Brickner: Dina Butcher offers an important historical perspective
Dina Butcher has lived long enough to recognize the warning signs. A conservative and a grandmother, she co-founded North Dakota’s “BadAss Grandmas” not out of rebellion, but memory—her father survived a Nazi prison; other relatives did not. When she sees political rhetoric turning cruel, or laws targeting the vulnerable, she doesn’t stay quiet. She organizes. Her story is a reminder that history’s darkest chapters don’t just repeat—they reemerge quietly, unless we step forward and say: not this time. Joan Brickner with InForum has the full story on someone you should know and a perspective worth hearing.
