## Resource

Small but mighty, the Minnesota Reformer continues to deliver some of the best Operation Metro Surge coverage in the state. We're fans, we suspect you're fans, so we figured: Let's get reporters Madison McVan and Max Nesterak on the pod to discuss their ongoing coverage of the federal invasion.  Here's a link  to Max's big feature story;  here's a link  to Madison's piece about ICE resistance going mainstream. But before any of that, our own small/mighty crew engaged in a spirited round of What I Learned in Racket. Here's what we learned... They Asked for Donations to Buy $10 Burritos. They Raised More Than $10K.
