Hey Minnesotans. Have your bosses sent you a mealy-mouthed email about how to remain productive during these troubled times or some other example of non-committal, faux-concerned corporate-speak? We want to publish a bunch of these. Send examples to keith at racketmn.com. You will NOT be identified.

I know it's hard to track all the threats to democracy out there right now, but this is at the top of the list.

Trolls are review-bombing MN businesses that supported the strike

I made a thing to make it easy-ish to leave good reviews for them because ACAB includes algorithms

It's still a lot of clicks and taps, but it's better than from scratch I think

In a dispatch from Minnesota, I want to talk about "Real Minnesota" and the failed, pathetic vision of Minnesota that Tom Emmer and City Church offer. I want to talk about how Real Minnesotans take care of strangers.

America sucks, but there’s an awful lot of great Americans, and an awful lot of them are Minnesotans
I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

still feels like folks outside of MN are kind of not getting it: our state has been under attack for over a month, and the resistance is being organized by literally your regular old neighbors and coworkers and friends.

Stop what you’re doing and read this whistleblower report. ICE has been training its agents that they don’t need a judicial warrant to break down your door - a blatant violation of the 4th Amendment. www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

i found some great places to donate using the list put together by @ziibiing.com

don't give your money to consultants for some vague promise, give it to people who will go out right now, today, and buy a car full of groceries for a family that's too afraid to leave their home.

This is VERY well written, as most of @blindeke.bsky.social pieces are. Share with people who don't live here, so they can get a better idea who we are, and how this moment is different. #MNProud
