Progressive/liberal St. Louis and Missouri political Twitter follows.

March 8, 2016 4:10 PM

What are some good non-msm (and non-spammy) progressive/liberal Twitter accounts I can follow that will keep me up to speed on St. Louis and Missouri state government political activity?

I'd like to find some (say, 3-6ish) non Post-Dispatch/local news stations/Riverfront Times*** accounts that report on St. Louis (primarily city, but county is okay too) and Missouri politics, but don't want to follow anyone that is going to throw 200 tweets a day into my timeline. Not looking at any specific topic, but I'm not averse to single topic orgs. Thinktanks, independent media, local blogs etc. are (probably) what I'm looking for.

***That said, if there are local msm political reporters that you like, that's an okay thing to recommend. I've only been here ~2 years, so I don't have much of a foundation)

Best answer: Nextstl is good for infrastructure and development (and the areas in which those intersect with policy and politics)

Best answer: They're all individuals (not orgs), but I love Sarah Kendzior. She tweets on politics in general but is in St. Louis so will also tweet MO stuff here and there. Also Johnetta Elzie and Antonio French.
