Last day with Franklin 💙🐾

Always

Picked a good weekend to dog-sit Franklin. #bestboy #emotionalsuppport

Yay! I need some good escape tv

Good morning to the men who are leaning in during the conversations with their wives, girlfriends, sisters, mothers, daughters, friends this week…and grateful to have my husband as an ally 💗

❄️ Snow day #2 Before any gets envious…no work = no pay for this Title 1 funded teacher 😬 Drowning my sorrows in a cappuccino from my favorite local spot ☺️

❄️ Snow day…tea day. Thinking of my pal @chefarchiepie.bsky.social whilst sipping this cuppa Yorkshire ☺️

A view from last night ❄️

Welp 😬 www.cnn.com/weather/live...

If you don't know American figure skating Olympic gold medalist Alysa Liu's backstory, this is a pretty good 2 minute summary.

These photos of gold medalist Alysa Liu are fantastic. Her skating routine was impeccable. Love her gold dress and her exhuberance. #Olympics

Right-wing Heritage Foundation’s own data shows fewer than 100 noncitizens voted since 1982 (!!!) This is not a real problem. “The SAVE ACT is a Trojan horse to nationalize elections”: open.substack.com/pub/thiswill...

Had the youngest over last night to celebrate his birthday. Made one of his favorites…Peperonata Sauce with Sausage over rigatoni.

Republicans are still trying to pass the SAVE Act—a bill that would make it harder to vote and disenfranchise millions of Americans. Join @redistrictingaction.org and tell your member of Congress to vote no: act.redistrictingaction.org/a/natl-saveact-cte

Yes please 😋💕

Finally Friday…

I’m not sure we’ve properly addressed how profoundly disturbing it is that America can largely shrug at the stashing of human beings in giant warehouses.

Had to try and do my version the Pork Dumpling Lasagna I’ve been seeing everywhere. Still needs a few tweaks, but super delish.

Noooo 😞

Maybe DOJ should focus on the law it’s violating, the Epstein Files Transparency Act, instead of speculating a crime might have been committed (despite multiple ballot recounts) in Fulton County or declining to investigate two homicides in Minneapolis?

🥶🥶🥶

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

One of the best things I’ve read in a while:

Minnesota is the best of us.

Enough! No! What are we doing here?!?

The first thing Virginia Spanberger did after being sworn in as Governor of Virginia was repeal Youngkin’s executive order requiring state and local law enforcement to cooperate with ICE. This is the kind of leadership Democratic governors nationwide should be emulating.

every single successful general strike in US history has had union backing through the local AFL-CIO this is the first time it’s been called for since the 1940s

McBride: Look, people are clutching their pearls at this guy yelling something at the president. They are more offended by a worker standing up to the president and calling him out for his hypocrisy than they are by the president trying to cover up for a human trafficking ring

Yep 😬

Post walk caffeinating

Game day 🦅

This is stunning. Listen to this in Philadelphia. Thousands singing “Hey-Oh, we won’t be silent while our friends are gunned down.” Really listen to it.

Stand up

The Norwegian Nobel Prize committee has been forced to make a statement, declaring that the prize cannot be transferred. It's hard even to comprehend how stupid this has become

Treating myself today, because “gesturing wildly”. #teacher #selfcare

Honestly, the rest of the world is watching to see how we Americans deal with a fascist takeover of our government and whether we resist tyranny when it's standing on our lawn breaking down our door and killing our fellow citizens in the streets. What did Hamilton write about tyranny?

I wish we had been taught how to fight a tyrannical government back in civics class.

Last night sunset in Minnesota after losing one of its own. Her last name says it all …. RIP Renee Nicole Good. #Photography #Photographer #BlueSkyArt #EastCoastKin #Sunset #Minnesota

WITNESS: "I just can't let this narrative of self-defense go any further. That’s absolutely not what it was… ICE agents didn’t let anyone help her for 15 minutes, then medics couldn’t get through with their ambulance.”

🚮😤

Need to try this 😋💕
