Thank you so much for coming to Mpls! My teen son and I were at the Thursday show. I didn’t speak during the hate/hope audience participation part at the end, but if I had, I would’ve said that I hate that Trump and his fascist mafia are looting our country.
Thank you for coming to Minneapolis. It was the group therapy I needed. Sometimes primal screams of “Fuck Ice” and loud “boos” to statements about our current government is exactly what the psyche needs, even though I’m completely hoarse now!
Minor league baseball hat was from me. If you come back for baseball, you can see two great ballparks just a train ride apart. Happy to give you tips for food along the way.
It was great meeting you, Jim, and I second the comment about the Columbia Heights Superintendent interview with Sam Stein from the second night. I hope that one gets shared with the world. Thanks to the whole team for coming here. It was a bright point in a dark winter.
It was one of the great highlights of my life to come to the Wednesday show and to meet Jim, Sarah, Tim, Bill and JVL. You all are doing the Lord's work! Thank you!
Jim, I loved, loved the shows, both shows! There were differences that made it worthwhile to attend both. So glad I made the trip from Chicago ( where we’ve had enough snow so I didn't need more), but it did make a stunning pic of the Pantages neon sign. Meeting everyone was such a bonus! Thanks to all who had a hand in putting on the shows.
JVL, the work you all do is the best example of the true American spirit, I come here to find a better way to communicate and articulate my thoughts. I don’t have to like reality, I detest it, but it’s my obligation to be honest with myself and keep my eyes open, bear witness to the things done in our name, and never forget. I didn’t talk too much about “the situation” with people I know, I always call it “the solution”. Listening to the Minnesota show, I learned how conditioned I was to never speak about politics and religion, these are impolite topics of conversation. I now believe that this is why I feel so isolated and powerless. So, yesterday I had the courage to speak about “the situation” with my haircut lady, she’s so sweet, usually we talk about my hobby or her husband’s hobbies; this time I was enraged about the abduction of a family and kids by the state secret police, our SS, and we both were talking about this. She’s a devout Christian, I’m a former Catholic, now a nonbeliever, but we connected on the principle of love your neighbor. The situation is not right! We concluded that watching the news is so hard, painful, the news are terrible. But we cannot keep looking the other way, we can’t keep ignoring or pretending this is right, the pain feel watching the news is the prime indicator of our humanity, this rage can be our strength. And I muster the courage after listening and reflecting on what Sarah said in the Minnesota show. Thank you both and the whole team.
Paco - yeah, there's a knife edge between situation/solution. Great observation: the pain indicates our humanity. 30 years ago I heard this great song, it plays in my head often over these decades: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rDNM4vJxHv4 - "a heart that hurts is a heart that works." Lyrics might sound like a love song but it's meant much more to me than that during dark times
Will you share the conversation between Sam and the Columbia Heights superintendent? It was so moving. The whole evening was amazing. We’ll treasure meeting Bill and the rest of the gang. Thank you.
Jim, the team really has to come back to Philly for the 250th anniversary.
Keep those Redhawks updates coming. We’re a Miami family!
I'm looking for the Tim Walz interview - also which show has the interview with the school board superintendant?
I'm wondering where the Governor Walz interview is, too.

Billikens brawl! Oh, my!
