I am a photo rescuer and founder of the Facebook Group "Forgotten Faces, Forgotten Places". Our goal is to return photos, that we rescue, to family. I'm also a crocheter, making lapghans for Oaklawn Hospice. And I am a family historian/genealogist.

The truth here is so ever relevant, is so simple and profound. I think I might pop it into my next book. Sharing yet again:

Along with the whole Traverse City community, Chasten and I are shaken by the awful and senseless violence at Walmart earlier today. We’re thinking of everyone affected and hoping and praying for speedy recovery for all those who were injured.

Eleven people were injured in a “random” stabbing by a suspect man with a folding knife-style weapon at a Walmart in Traverse City, Michigan, Saturday, according to the Grand Traverse County sheriff.

On this date in 1776 the statue of King George III was pulled down in New York City.

Because America didn't want a king who lived above the law.

The people who lost children and other loved ones in the Texas floods are owed honest answers from officials. They should be told why flash flood warnings issued hours earlier were not conveyed to people in the path of the water. They don’t need more prayers from politicians. They need answers.

You wouldn’t vacation in Dachau in 1935. Don’t vacation in Florida in 2025.
We’re calling for a Florida boycott over the inhumane “Alligator Alcatraz” detention site. Cancel your family vacation and choose a different destination this summer.

My Saturday PSA:

Joe Biden isn’t the president anymore.

Instead, we’ve got a mentally deranged and ethically compromised old man with the nuclear codes trespassing in the Oval Office.

Stop talking about Joe Biden.

Start talking about the Convicted Felon, Donald Trump.

Sadly, you have that exactly right.
The GOP wanted to impeach Biden for a fake $5M bribe from Ukraine that was made up by a guy sitting in prison for lying about it, but they’re cool with a $400M plane from Qatar. Do I have that right?

The gift is bad enough on its own, but can we talk about how insane it is to use a foreign-gifted jet as *Air Force One*

Air Force One has a lot of capability that a luxury jet simply doesn’t, and that’s before we even consider the obvious spying/bugging/security concerns.

Just curious, what’s the tariff on a $400 million jet from Qatar?

Sending best wishes to my esteemed friend @durbin.senate.gov. He’s a constitutional patriot and a stalwart in the fight to defend strong democracy and freedom. We’ll keep working together in the 119th Congress and beyond.
The decision of whether to run for re-election has not been easy. I truly love the job of being a United States Senator.

But in my heart, I know it’s time to pass the torch.

So, I am announcing today that I will not be seeking re-election at the end of my term.

Governor JB Pritzker just announced that Illinois will be defunding investments in companies controlled by El Salvador to punish the country for holding American residents without due process.

They fired Navy Vice Admiral Shoshana Chatfield—not because she couldn’t do the job, but because she wouldn’t hang up pictures of Trump and Hegseth. This ain’t about merit—it’s about ego.

Conservative media has targeted Navy Vice Admiral Shoshana Chatfield for comments she made about diversity.
