I am a retired Registered Nurse. I remain active as a member of Minnesota Nurses Association.
I live by a quote of St. Augustine:
Hope has two daughters
—Anger, so that what should not be, will not be; Courage, so that what should be, will be.

Hard to take seriously the red-white-and-blue rhetoric of freedom on a 4th of July where the US president has cut off aid to a democracy fighting for its independence against ferocious attack by a foreign tyrant.

When we say we hold the powerful accountable, this is what we mean: the state will make a database of nearly 60,000 businesses getting tac rebates secret on June 30. So we compiled the data to keep it publicly available.
Lawmakers are attempting to hide who’s receiving $1.5B in tax refunds. We won’t let them • Tennessee Lookout
On June 30, the names of businesses that received over $1.5 billion in tax refunds -- like FedEx -- will disappear from Tennessee's website.

My Representative Pete Stauber got fed up with Five Calls so he closed several of his offices and only has the Hermantown office open. My last call was about rescission and the email I got said he was particularly proud of the foreign aid being eliminated that woke liberals had passed. Christian?

Arresting a 17-year-old on his way to volleyball practice, here since age 5, or a Missouri mom of three at a routine check-in after 20 years in the U.S.—this isn't justice, it's cruelty.
And, yes, ICE agents should be ashamed of themselves.

For years we've heard from the right about "welfare queens" and other so-called "freeloaders" pulling one over on the government.
But actually, it's the wealthy who are the real freeloaders — pulling one over on us all by skirting their taxes.
Where is the outrage over that?
