Walken: I’ve loved y’all from the beginning, thank you so much for your bravery, your awareness, your presence and connection to the twin cities especially, this place that I love so dearly. You help me know what is really going on in my home even when I can’t be there and for that I can’t thank you enough. 🖤🖤🖤

Carl S: Your existence is vital as it’s the only reporting treating the people on the streets fairly and not attempting to contextualize everything with a personal agenda. Thank you.

Natalie: You are a part of history, you are providing the truth and eye-witness accounts during a time where lies and fraudulence is running amok in the news/media. For as long as I live, I’ll never forget tuning into your livestream during the closing week of May, watching the 3rd precinct fall among fireworks and the victorious feeling that swept Minneapolis having torn down a massive symbol of tyrany with their bare hands. Thank you for all that you do, you are all so brave. Keep fighting, keep reporting, keep bringing the truth. Thank you, so so much.
