This is my private account. I am retired and doing a podcast. I have a nine month old who keeps me super busy, but I love it, she’s amazing. I’m an American living overseas. The Clint Initiative Podcast is my other account. Yes, I am, A Rainbow American.

All of our living presidents who still have a sense of decency gathered to honor Rev. Jesse Jackson.

Respect recognizes respect.

We are currently outside the ICE Broadview concentration camp where Sunny Naqvi’s family believes her to be held after being detained in O’Hare by federal authorities.

You don’t get to thank veterans for their service and then gut the VA.

Donald Trump’s reckless DOGE cuts have eliminated tens of thousands of VA jobs where about a third of those workers are veterans themselves.

The cover has a light blue sky in the upper half. Charlotte's Web is written in blue-green letters, all joined by a spider's web. Hanging down from the C in Charlotte is a spider on a thread. In the lower half is a young girl in a[ponytail, wearing a red top. She's facing left, towards the spider, holding a pig under her left arm. A sheep looks on on the left. A goose looks on on the right. She's leaning on a wooden fence, on which the author's name is printed in red and Garth Williams's in black.

Ch. 7: Charlotte’s Web

The story behind the story. White decides to write about a spider; many drafts and “ripening time” later, he takes it to #UrsulaNordstrom; they collaborate with Garth Williams.
And what a result! #nonfictionkidlit #abramsbooks

It wasn’t a question. It was an observation of an obvious fact.

Darkness may not be "good" but there is nothing quite like the charm of a movie made with $5000 and pure intentions.

47 years of demonizing Iran for crimes committed and imaged future crimes, that’s all I see, this is all wrong. Now that it’s happening the president is calling on anyone fighting to lay down their arms. If they did that, who would they surrender to? Who? They just want to keep killing.

Mark Wayne Mullen is just the replacement to ensure none of that happens.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Worst possible replacement for the puppy killer.

Let’s say right now, they all hear that, they lay down their arms and stop fighting; who will they be surrendering to? Who? We have no boots on the ground. Our allies have no boots on the ground. Who would they surrender to?

tRump did not approve her stupid ad, He could care less about anything she did, to include the killing of two Americans.

He tore down the East Wing of our White House. We all saw it. For me it was an unexpected trauma seeing that, I had no idea how much the White House means to me, the trauma endured by black slaves who helped build it. Yeah that resonates with me. Seeing it just torn down. Was an Unforgivable Trauma.

If I were to in a lab, come up with the worst possible replacement for Kristi Noem, I would pick Mark Wayne Mullen. Our president wants the worse for our country and everything he does proves that.

NOEM: I would disagree with the judge

CROCKETT: I'm sure you would, but can you tell me whether or not you have a law degree?

NOEM: A what?

CROCKETT: A law degree

NOEM: No I do no-

CROCKETT: Okay

She paid hundreds of thousands for life-saving open-heart surgery and only avoided bankruptcy because she had solid insurance.

For anyone without coverage or savings, the same surgery could ruin them or cost their life. That’s how broken this system is. #TrumpsWarOnOurEconomy

Minnesota is mourning the loss of Sergeant First Class Nicole M. Amor of White Bear Lake who was killed in Kuwait on Sunday.

She answered the call to serve and gave her life in service to our state and nation. Minnesotans are wrapping our arms around her loved ones.
