one of Minnesota's top broadcasters in the 1980s/90s currently sits in a room in Maple Grove where the running water has been cut to the sinks

she doesnt have a phone, shes only allowed out with supervision

she has a TV that mostly stays off

3 meals/day are delivered

🧵1/? you used to go to the State Fair to see her on stage

just another person in the crowd watching her speak for 2 hrs straight on various topics w/o a mistake

she'd be a regular person on the drive down

and something else entirely on that stage when the little red dot lit up
