We picked up our son Danny's repaired guitar—THIS guitar—yesterday.
Marjory bought this guitar 47 years ago, passed it on to her son Michael some time ago, & before Michael died, he gave it back to his Mom.
She then gave it to Danny, & he loves it.

War Between the States 2026? That's what the Trump Administration wants—for their own reasons—but what they're gonna get is personalized legal prosecution.
If we can't rely on classical "checks & balances," it's once again up to the judicial to deal with.

Public execution of a kind, caring man, a VA ICU nurse, ruthlessly beaten, pistol-whipped, murdered in cold blood on a Minneapolis street by ICE, then murdered anew by the vile instant reaction of gov't officials Noem, Bovino, then Trump openly lying about Alex Pretti.

THIS is who our gov't wants us to believe is a "domestic terrorist." This kind, caring, thoughtful man.
My initial tearful shock seeing the first 2 street videos was amplified by instantaneous LIES Noem & Bovino posted as "official" reaction—murdering Alex Pretti anew with LIES.

The people who spent years defending and even lionizing Kyle Rittenhouse and Ashli Babbitt now want us to believe that an unarmed mother in her car and a disarmed nurse were domestic terrorists who deserved to be murdered by law enforcement.

ICE is KILLING us, one-by-one, & I'm not talking about winter.
In October, ICE grabbed Maher Tarabishi.
He was a 24/7 caregiver for his disabled son Wael.
At the time of Maher’s detention, disability advocates warned that taking away Wael’s caregiver put his life at risk.
Wael died on Friday at age 30.
ICE caused his death.
They didn’t get to say goodbye.

Disabled son of ICE detainee dies after 30 days of hospitalization
It had been months since Wael Tarabishi seen his father. The family is calling on ICE to release Maher Tarabishi so he may attend his son's funeral.

TikTok is now under US ownership and their new ToS reads like a guide to giving fascists everything they need to put you on a list.
They’re collecting information about immigration status, citizenship, sexual orientation, whether you’re trans or non binary and physical or mental disabilities.
