If you're from outside MN and feel weird about sending a "Hope you're okay!" text to someone here, don't. Haven't talked since high school? Ex-coworker from 6 years ago? Already sent one a week ago? Doesn't matter.
Every time I get one it's a big relief that people are paying attention.

If you love people, tell them that as well.
Minnesota have you eaten something? Drank some water? Doesn't matter what you eat, fed is best. Drink some water.

this is the key problem with continuously executing random members of the populace: you can’t kill everybody, and the ones you don’t kill are more likely to start squaring with the possibility of it than fleeing in terror
Only speaking personally, but today’s execution isn’t scaring me from protecting our neighbors, as some suggest is ICE’s goal. Nor am I angry with incandescent rage, in that I know such rage is unhelpful. Rather, I feel like it has forced me to truly accept that the same fate might befall me.

This is just the beginning of something beyond us. What we do here in Minneapolis in this moment will shape the course of our resistance.
We, ourselves, may not get to see the other side of what’s to come. But I do know it ends with us winning.

my last note of the night, my pappy made my day today when he told me that he ordered whistles and distributed them to his neighbors and coworkers.
it is so, so not his style. they really don’t know how they are changing regular people. which is good, because we need all of them.
