Every cycle I think “I’ll caucus this time” and then I remember the onetime I did do it. It breaks my brain.

one thing the trump era has made clear, i think, is that the american people themselves are far more committed to the values of our founding documents than our elites

3/ I know I don’t live in Minneapolis any longer but this neighborhood is a huge part of me. It is devastating to see an invading force like this taking my neighbors.

2/ The house that my fist Girl Scout meetings were at until they moved to the park building. That corner of the park building that is on the left corner.

The big open place used to be a picnic area where they would give out free meals in the summer.

The playground is one my kids loved.

Yeah, it isn’t rural but the drop off from the city to farmland is pretty steep. I live on the edge of the city and vast cornfields are within walking distance. I am 4 miles from downtown. People are trying there best but population density does matter.

I don’t think I would hear whistles from three or four houses away from me. Any ICE activity would have to be right in front of my house.

The local signal chat also covers the whole city, which is very different than the hyperlocal chats of Minneapolis.
