I'm all in for human rights. I also love libraries more than most people. Crochet and travel are my two other hobbies.

I just thought that tree looked really cool tonight and the night setting on the phone camera didn't disappoint.

Prayers will never be enough. Tonight at the Minnesota Twins game they placed 20 candles on home plate & held a moment of silence. That really moved me. I hope some day soon the gun people will realize that we can find common ground to reduce/end these tragedies.

Wow. Montana is beautiful. I feel so lucky to have seen this.

Just finished listening to One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This by Omar El Akkad (and read by the author). If you're looking for some perspective on the genocide in Palestine & how it relates to Western Liberalism look no further.

When you have to cut down a tree, don't have the stump ground out! The soil can't handle it. Can you guess where our trees were before we planted our native plant yard? Going forward we will leave the stump or leave a wildlife snag. (Look it up!) #naturalgardens

This spring we replaced our grass lawn with a native plants & grasses cover and the gardener we're working with is awesome. He was here today for our monthly visit and pointed out something new to me - a goldenrod gall fly bud. I did some reading on it today & it's fascinating! #naturalgardens

I am not feeling the 4th of July this year. It is hard to celebrate America while SCOTUS is honoring a convicted rapist as their king, letting him kidnap people, and build concentration camps. — Does anyone else feel this way?

The American people were lied to about Vietnam, with tragic consequences.

The American people are being lied to again today. We cannot allow history to repeat itself.

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

In 2016 MN Police killed a Black man named Philando Castile despite him disclosing he had a legal firearm.

Yesterday MN Police released a white woman named Jenny Boelter despite her car full of cash, firearms, & passports hours after her husband mass murdered people & was on the run from police.

💔 The assassination attempts on 2 politicians and their spouses are both heartbreaking and utterly predicatable. We have allowed right-wing extremism and gun fetishism to explode unchecked despite daily tragedies. 
This isn’t a Minnesota problem, it is an American problem and we MUST fight back.
The Trump Administration’s deluge of executive orders, federal layoffs, and discriminatory rhetoric is designed to be dizzying.

That’s why we’re monitoring their threats to public safety—which have real, life-threatening consequences for our communities. Learn more:

The Trump administration is advancing an extreme “guns everywhere” agenda with real consequences for our communities.

💚📣Huge thank you to all who came to the Save CDC rally and spoke out against the harm that RFKJ is doing to the health and safety of the American people.

We know what will happen if vaccine confidence continues to fall and access is restricted. We cannot stay silent
