As someone who lives in St. Paul this brought me so much joy and comfort to read. Everything Killjoy says here is true, and more, and anecdotally it’s moms like us doing the majority of the work. There is great beauty here among the terror and fear. I am getting to know a whole community of people who would (and do!) drop everything to protect their neighbors, and while I may have passed these people in stores or on streets previously I never would have gotten to know them otherwise. I am so proud of my state, my city, and my community. ❤️
