As a 45+ year resident of Minnesota I grieve for the family and young son left behind by the execution of Renee Good at the hands of ICE. To see MAGA twist the narrative is surreal. We’re in a really bad spot. Fuck Trump. Fuck ICE. We will defeat your cruelty. #DefendersOfDemocracy #DV1

The problem is not the pardon power. The problem is us. We weren't supposed to elect a crook as POTUS. If we did, the people we elected in Congress are supposed to do something about it. We're idiots, so we've elected crooks & cowards all the way up the line. The problem is us. We need to fix us.

I don’t know how I’m just now seeing this. It’s a couple of years old and I’ve watched a lot of TED Talks. But she was on Maddow tonight so I googled her and found it. This is hands down the best talk I’ve seen. Profiles in courage right here. ✊ #nadyatolokonnikova #pussyriot #resist #nokings

Saw a talking head for Trump on CNN trying to convince me the economy is good. “We’re having a record-breaking Black Friday,” he said. 🤔 Didn’t pass the smell test in my house, but I thought maybe (?), googled it & Reuters says browsing is breaking records but spending is down. SMH 😏 #blackfriday

Burns' six-part documentary uses voiceover, reenactors and drone footage to tell the story of America's founding. And it reminds viewers that the quest for a more perfect union is far from over.

I know, weird, right?

If our island had a monument scribed “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free”, I would be ashamed enough to remove it until that invitation once agin means something worth while

No Kings Richmond. My people. What a great day!!! #nokings #richmond #rva #grantifa

Picked up my preordered Rog Xbox Ally X today! Doing the set up now. Can’t wait to try it out! First impression - great ergonomic grips. Feels substantial, but not too heavy. Super excited! 🤙 #videogames #gamer #xbox #rogxboxallyx #rog #gaming

The office manager run a tight ship. Saw me looking at my phone. #cat #catsofbluesky #wfh #micromanager

My ZenGrip2 arrived! Finally! Totally worth the wait! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #zengrip2 #satisfye #nintendo #switch2 #gaming

I voted early in the Virginia Governor’s race. So hopeful. Just so hopeful. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 🌊🌊🌊 #virginia #spanberger

Look. If you’re a true WNBA fan I don’t care who you’re rooting for - or how you feel about the new fan base - this Fever team. Damn. This Fever team is unbelievably resilient. You gotta give ‘em that. 🏀🔥 #wnba #fever

The view from our office in war-ravaged Portland today

Sto imparando l’italiano! 😃🇮🇹

"Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that." Looking forward to seeing Jimmy back on the air.

Beautiful visitors today! 😍🥰 #birds #birdsky #garden

I adored this book! The characters were wonderful. The writing was grand, especially the dialogue! I could not put it down. I can’t wait to start the 2nd in the series. I don’t understand the 3.8 rating from GoodReads. 🤷‍♀️ I loved it! Thumbs up! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #booksky #books #reading #mysteries

My squirrel buddy came back for breakfast. Seems s/he is a regular now. Some folks try to run them off, but I don’t get it 🤷‍♀️ There’s plenty for the birds, too (thankfully). I’m just happy to make his/her life a little better today. Happy to see him and happy to help. ✌🏻💕 #garden #birds #squirrels

Exotic birds at the feeder today! 💕 #birds #birdsky #squirrels

Beautiful bumblebees all over my Roses of Sharon. I love it! 🥰 🐝 #garden

Pulling for the Fever in tonight’s game, but repping LA because I’m just a solid WNBA fan and, hey LA, I’m with you in spirit! ✊✌️ #WNBA #LA

The New York Liberty remain undefeated! We had such a great time at the game last night in DC. Cloud and Ionescu stayed after to spend some time with the fans. They were so patient and kind and gracious. Absolutely made my summer! 🗽💕 #Cloud9 #NatashaCloud #WNBA #NYL #NewYorkLiberty #Basketball

I admit that feel a little guilty for being excited about this with all that’s going on in the world. Sheepish to post. But I AM excited and we DO have to have a little fun when we can. So this was my view at MN last night. Oh boy! 🎉 #nintendoswitch2 #nintendo #switch2

If you burn down a forest, you don't miss out on lumber for just that season. You have to replant all the trees, nurture them, and wait for them to grow. The science and research budget cuts happening now are wanton, senseless arson. Recovery, if it ever happens, will take generations.

💕💕💕

I LOVE this! #WNBA #basketball #Nike #A’jaWilson

Got a new mug ‘cause yeah. My sweet doggo and my precious kitty cat make life so much better. 💕 #dogsofbluesky #dogsky #dogs #thankful

This is my 2nd book in the Mags Munroe series by Jean Granger. It’s an entertaining, light read with like-able characters. I’d call it a “cozy mystery”. It’s set in Ireland. I jumped over after reading a Tana French novel. I guess I’m smitten with the setting. Recommend. #BookSky

Zoomed in via my partner’s office window. Life goes on. And there is hope. 🐣💕

Lilies popping through! 🌱

Readyourcolor.com is a site that gives you a quiz to determine your reading type. Then it makes suggestions accordingly. The idea is to give you some insight to help break reading slumps & more easily pick books you’ll enjoy. The results seems accurate & helpful to me. Guess I’m a purple. #booksky 📚

The birds are tweeting. The flowers are blooming and spring is springing. Life goes on. 🐣🐥🥰🤗

This is Walter. And this is Walter’s “couch”. It’s a hammock bed with a memory foam pad & a blanket on top. We pull it into the sun or shade depending. He runs around the yard & then rests here for a while & then runs around again, etc. all day. Love this baby so much. 💕 #dogs #dog #dogsofbluesky

Spring may be here after all! I see daffodils popping through! 🌼 #spring #garden

This one was fun. Lots of bright colors! 🧩

Love the “shelfie” feature on Fable! Fun. #booksky 📚
