The history of activism and protest in Minnesota
I have been hell on MPR and NPR in general. And I don’t apologize for that even in the slightest. They have knuckled under to MAGAts for no freaking reason. On their knees and STILL lost their federal funding. You think that would cause them to grow a spine, but no, not really.
That said, some reporters still do the work, even if they still give air time to awful people. So, with ALL those caveats in mind, I am gonna post some recent stories and forums hosted on MPR lately.
Here’s a bit of a history lesson on how things work up here.
As immigration crackdown spreads beyond Minneapolis, the small town of Northfield resists
No, ICE isn’t staying in the Twin Cities. They are all over the state. It sucks, it really does, but take heart. Folks are fighting back.
Dara’s Guide to Handling Reality
Folks are hurting in the Twin Cities and across the state. While kidnapping people, destroying families, and terrorizing Americans seems to be the goal; destroying blue state economies is also on the agenda.
Minnesota Proved MAGA Wrong
This ain’t over here by a long shot, but turning the narrative might save this country.
Minnesotans have to do that every so often it seems.
She Fought the Far Right Online for Years. Now She Wants to Do It in Congress
Long odds candidate but she seems to be the better option for this moment. I wish her luck, and have passed on a few bucks.
A Culinary Tour of American Gas Stations
I have been to at least one of these, probably too young to remember a couple of others but they do look familiar.
Minnesota’s biggest companies starting to feel heat from ICE surge
More on the total radio silence from Minnesota’s business community in the face of relentless insurrectionist violence.
Minnesota’s corporate silence on ICE surge
Our communities are being terrorized by masked, armed insurrectionists and the state government is waiting for a judge to say it is okay if we can be protected by law enforcement and the National Guard.
The business community? Either silent or providing services to the kidnappers.
Provided we make it through this, remember who did not have your back.
Benjamin Percy’s Horrifying News
I have been following Ben Percy’s work for awhile, even got to meet him at a book release (and got some Wolverine issues signed). Seems like a cool cat.
Now he’s working on a thing with Stephen King himself and it is using regional resources to put it into play.
Yes, I have already subscribed…even got one for my brother (shh, don’t tell him).
