• Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants
• Blue State Minnesota has 130,000.
And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration."

How it’s going with the new puppy:
Oona was being too quiet. This is her uh-oh face. That’s two balls of yarn and a partial scarf.
Good girl.
(Apologies for the blurry photo - I was laughing but also wanted to get her out of it quickly)

Not my usual topic, but my spouse’s great-grandmother (Vera Bacal) was a very big deal in NY fashion in the 50s and 60s. She might be mentioned in here.

Let's make the world more like this:
If you love, love everyone.
If you stand against hate, stand against all hate.
If you reject violence, reject all violence.
Open your heart and fill it with kindness and empathy for other people's suffering year-round.
I stand against antisemitism. Do you?
