The deputy White House chief of staff, Stephen Miller, called Pretti a “domestic terrorist” and an “assassin.” In fact, Pretti was a registered nurse working in intensive care at a Department of Veterans Affairs hospital.
This is who he really was.

Snow geese swarm at the Loess Bluffs National Wildlife Refuge near Mound City, MO. A welcome distraction from human troubles. #wildlife
At least your college games weren't held at Clyde Williams Field. 🫤
We were able to see the northern lights here in NE Kansas. Drove out of town to get a good shot, but could see them in town above the Missouri River. Using a phone camera helps bring the colors out. #northernlights
Spirited crowd at the Legends in Wyandotte County, Kansas (KCK). It was moving and for a little while, gave me hope.
#nokings
Good crowd!
That's what I'm thinking!
It's aster time! I have never seen so many monarchs, bumble bees and other pollinators in my yard. I had 6 monarchs on my New England aster at one time! Maybe they are on their migration. Anyway, shows how important late season natives are. 🌱 #nativeplants, #pollinators
Same. Had the swamps at my last house and there were so many. Can't get the swamps to grow in my new, drier, yard.
Finally, I got a monarch cat on common milkweed. First time in 3 years. 🌱 #nativeplants #pollinators #pixel7pro
Same. I just sewed a top and avoided my hubs, the Hawkeye fan.
And I'm glad it's not a player!
Sadly, it's mine. Got a red cast at KU med, put on by a Kstate tech with my embellishments.
A buckeye butterfly feeds on my late season liatris. I can't remember what I planted, but I think it's aspera. 🌱 #nativeplants
Ya, while being informative, this makes me sad.

Inter-species kerfuffle: behind the eastern tiger swallowtail is a monarch battling for the same zinnia. After a brief dust up in the air, they took turns feeding on the flower. 🌱#pollinators
A fritillary of some kind feeds on my Red Whisker Clammyweed, Polanisia dodecandra, on a hot Kansas day. This is my first time planting clammyweed. It's an annual but I have the feeling I'll be seeing it for years to come. 🌱 #nativeplants #pollinators
A tale of two vibes.
I feel this guy's pain. 😅
On the shores of beautiful Lake Superior, Algoma District, Ontario. ❤️

This just totally breaks my heart. 💔
Cool! We just finished One of Ours which I liked better than I thought I would. Was especially interested after visiting the WWI museum in KC.
Love Willa Cather. A couple of former co-workers and I have a little Willa book club. We also visited her home site in Red Cloud, NE.
Nice! The birds are already eating the seeds of some of mine. That's the kind of wildlife I want to attract.
Looks like a baby? How can something so little be so destructive!
So sorry. I only have any because I used (green) chicken wire to protect them. The green wire makes it look a little less stupid.
