A few links

I'm completely at a loss for words. While I'm coaxing some of them out from under the couch, here are a few useful links, both for helping people affected by the arson and looting, and for getting along in the Twin Cities while disruption reighs.

Here is a link to a fundraiser for North Minneapolis. That area got hit as hard as Lake Street, but they aren't getting nearly so many donations.

There's a start, anyway.
