-60, asymptomatic, then had respiratory problems, died shortly after diagnosis. Signing off for the day.
Wear a damn mask.
In Chicago, an independent accountability office — not the police department — decides what footage from police shootings and other serious incidents is released to the public.
Chicago has a long history of brutal, violent policing, but its latest approach to body-worn cameras and police oversight could serve as a national model.

Police don't need sensitivity training. The City needs to stop hiring racists/bigots. City is not going to turn racists/bigots into decent human beings by giving them a good talking to.

To protest a prosecutor, one St. Louis City detective was willing to let murder suspects walk free, even if he’d arrested them and believed that they should be behind bars.

Years ago, I suggested to my then alderwoman that thornless blackberries be planted around parks Downtown. Imagine how much more inviting & fun Kiener Plaza would be w/ edible hedge. Now I think all parks should have blackberries.
Absolutely livid. How do write a story about accused rapist Steve Roberts and leave out the accused rapist part? How do make this a story about some political beef and NOT about the accused rapist?
Shame on

Again, Alder Spencer has known for years that Water Division had revenue problems and was unable to keep up with infrastructure needs.
There would not be a 40% water rate hike proposal today if she and others had done their job in 2016.
Now Alder Spencer claiming she had no idea Water Division had revenue issues.
Bullshit. She's known about it for years. She was on Public Utilities when Alder French rate hike board bill (died in cmte) was heard in...2016
All over rural Missouri, sheriffs are pimping, in small county weekly newspapers, for a state constitutional amendment to make elected county sheriffs the supreme authority on law for the state and over federal matters.

Climate Change is real
St. Louis City is now Plant Hardiness Zone 7a, which means microclimates, heat islands, such as Soulard, are more like 7b or higher.

Most of Mo was Zone 5 in 1990, but now Zone 6. Some zip codes of Mo now Zone 7.

This dude needs professional help. He's the state representative from Fenton, St. Louis County, and is very confused about where he lives. Someone please help him get back home.
Tonight, I will deliver the response to Mayor Tishaura Jones' State of the City. St. Louis can be a world class city once again. We won't be if the same "leaders" fail to recognize and address our greatest challenges. Tune in here immediately following the Mayor's speech.

“School Choice” advocates often exploit children for profit—they also dupe well-meaning parents with slick rhetoric and false promises. Choice in rural America just means your kid’s school is defunded while public tax money is siphoned into private hands. It’s a grift.
In a May radio interview, Mayor Jones said, "Please don't sunshine my phone." 5 On Your Side submitted an open records request that same day. The text messages reveal her deep resentment of State Sen. Steve Roberts.
In the real world, which is not Twitter and not online surveys, a lot of St. Louisans would say they'd like some money to pay on utility bills, gas for the car, a painful tooth pulled.

St. Louis City's Police Chief expressed concern about overtime fatigue among police officers at Today's BOA Budget Hearing. He did not express similar concern for officer fatigue caused by working secondary jobs as privatized police for special tax districts.
