"Hey, Doc, you okay? What's wrong?" When he doesn't respond, they reach over and gently take the knife away before saying his name a little louder. Then, with no response, they ask Tyche, "Tyche, will you call the captain?" (1/2) #WIPSnips #WritingCommunity #WriteSky

A picture of a park. There is a blue ebike on the right. A water bottle and books in the middle. A blanket covers the bottom of the frame. The books are polywise and a firefly novel.

Note to media: police arresting peaceful protesters singing “give peace a chance” is not protesters “clashing” with police. It’s the state violating the First Amendment rights of people upset that human beings who did nothing illegal are being held without due process and being fed maggots.

God bless you, Dane Smith. An old-school Stribber who hadn’t descended into madness - even with a DSA defense! #notallboomers www.startribune.com/mn-best-stat...
From the Strib op-ed: Another favored scapegoat for Minnesota's problems are the young
Democratic Socialists who now constitute about a third of the Minneapolis City Council. Pinning blame on them deflects attention from the role that billionaires and corporations, with their political contributions to both parties, have played in acquiring an ever larger share of income and wealth.
We also need to remember that radical equality-minded reformers in our past helped shape Minnesota's political culture and superior standard of living.
From early abolitionists to the Progressive movement to the Farmer-Labor Party's dominance in the 1930s, Minnesota's radicals usually put us on the right side of history. Today's socialist zealots fit that tradition, and many of their policy demands - such as affordable housing, Medicare for All and higher wages and benefits for workers - are reasonable and long overdue.
