Great column as usual. Your 10-point Plan is exactly what this country needs. Especially like the idea of governors working together and protecting their state's independence.
Hotel boycotts are tough. I say that from 50 years on the meeting side of hospitality. Yes, clients with which I worked carefully monitored actions and policies and did their best to avoid booking some brands or ownership because they were not in sync with the group. For casual and even many biz travelers, the name on the door may not reflect the brand which is, in the MN case, or the owner. My former (retd 12/2024) industry pushes back heavily on boycotts. That said: check before you reserve to learn under what brand the hotel operates and who owns the hotel itself. Then too check the owners’ record of political support. This is a time to do all we can. Thanks to the Steves.
That 10 point plan is solid. Forward, onward, united we stand.
Agreed!
Powerful essay today! Kudos to two Steves for this cogent plan to rescue our democracy.
ICE may think we are frightened mice but brains over brawn gives us a good headstart.

Power in numbers, videos taken, and in voices heard.
Great 10-point plan!
