A Weekend of Hope, and a Minnesota Hit List

No Kings Day showed who we are. Minnesota revealed what we’re up against. The next move is ours.

On this episode, Olivia Troye unpacks the horrifying events in Minnesota that turned a weekend of peaceful protest into a moment of national reckoning. While millions marched in No Kings Day rallies across the country to reject authoritarianism, a far-right extremist assassinated former State House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband, and critically wounded Senator John Hoffman and his wife. Olivia connects the dots between this tragedy and a broader pattern of political violence, fueled by white supremacy, radicalization, and silence from our leaders.

She asks the question that matters most now: what will the rest of us do?

This episode is a call to conscience—for Democrats, Republicans, and every American who still believes in democracy.

Kicking off my podcast/audio series of my work as requested by many of you. I know people take in information in different ways so thank you for the feedback. Work in progress!
