Minnesota absentee voting (in person at your county election center or by mail) begins FRIDAY, SEPT 18. You can pick up ballot materials in person, vote/get witnessed from home, and hand-deliver -- there is an official process for this -- as an alternative to mail delivery, or just vote on site. /1

The systems and frameworks that help communities recover from disasters were built and improved over decades. This year has shown they can be hollowed out faster than that. What’s been lost will be painfully visible when it’s needed most and it is severely incapacitated or just isn’t there.
