Frey: "I think the initial impetus to come to MN was to arrest & deport a bunch of Somali people. They got here & realized the Somali people that would be deported are all citizens. Then they turned their ire toward our Latino community & others. These are communities that make Mpls a better place."

Vigil for Renee Good here in front of Wisconsin’s capitol building right now:

I didn't know Sammy Davis Jr. appeared on One Life to Live as a conman named Chip Warren and he had a story with Asa. Wish I could find some clips. Great pic of Sammy with Ellen Holly and Al Freeman Jr. #oltl

I invite all Americans to join Minnesota in a day of unity tomorrow.

Back to soaps Finally made it to the Christmas episodes of #days. The crypt story with Peter Blake Buchanan is over. Whew. The bones are Stefano's & Stefan's dead (why?). Theo's unconscious (Abe was right) & Chad reunites with Thomas & Charlotte. Aww. Jada & Rafe are looking cozy together. 🤔

Caught up on #BeyondTheGates through the Christmas episode. I loved Nicole & Carlton's winter picnic by the fire. So romantic. 🥰 Anita has breast cancer. 😔 This story is heartbreaking, but so well written and Tamara Tunie is doing an outstanding job. Those scenes with Tamara & Clifton. 👏🏾 #BTG

Listening to the radio while driving today & the host starts talking about #BeyondTheGates & Gold Chain Ted! The host, Jeff Fox played a snippet of his interview with Keith D. Robinson. They talked about music & how popular #BTG and Ted are. Kinda cool to hear BTG get a shout-out on the radio. 📻

Mike Tomlin has clinched a 19th consecutive non-losing season with Sunday’s win over the Lions, the 200th of his Steelers career. The streak lives on — as Pittsburgh survives in dramatic fashion.

The end of this Steelers-Lions game. 🖥 🍿 🏈 😲

Thank you for posting. So Port Charles is the fictional version of Rochester. Interesting. I ❤️ the pink Cadillac. I guess Luke and Laura are standing at Robin's bridge. I wish we still had location shoots today. #GH

A brief in memoriam for #TristanTuesday Robert + Luke first and last scenes #GH 1980 / 2013 youtu.be/yDsIeTd7ejE?... #RIPTonyGeary

Hard to put into words what #AnthonyGeary meant to so many people. I can confidently say that, IMHO, Tony was one of the best American actors. Full stop. When I started #GH in 1992 he welcomed me with open arms. Today my ❤️ is with Genie, Kin, Lynn, Jonathan, and Claudio. R.I.P. #generalhospital

The first time I heard this song was on "General Hospital" Luke & Holly Rest easy, Anthony Geary 🕊💙 James Ingram 🕊 Patti Austin 💙

We keep losing the people who helped build General Hospital: Jackie Zeman, Tristan Rogers, Leslie, Sonya Eddy, and now this. It makes me sad. #GH

We Gen X GH fans lost Luke Spencer & Robert Scorpio in the same year. #GH Rest easy, Anthony Geary & Tristan Rogers 🕊🕊

😢 RIP Tony Geary 💙🕊

This is heartbreaking. The Tony I remember best. What a force and a talent #GH

Caught up on #BeyondTheGates. Dr. Kial has Nicole moaning & sashaying at work. 🤭 Dani & Kat. 🫶🏾 I wasn't expecting Hayley to slap Bill to wake him up, lol. Martin defended Kat to Ted & then apologized to her. Good. Ashley & Derek are exhausting. Naomi & Jacob's date night was cute. 🥰 #BTG
