Historian here 💯 what Minnesotans have done is show the way in protecting our modern interracial democracy, a legacy of Reconstruction when its foundations were laid.
My theory of the moment: The extraordinary courage of ordinary people in places like Minneapolis is reawakening us to our social and economic ties to immigrants. It's making "love thy neighbor" cool again. That's the ultimate antidote to MAGA hate.

The Ford govt uses taxpayer money to pay for spa parking on waterfront land being stolen from us while underfunding our hospitals. A 2% increase in spending per year = HC cuts.

I can tell you why, at least at CTV. I used to chase produce for Newschannel when Power Play was off air.
You'd show up for work, making (in my case) less than 50K a year, and you'd have like, two hours at a time to find someone to speak about XYZ, on national TV, with next to no notice.

a wonder, how many people will say “look at everything you’re doing, amazing! can you also do this totally different thing, for free, which I am getting paid to do?”

I don’t really know what I expect in posting this, but maybe some people see it and can learn from it.

Here's my favorite shot in "Harold and Maude." It's an entire family history, beautifully enacted by Bud Cort and Vivian Pickles. And the music cue is just perfection.
