Minneapolis. I have a cat.
We’ll make a mighty river flow/Marching and singing in the falling snow/In Minnesota, small things grow/We don’t give in when the winter winds blow/Cause we look out for our neighbors, doncha know. -Katie Dahl

In Solidarity with Minnesota, January 23by Katie Dahlinspired by the poem “Land of 10,000 Lakes” by @ollieschminkey I come from Minnesota, where we don’t like to say goodbyeWhen the hot dish supper’s over, we push back from the table and say “well, I suppose”That’s Minnesota code for “time to go,” but we don’tWe just go on talking in our stocking caps and coatAs the heat becomes unbearable and we’re sweating through our clothesCause there’s a lot to talk about, doncha knowYeah we could stand there all nightIn our winter boots in the front hall lightNever going outsideIn Minnesota we don’t like to say goodbyeI come from Minnesota, where we don’t believe in showing offIf someone says they like our sweater, we tell them we bought it for 50% offWe believe in shopping at the cheap end of the mallWe know all the biggest trees are short before they’re tallYeah just look at Bobby Dylan, came from Hibbing after allHere the mighty Mississippi started smallNow that river runs like a freight trainLittle trickle pickin’ up a million drops of rainLake Itasca to the Gulf of MexicoIn Minnesota, small things growI come from Minnesota, where the cops don’t know when to stopKnee on neck, finger on trigger, unmarked SUVs on every Minneapolis blockWell if they come to take our neighbors then we’re takin’ to the streetBringin’ food and bringin’ diapers to the ones who are scared to leaveYeah we’re kickin’ all the tear gas back beneath the SUVWe’ll melt the ice with a little Minnesota heatCause we can stand here all nightCell phones shining clear and brightBearing witness like the northern lightsWe’ll make a mighty river flowMarching and singing in the falling snowIn Minnesota, small things growWe don’t give in when the winter winds blowCause we look out for our neighbors, doncha know.

Over-armed ICE agents are moving through our neighborhoods here in MN, killing and teargassing us with impunity and our state’s so-called business leaders are the dad in the front seat turning around to say “Knock it off you two.”

Gathering in Gold Medal Park to remember Alex Pretti. This hit me a little like the Edelweiss moment in The Sound of Music

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.

White. Hot. Rage.
