@AkaSci kudos to Bruce Springsteen. He understands the power of protest folk music.

@solitha @andrewstroehlein We do know how it played out. The whistles were from Chicago. Faith leaders in Portland etc. Rapid Responders in ALL the cities. The general strike was because a white person was killed. She shouldn't have been killed but that's what grabbed the news and the community (white) that finally got the message of what has been going on. People are working on a nationwide strike through Indivisible before anyone was killed.

@andrewstroehlein The article is well written but what troubles me is that these things Minnesotans are doing have been done by Portland, Seattle, LA , Oakland, DC, New Orleans and not that long ago Chicago. People have been fighting since before August! Press is only interested when a white person gets killed or threatened. I applaud all the folks standing up in Minnesota, but it isn't an anomaly, it's the new reality.

@CathyBikesBook Are you having trouble finding us to follow? If so, send me a DM and I'll recommend some folks.
