Hey folks,
I just went live with Minnesota’s Lieutenant Governor—and U.S. Senate candidate—Peggy Flanagan, and this one is a must-watch. We covered ICE’s escalation in cities like Chicago, Columbus Day gaslighting, and how faith and organizing show up in real life. If you care about dignity, democracy, and actually improving people’s lives, don’t miss this.
[00:01:37] Peggy on how Paul Wellstone pulled her into politics—and why that grassroots legacy still drives her.
[00:13:39] We break down ICE’s masked raids in Chicago, the fear they’re sowing at schools and churches, and what Democrats have to say and do now.
[00:26:26] Faith, values, and politics: reframing what “pro-life” really means—opposing cruelty at the border and the death penalty alike.
[00:29:10] Indigenous Peoples Day > Columbus Day: Peggy on Native visibility today, not nostalgia—and why Trump’s Columbus trolling misses the point.
[00:45:19] The bigger vision: Medicare for All, a real housing ladder (from homelessness to first-time homebuyers), and a wage floor that reflects reality.
With urgency,
—Mike
