General Discussion

This is a "thank you" back. I live on the border of Minneapolis and St. Paul. My family and I have been out in the cold streets protesting and contributing to those afraid to venture out to get food. We have attended vigils for Melissa and Mark Hortman and for Renee Good and now Alex Pretti. I have videoed an ICE arrest on my block where my face was captured by their facial recognition camera, so I am now in their "domestic terrorist" data base. We are not paid to do these things and we do not do them for praise. But being SEEN and recognized as doing something good is empowering! That means that this movement will not just stay here, but will spread. Prince said that the Revolution would start in Minnesota. (He loved this place, too. God, how we miss him!) Please just take heart that we the people have power that can be used for great good. We can still save our country in this our 250th anniversary year. Help people register to vote and volunteer to serve at the polls. Get to know your neighbors and look out for each other. Speak up when you see injustice or corruption. Protect the Constitution and the Rule of Law. Don't be afraid of those who don't look like you. Exhibit basic human decency for your children and for your community. And thank you for noticing us up here in the North Star State.
