Naomi Kritzer writes a lot of very helpful opinion pieces about local politics in the twin cities. The linked article is about probably the most contested race. I'll post the other ones here in order to not spam the community.

The previous icon and banner got lost somehow, and I'm not sure what they were since I'm just starting mod duties now. Anyone have opinions on what we should put as the community icon and banner? I unimaginatively put the new Seal of Minnesota as the icon for now.

Post any ideas you've got below. Preferably stuff that's permissively licensed or public domain, or generally wouldn't be a hassle.

One such recent example of Hindutva propagation through art is “Parivaar: A celebration of Community as Family,” performed on February 18, 2024 at the Ordway Concert Hall — funded by Schubert Club Mix in St. Paul, Minnesota. The production brought the spotlight on to a troubling intersection of art and reactionary politics, a stark embodiment of willful artistic ignorance and ideological blindness in the South Asian diaspora.

The current icon and banner for this community are broken, is there an image it's supposed to be showing?

With a primary election less than two weeks away, U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders held a get-out-the-vote rally in Minneapolis for Rep. Ilhan Omar on Saturday. Just like in 2022, Omar is facing a challenge from former Minneapolis City Councilman Don Samuels.

Omar took the stage to chants of “Ilhan!” at Edison High School, her alma mater, to a big crowd of supporters and introduced the two-time presidential candidate who won Minnesota’s Democratic caucus in 2016. Sanders told the crowd they need to send Omar back to Congress.

“She is not only somebody who has and will take on enormously powerful special interests, but she is one of the toughest people that I know,” he said.
