If I am killed doing this, throw my body at the White House, martyr the shit out of me and raise hell. Do not be sad. Do not think I would do anything differently. I would do it over and over again — this is too important to sit down and shut up and not do anything.
Big Minnesota energy.
The miscalculation they made here: There are no strangers in Minnesota. Only neighbors you’ve never met.
This has been a reason and opportunity to meet many more of them.
And we are made better and stronger by it.
Dara, inside the economic blockade
What do you know about cities inside economic blockades? I know about the Prussian siege of Paris, when the trapped Parisians had to eat their zoo elephants. I know about the Dutch Hunger Winter, when the Nazis were, as ever, acting like Nazis and starving babies and everyone.

We may be tough, but there’s an enormous cost.

No matter how many more armed men Trump sends to impose his will on the people of Minnesota, all he can do is accentuate their valor. No application of armed violence can make the men with guns as heroic as the people who choose to stand in their path with empty hands in defense of their neighbors.
This. So much this.

Regular readers of this blog will know that I am a fan of self-publishing (for two main reasons: control over your MS and short time to market). Such readers will also know that I believe your book needs to be delivered with perfect text i.e. error free. Many readers have written to ask about my approach to ensuring errors are close to zero. Tomorrow we’ll look at that but first it’s useful to understand a little terminology as there are different levels of editing or preparation
