I wanted to share probably the most important sermon I’ve given and it’s while I’m being arrested. It’s torture pure and simple what happens at #Broadview. I’m ok, though I was thrown to the ground and choked with my pectoral cross. A review of the video shows I was peaceful - did I deserve this?

All the sailors on the Edmund Fitzgerald are named by Lake Superior today. Karl A. Peckol was the same age as me.

That depends on what you mean by ‘red line’ - my red line before I do what? I’ll follow back up with this one at the end of the session to answer it!

Oh, dear, a Nobel Prize thumb in the eye to Trump. He and his Secretary of War and Good Grooming Hegseth are trying to violently overthrow Maduro and the Committee is honouring a woman working for a "peaceful transition" to democracy.

someday a historian will begin their history of the Trump era with the Trump Tower escalator descent and finish it with the stalled UN escalator ascent and they will be so pleased with that neat little bookended narrative encapsulation and anyway release the Epstein files

Happy Autumnal Equinox - today at 1:19 p.m. CDT in the Northern Hemisphere. It’s a Holiday for all of us! 🌞🌛⭐️🌏

If Dennis Hastert, Roy Moore, Jim Jordan, Matt Gaetz and Donald Trump had all been Democrats, the party would've been hounded out of existence.

I was kissed by Don Ho on Waikiki in 1995.

If you don’t follow Michael Goldfarb’s podcast, you really should. I learn something from every episode. I learned about Erdogan’s vulnerability in this one.

Lutefisk Lament by Boone & Erickson. Sure, it’s completely corny and it spoke to a part of my tiny rural Norwegian Lutheran culture more than anything I’d ever heard on radio before. youtu.be/JfkXOBfBPVs

Uh oh, JD Vance.

Lindsey’s drunk.

We occasionally get stray cats showing up at our farm, especially in the spring when males are looking for a girlfriend. They won’t have much luck here since we spay and neuter all our kitties. Dennis is pictured here when he arrived two months ago. The second picture was taken today.

This would be great. Doubt it will happen.

Any recommendations for a good weather podcast?

Listen to this podcast. I learned a lot!

Five years ago, right about this time, my husband and I were considering who would inherit our retirement funds and farm if we died from covid. Today we are concerned that we will outlive our estate.

“Last Dem prez to appoint a chief justice was Harry Truman 1946.” 😳

Hands Off - Northfield, Minnesota.

If you don’t follow GMC you really should.

The stages in MAGA responding to a negative story: 1: It's all lies 2: Most of it is lies 3: Some of it's true, but it doesn't matter 4. It's all true, but it's fine when we do it 5. F**k you

Please 🙏 Donald Trump, Pete Hegseth, Mike Waltz keep the nuclear codes off social media. Just asking for a small favor.🚀

Three good podcast episodes I have listened to today: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/p... podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/f... podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/k...

Today it was an honor to meet and shake hands with Governor Tim Walz to hear him talk about the hardship the tariffs will be for crop farmers (like Lars and me).

If you were a Russian spy, there isn't anything you'd want Trump to do differently so far.

Unless you are Indigenous, Black, Hispanic, Asian, Female, Veteran, Poor, Disabled, Queer, etc., the experience of your country stabbing you in the back may be new to you. Get used to it.

Repeat after me: TARIFFS ARE TAXES *AMERICAN IMPORTERS* PAY ON IMPORTED GOODS. THOSE COSTS ARE HEAVILY PASSED ON TO CONSUMERS.

I learned a lot from this 30 minute podcast. You can, too.
