As a fellow Minnesotan I’m horrified by what is happening to my beloved hometown. But I’m also so proud of how people are coming together to support one another. Thank you so much for all you’re doing for your community, and by extension our whole country. Please know there are millions of us who feel the same way you do and are supporting from afar. Please take care of yourselves, but do not give up. We will win this fight.
