Apparently I'm 3% Irish ... or Scot Irish ... or Scottish. 🤷♀️ Family story is Irish & since it's not that far back I tend to believe the stories I've been told -- even within the last 1 year or so. Just no one knows or remembers where in Ireland so knowing it's northeast someplace is something.

I was fortunate to see a live performance of this show still available on PBS. I *highly* recommend it ... especially on a day when we celebrate those who served in the military. Suggestion: have tissues on hand. It's all true.

Congratulations Carol Leonnig (my favorite reporter formerly of WAPO now with @msnbc.com ) & Aaron Davis on their new book "Injustice". I've heard a few interviews abt it. Sounds amazing. It's abt the DOJ during DT 1.0 and Garland under Biden. We'll have *TONS* of work to do to rebuild it. 😠☹️

I went to the least advertised protest in Tucson (Speedway/Country Club) which was starting at 8:30. By the time I got there at 8:00 it was already huge. And people just kept coming and coming.

I've got my tri-corner hat that a gentleman gave me at a protest in April ready to go!!! I've got an American flag (that I drew hearts on) ready to go; and my sign will simply say:
"CRUEL POLICY IS NOT LOVE"
Hope everyone has some fun tomorrow and that it's another peaceful, joyful protest day!
