A HUGE thanks to everyone who showed up at our monthly Northfield Indivisible meeting last night!!!
We covered a lot of ground, and set up a lot of things for moving forward.
I’ll go through the recording of the meeting and put up some notes, (maybe even post the recording itself, if the quality is decent). probably tomorrow.
Meantime — last night Mary H. had just seen Steven Levitsky’s talk at St. Olaf, as part of the Buntrock Institute for Freedom and Community Conversation. She was super-enthused about his presentation, titled “The Great Abdication: How American Democracy Died”. I have to say, after listening/watching it, I agree!

A couple of other things I’ve been reading and watching today – things that offer hope and encouragement, direction and perspective.
Today’s post from 50501, “They’re Not Fighting Him. They’re Fleeing Him”
From yesterday, Dec. 8, Christopher Armigtage’s post, “Stop Waiting for Trump to Die”
And, a musical coda, Jesse Welles, (I love this guy!!!) performing “Join ICE” on Colbert.
