Northfield Indivisible

Tonight is our monthly, in-person meeting at the Cannon Valley Friends Meeting house, here in Northfield. I neglected to post last week, but I’m trying to start off this week a little better! So here’s a post of what I plan on saying in my allocated 5 minutes tonight. So if you plan on being…

Happy post-April Fools Day! I think the biggest (lie) joke of the day, and the most infuriating, yesterday was the “address” given by 47 last night. Once again, the wanna-be king, the oligarch-in-charge, the baby-Cheeto-TACO-dictator has proven that he (and MAGA) is the greatest threat to our country, (and our planet). We must not back…

It’s been a while since I’ve posted. No excuses, just life and, as they say, (gestures around everywhere), all this. As it says on the home page, I promise to be more consistent moving forward! First off, today (March 31) is Trans Day of Visibility, and it’s an opportunity to celebrate the trans community in…

Caucus night If you’re reading this, then I want to remind you that tonight is Caucus Night in MN. This is your chance to influence things at the foundation. It’s not hard, and you can hang out with a bunch of your friends and neighbors and maybe move the needle a little. It’s been a…

“This is where our salvation lies: in our relationships in our communities, our love for our neighbors, and our hatred of bullies. There’s a suffocating amount of malice and evil out there right now. But there’s also a tremendous amount of good old-fashioned American moxie, compassion, and stubbornness.” That’s from an article by Aaroon Regunberg…

As you all now know, Greg Bovino (aka, “Capt. Nazi” cosplayer), has been removed from command. This is great. No question. But the fight is far from over. The Trump regime blinked, and it’s because of us — all of us in Minnesota, standing up and showing the world how it’s done! I have never…

As the January sub-zeros hit us, and the Trump Regime doubles and triples down on us, we can take hope that spring will come, (eventually), and ICE will leave MN, (inevitably). It’s up to us to continue to make our voices heard. Great reporting and toolkit from the Twin Cities Rapid Response Networks: “The rapid response…

ICE and the fascist regime continue to try and make an example of us here in MN. Threats to surge troops, (an additional 1,500 of them, bringing the total to over 3500), of invoking the Insurrection Act, and of orders — from our very own Heinrich Himmler, Stephen Miller — that MN Police and Law…

Trump and the Fascist Regime are threatening to send in Federal Troops and instigate the “Insurrection Act”. This DOES NOT MEAN that our 1st amendment rights are suspended. In fact, it is MORE IMPERATIVE that we protest, speak out, and defend our neighbors NOW. Please, keep up the good work, keep fighting the good fight.…

It was so great to see so many new people at the Northfield Indivisible Monthly Meeting last night! And even more on the Zoom link! (Which, honestly, was the first time we tried it out live, and could have gone better, we know…. Next time we’ll get it! I promise!) There’s so much, as always,…
