MINNESOTA: Friday is a statewide day of non-violent moral action and reflection. That means no work, no school, and no shopping — only community, conscience, and collective action. Plus, there will be a peaceful march and rally in downtown Minneapolis: iceoutnowmn.com

“Don’t be afraid” could be considered a central theme from @hcrichardson.bsky.social letters. Speak up, stand up for what is right, talk about choices both individually and collectively for education, governance and healthcare. There’s great power in our voice. open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

Really interesting thoughts I haven't seen elsewhere on what the next phase of American democracy might look like.
