Minnesota’s arts orgs are losing funding for refusing to comply with a federal effort to resegregate the country. Billion-dollar foundations like McKnight, Bush, & MAC must step up. Your endowments will be worthless in a fascist state. Fund the resistance. Fund the arts. Now.

THIS. Mike Rowe is a trained opera singer. Most of your “just folks” general contractor types are *absurdly* wealthy. But sure, the barista with a BA from Directional State U (Go Compass Points!) is the “elite.”

Calling it “Gulf of America” is like when Van Halen didn’t want brown M&Ms backstage. It’s a test to see who is following the instructions. In Trump’s case, it is to see who will tolerate more and bigger steps towards Trump’s authoritarianism.
