I've lived in Minnesota for decades now, but every time this yearly ritual comes around, I remember I'm not a real Minnesotan. (and yes, that really is a giant block of butter)

It's storming outside, and alas, the trazadone and thunder shirt don't seem to be helping. 😔

It was just one action on one bridge, but I'd like to think it gave some people hope on a dark, dark day. 👊✨️

Today was devastating. But I'm not giving up, and I hope you don't, either. #goodtrouble is more important than ever. 🔥

Omaha Beach, D-Day's bloodiest beach by far. 81 years after 2,400 U.S. soldiers lost their lives here, you can still feel the heaviness of loss. The shimmering three-part monument, Les Braves, was created to remind us we must stand strong in the face of inhumanity ~ a timely reminder.
