I recently reposted a former congressional staffer who said that when an issue got 20-30 calls it would get representatives freaked out and ready to do something. It takes less than you’d think, because so few people actually take that kind of action
Grassroots activism at work
* in general, representatives get few calls
* 20-30 calls could get them to do something
Don't necessarily need a lot of people. Just need enough people willing to do the work.

I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports.
And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.”
Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.

It's MANDATED BY CONGRESS to be an editorially independent paper that reports ON the troops FOR the troops.

At a time when federal disaster support is questionable, it's good to invest more effort into personal safety
- 60% of people have not practiced/prepared for an emergency
- 55% think they can rely on the government to save them
Part of being able to take care of others is taking care of yourself.
