How a Minneapolis man became “Dissident Dad” in the face of ICE’s blitz
For Twin Cities residents like Kevin Dolder, who has lived in the area for a decade, the upheaval is just the latest trauma to hit Minneapolis and St. Paul, which also witnessed and protested the murders of Philando Castile and George Floyd in the last 10 years.
That’s why Dolder, a father of two, refuses to be silent—both in calling out injustice and creating the community he wants for himself and his family—not matter what it costs.
The Fine Print: Why community can beat chaos
You’re allowed to have things be new to you—like any student in class. You’re allowed to see this as new, and to learn and to grow. However, once you realize something is new to you, you have to acknowledge that it’s not new to everyone.

The Fine Print: Empathy, memory, and the work of democracy
In a world where we ask technology to think for us—where time is money and everything has a price—we don’t just sacrifice knowledge. We also forfeit our capacity for empathy: our ability to understand and share the perspectives of others, and to think not just for our own good, but for the good of those around us.
