MPR is also unionized via SAG-AFTRA I believe (as much of NPR is, including me), so the union may be a source of information on specifically supporting staff.

You know me I don't share fundraisers unless I can tell you I trust them with my whole heart and my own wallet. This one gets protective gear to legal observers in Minneapolis / Saint Paul

If this is accurate, and I’m operating under the assumption that it is, I legitimately cannot understand the point of this kind of ops. Like, make people madder about what’s going on? Piss them off until you galvanize them into action?

oh nooooo
Taking a closer look after a prior thread I deleted & something I’ve noticed more & more is that many of these agitating white Canadian accounts talking about “what Americans aren’t doing” have that weird AI lighting sheen on the faces of their avatars. IYKYK

Worth noting that one reason you’re benefitting so fully from the Star-Tribune’s timely, extensive coverage of unfolding events is that it’s a metro newspaper that hasn’t been systematically starved to further enrich shareholders and executives.

I am so, so, SO fucking sick of this shit. I really need everyone who is not living in the USA right now and supporting this resistance to stuff an entire bag of socks in your mouth. Especially this fucking koont.

This. And Minnesota Public Radio kicks ass.
A nice day to subscribe to the Minneapolis Star-Tribune, even if you don't live there, or donate to one of the public radio stations in the area.

I am taking down the paywall for this one, as I believe it remains relevant as a reflection on the limits of the authoritarian assault – and the need to push back against the idea that America is inevitably and irresistibly marching towards a Trump dictatorship.

This week’s piece:
The Limits of Violent Authoritarianism
Trump’s authoritarian desires are boundless. But the past year proves that his ability to impose them on America is not.

"Americans are weak, they're not doing anything."

We're literally getting murdered in the streets, beaten, abducted, thrown into cells without food, water, or phone calls for protesting, but by all means, keep telling me more, random people from Europe, about how Americans aren't fighting.
