Last weekend’s Greater Minnesota Summit was a joy. More than 50 Minnesotans attended, and we’re so grateful for the stories we heard and the connections we made across the state.
I’ve been thinking a lot about the Tiger King part of the pandemic. I’d just landed my job here at TakeAction, and I was painting my friend Maddy’s kitchen and
It’s been two years since we started calling frontline workers “essential” as they kept our state running during the pandemic. They showed up every day, including without proper personal protective equipment (PPE) for most of the first year of the pandemic. These nearly 700,000 health care workers, educators, food service workers, janitors, security officers, government employees, meatpackers, and more risked their lives to go to work, while hundreds of thousands of Minnesotans have gotten sick and nearly 10,000 have died.

I’m going to find Central Minnesota neighbors who will stand beside me against Trump and Trumpism, for communities that protect, include, and value everyone — across race, gender, sexuality, immigration status, income, and disability.
“The after-action report confirmed it was Jacob Frey’s complete incompetence and lack of preparedness that cost Minneapolis so dearly following George Floyd’s murder – not the peaceful demonstrators and mourners he has repeatedly sought to blame and surveil.

It is an egregious abuse of power that further stains a historically dirty election and is yet another example of corruption in the Frey administration.”
Those of us who live in northern Minnesota and have progressive political opinions need a political home.
