People who give us hope: The singing resistance of Minneapolis
I love this new/old form of resistance. It's non-violent, compelling, and sends a great message of unity.
I've written about this a few times before, of course, but there is a critical mass building around this idea day by day, and I expect that this weekend there may be some huge singing event that will change the dialogue yet again.
Meanwhile, regular life is going on here, but kind of in a super-charged way. Last night there were political caususes for both parties, and reported turnout was very high. I get the sense that people want to do something, and political activity is one that they reach for (though more on the DFL side than Republicans, for the moment).
No one wants to hear me sing, and that's ok-- but I'm proud to be a in a city that is embracing beauty in a dark time.
