The secret to winning elections is to let your most able to talk to normal people talk to people. No, not your most passionate. Your most able to talk to normal people. We don't always need you at a 10. And yet you're always at a 14.

*professional editor hat* I read through the whole thing and by the very end I actually thought there were some thoughtful insights into like… the aesthetics of community vs actual community building, the importance of art that challenges us, etc. But my god. Cut the piece in half, at least.

Minnesota's antifascist DNA stretches back to the Civil War, if not earlier. But if you want to learn about the heroes who fought Nazis here a generation ago you can watch this.

The newest video shows very clearly that they attacked him for coming to an aid of a woman that the agents pushed, and then executed him while he was immobilized. Everything the government has said, like with Good, has been a complete lie.

One of the MOST significant things about this — and an important lesson to highlight, not obscure, for national/international readers — is how widespread local opposition is. I’ve never seen more normal folks involved. The overwhelming broad consensus local support lifts me up when I let it.

In the past 7 months, the Twin Cities have seen the assassination of State Rep Melissa Hortman & her husband and the attempted murder of State Sen John Hoffman and his wife, the mass shooting of children at Annunciation Church, and now the murder of an innocent women by an ICE agent. It hurts.
