It feels like 2017 all over again. Every day I learn the name of a child who suffered horrific abuse who has been fighting for justice for years, and her abusers name is being protected by the government.

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports.
And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.”
Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.

N95s offer superior protection against flu and Covid.
They can protect your health and the health of those around you.
Many people also find them much more comfortable than surgical masks.
If you can’t afford them, look for your local mask bloc.
If you can afford them, please donate!
