This is what Minnesota does - we don't sit still, we don't stay silent, we find our way of protesting and do it.

In Minnesota, “love your neighbor as yourself” isn’t just a Bible verse. It’s a way of life.

In Minneapolis and many other communities across the country, we're seeing people come together to peacefully protest and support their neighbors. If you're looking to get involved, here are some ways to help:

Naming someone is not doxxing. They aren’t undercover. They aren’t intelligence agents overseas. This is outrageous - we are supposed to be a free Republic and these people want an authoritarian police state. Lawsuits should be filed & ranking Dems in Congress should act.

This is what’s happening in Minnesota. It already happened in LA and Chicago. It is starting in Maine now. Scare tactics don’t work when the community supports each other. Stay strong! Right makes might!

ICE attacked an observer after they tailed a group of clergy on a spiritual pilgrimage.
Our digital producer @sam.vp just so happened to be with the clergy on their journey. He spoke with the observer who was attacked and others who witnessed the assault.

every single successful general strike in US history has had union backing through the local AFL-CIO
this is the first time it’s been called for since the 1940s

I’m in shock! This album (and my husband, Hans-Martin Buff) were nominated for a Grammy for Best Immersive Album! Second nomination in two years! Shocked and overwhelmed but also extremely proud! #Grammys #Tearjerkers #Grammys2026 #immersive #music
To celebrate my husband’s debut record release - buff.lnk.to/tearjerkers, I thought I’d do something fun. I’m offering a free cover letter or first page critique for anyone who can guess which song on the album was written for me. #writers #editing #coverlettercritique #firstpagecritique

My heart is breaking for Minneapolis right now. I went to Catholic schools my entire life in southern MN. I have family members who have spent their entire lives teaching in Catholic schools. Shooting children during mass? Nothing is sacred — except the right to own as many fucking guns as you want.
