nix<p>I've been toying with the idea of some sort of Solarpunk/Library Socialism Movement in St. Louis for a while.

𝑩𝒓𝒊𝒂𝒏 𝑯𝒂𝒓𝒑𝒆𝒓<p>Good morning everyone. There is wide spread destruction across the state of Missouri. Multiple tornadoes ripped through our area. We have trees down and hail damage.

The power has been off since 9pm last night so I hope it's back in soon.

Roland Klose<p>The state takeover of St. Louis’ police department, which is working its way through the Missouri Legislature, could prove a boon for journalists and City Hall. For journalists, it’ll be a return to the opaque and politicized system that yielded many entertaining stories (like the 1982 selection of Eugene Camp’s successor that I wrote about as a cub). For City Hall, it means blame for crime and potential corruption will likely stop at the governor’s desk, not the mayor’s. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/stlouis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>stlouis</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/missouri" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>missouri</span></a></p>

Roland Klose<p>In 1950, when the population of St. Louis peaked at 857K, the Post-Dispatch launched its influential series, “Progress or decay?” </p><p>The newspaper did not pull punches when it described the condition of the city: “More than a third of the city of St. Louis is blotted by areas of blight and of progressively worsening slums.” </p><p>75 years later, the decay is just as bad. But, with a population now below 282K, it’s evident that the majority of St. Louisans voted for “progress” — by leaving.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/stlouis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>stlouis</span></a></p>
