Hey twin cities friends!
There’s a new website for the Mn Rapid Response network, now called Monarca.
It has the hotline to call if you see 🧊 activity as well as Know Your Rights information and lists upcoming community trainings.
A great resource. Please share widely!

gotta do something with this, but the only meaningful thing i've come up with is that it's freezing out now, and a lot of people need a coat.

Anyone have some crafty evenings free? Winter is my favorite time for projects ❤️ this might feel too small to matter, not as important as heat, or cheesy, but for the people who choose to take one I promise it means so much.

Every available dollar and cent of public money should be going towards public education. Abolish charter & private schools, build many more public ones, hire much more faculty (with student loan forgiveness for all education workers) also make homeschooling much much more difficult
"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

Those of us who are SA survivors are used to the mass shrug in response to even the most overt evidence of horrific behavior. Epstein's crimes and the complicity of many influential figures involved have been known for decades (’05 to be exact). It's never mustered much interest or consequence.
