Gayle King's defense of Jeff Bezos is so far off base. Her idea of space exploration making life better on Earth is that we send our garbage to space? How about we figure out how to make less of it? The arrogance and entitlement is astounding.

Ok - here's my quick video for visual learners on how I pack for a protest.
I skipped the "what I'm wearing" part. It's Minnesota, people. Layers. Better to be warm than cold. It will be dry tomorrow - yay!

Just bringing some joy into your lives. This is Koala. She’s almost 10 weeks old. We’ll have her until 18 months and then she goes off to service dog training and hopefully gets placed with someone who needs her!

@smith.senate.gov and @amyklobuchar.com can you explain your vote on the NDAA and its inclusion of an anti-trans provision? We have few guardrails and not even allowing an amendment to remove it is a strong capitulation to the GOP and the harm they intend. Cute (old) kid pic for visibility.

So I guess I'm supposed to do something on this app. So here goes. We've started monthly soup nights at our house - anyone is welcome. Just bring drinks and we'll cover the rest. Expect to be cared for, be in community, and eventually be organized into spaces where you can actually effect change...
