Retired public servant. Forever Democrat. My garden is a registered habitat for our wild friends and I raise mason bees. We must take care of this pale blue dot we live on as we are in the fight of our lives for our country and planet.

No Kings!!

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

"He's going to finally give a direct order for paratroopers to deploy into the streets..." Mark Esper Trump's former Secretary of Defense called it. Killing protesters was always DJTs wet dream.

I respond to some so-called Second Amendment defenders who are justifying the shooting of Alex. The Second Amendment protects citizens from the state—it does not give the state a license to kill. (Link to full video)

President Donald Trump will not be attending Super Bowl LX on Feb. 8 in Santa Clara, Calif., he said in an interview with the New York Post.

“It’s just too far away,” he said.

Perfectly stated by President @billclinton.bsky.social.

"If we give our freedoms away after 250 years, we might never get them back.

"It is up to all of us who believe in the promise of American democracy to stand up, speak out, and show that our nation still belongs to We the People."
BILL CLINTON: "Over the course of a lifetime, we face only a few moments where the decisions we make and the actions we take will shape our history for years to come. This is one of them. If we give our freedoms away after 250 years, we might never get them back."

Walz on Bondi's demands for voter rolls: "This is Donald Trump telling everybody that the election was rigged, who started this nightmare for America. Pro tip to the AG: There's two million documents in the Epstein files we're still waiting on. Go ahead and work on those."

“They are using the mechanism of armed officers with masks who are killing citizens to create disruption so they can use more force to eliminate the possibility they could be removed from office and suffer criminal sanctions for the crimes they are now committing”

Secretary Noem has forfeited her right to lead. I’m calling on her to resign.

Gregory Bovino must also be fired.

No one, not an ICE agent, not a federal officer, not a president, is above the law.

If it is fascism now it was fascism then but if you were wrong no need to pause to make a special effort to admit your error -- we don't have that much time now, please act right away, get organized, and then tell your followers what you are doing to stop fascism and what they too can do.

This morning, I recorded a video on TikTok about why DHS’s arguments for the power to enter homes without judicial warrants in immigration cases are bunk.

Nine hours later, TikTok still says my video is “under review,” and can’t be shared.

Well, here’s a link:

And, tonight, the network's flagship news program -- 60 Minutes -- ran a clip show of old celeb interviews to "celebrate the movies" rather than put together an episode focused on what's going on in Minnesota.
The person who publishes the Free Press — where the words “Minneapolis” and “Minnesota” never appear tonight — also runs CBS News.

AOC: "In directing this around Mayor Wray and Gov. Walz, claiming they are 'inciting,' Noem is equating disagreement with incitement ... she is laying the groundwork for the Insurrection Act ... they are taking issue with the people of Minnesota who have duly elected their own elected officials"
