This is the voice of someone who has been chair before
Person running for DFL vice chair of precinct 10-1 pledges to do a "C minus" job and attend "some meetings" but if literally anyone else is willing to do a C plus job, she would step aside.

We've got thousands in the street two weeks in a row in subzero temps.
We need twenty three elected Republicans just to go to work.

Man, remember in World War Z when Max Brooks wrote VERY obvious expies of Bill Maher and Anne Coulter banging through the zombie apocalypse? Never has an author more perfectly understood his subjects.

Super helpful post.
Been thinking about how we’re not okay here in Minnesota and how events and the state of affaires are echoing in our day to day world. A thread.

To top it all off, both men worked as care givers.
ICE killing #AlexPretti should remind you of police killing #PhilandoCastille. Both men had concealed weapon permits, did not draw their guns, & were killed in Minn. These homicides are the price of unaccountable policing. These deaths are variations on the same fatal theme.

Establishing the run against authoritarian rule, as @edsbs.bsky.social says, requires the little things, the acts of resistance and kindness and community that eventually add up to something much larger and transformative.

Oooh! I have a take. I think George Floyd absolutely prepared them BUT
I think the MN Caucus system also did.
They basically made informal precincts.
(I regret that I have to hand it to caucuses 😔)

If the admin's strategic goal was to break public resistance to immigration enforcement activities, it was a tactical mistake to go to the Twin Cities.

As a mother of two little ones, I just want to take a moment to thank everyone who is going out to make their voices heard. Please stay warm!
Friends, we got this.
Remember:
- Your hand and boot warmers only last 4 hours, and less if they've been on your shelf awhile. Bring extra, for you and someone else.
- Neck gators get damp and will freeze. Bring a spare.
- Ski goggles will keep your eyelashes from getting iced up.
