A Pot of Brothy Beans — Alison Roman Ring in the new year with a big pot of brothy beans (yes, this recipe works with black eyed peas!).

A pot of homemade beans lasts all week and is soooo much yummier than canned beans. www.alisoneroman.com/recipes/brot...

Of course there are! That’s because they’re normal people who have never had occasion to be the story before. Which is why it’s so important they DO talk to media.

I will hook Sam or anyone else on the ground up with trusted, experienced media trainers for free to make it much less scary

Agree, but also, there is no playbook here. There are gonna be disagreements about strategy. I come down squarely on Will’s side that the media is a powerful tool and could/should be used strategically. But also, I could be totally wrong

trusted journalists need access to be able to show and document what is really happening, while protecting people and important info as well.

a good journalist can do both. i think it is imperative to show what these operations are doing, so no alternative narratives can be attached to them.

Reminds me strongly of trying to work with Occupy back in the day. Decision making was incredibly decentralized and the only people who wanted to be IDed as “spokesperson” were interlopers

Good! Talking to media is intimidating and a skill. People should know that they don’t have to figure it out alone

For the amazing on-the-ground heroes in MN: it would be sooo valuable for you talk to media. We need to show that it’s just regular folks who are standing up for their neighbors.

If you would like media training to help you feel comfortable doing that, please hmu

Incredibly bravery of Stella in those horrifying moments, and incredible bravery of her to come forward publicly.

We need more of the brave, everyday Minnesotans to speak to media and humanize the extraordinary nonviolent resistance they are performing.

I imagine this is already happening because y’all are doing all the things, but would progressive media trainers help folks on the ground feel more ready and willing to share their stories?

Hard to tell if it’s in his waistband or a holster, but the murdered man’s gun was pulled from his back side. He didn’t brandish it. He didn’t even take it out. They disarmed him then executed him.

If you're living somewhere outside the USA, one thing you can do is pressure your leaders to boycott World Cup and Olympic events here.

I saw that they did that. And Omar and a couple others tried to inspect a detention center. But A) that’s just the usual suspects (and god bless them); and B) I kind of meant out on the streets. My point was why don’t they use their ability to create conflict to bring more attention?

How the fuck have Members of Congress not decided to go to MPLS to bear witness (or “fact find”)? It’s baffling.

I have been actively involved in protest movements for 24 years. I have never seen anything approaching this scale. Minneapolis is not accepting what's happening here. ICE fucking murdered a woman for participating in this, and all that did is bring out more people, from more walks of life.
