I may have a stroke.
Someone said protests don’t belong in church and it took every ounce of self-censure within me not to say “Deborah you are literally a Protestant.”
A PROTESTant.
I assume they think Luther was nailing Bed, Bath, & Beyond coupons to the door.

We must be in competition season. Or he has an audition coming up. IDK, but there is so much 🎶🎻
I know there will be a time when I miss this, but it is hard to fall asleep with a kid practicing cello in the next room.

Mama bears are mad! We will not stand for our communities, neighbors, friends, families, & CHILDREN being terrorized, imprisoned, & worse. Melt ICE now. Call your senators, demand they vote to defund DHS, & impeach those responsible for these atrocities. 5Calls.org is a great way to get started!

You guys, my kid had to enter 40 email addresses into a school fundraising platform. He didn't want to spam his friends and family with donation requests, so he found a law firm in Colorado and entered every one of the lawyers' addresses.

A few things I did that helped me feel less helpless:
✅ Called my reps
✅ Made a donation to standwithminnesota.com
✅ Asked two friends to call their reps
✅ Spent time with family
✅ Donated an auction item to Publishing for Minnesota (🔗 in comments)
✅ Thanked a neighbor for being a good neighbor
