What bittersweet enlightenment!
Dear Tessa Hulls: I just completed your beautiful Pulitzer Prize-winning memoir, "FEEDING GHOSTS." It took me awhile, it was that harrowing! Thank you for raising vital issues to consider over the next several months. What a gift!

A Father's Day salute to my Dad, who served our country proudly during WW2, and made huge sacrifices to insure the safety of our family for generations. This was a studio shot, taken for Mom to keep with her, from their dating days πŸ₯°.

The one thing to take away from today: there are more of us than there are of them. Solidarity makes us stronger.

Protest signs held high at a rally today. The central one is hand-letterd, saying "Melissa Hortman Loved Democracy, and So Do I"

No Kings protests against Trump launch nationwide to coincide with military parade The coalition of organizations behind the protests say the parade is being fueled by Trump's ego. The parade, which is not formally linked to Trump, will mark the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army.

Let’s not mince words on exactly what the MAGA movement is.

It really says something that Minnesota still showed out like this even with their lives under threat, with a politically motivated killer who reportedly had materials relates to this event in his vehicle.

Incredible state and incredible people.
