Liberal Grammy, newly widowed and trying to keep my balance. After being married for 50 years, I am learning to navigate a new world. I'm worried about the future for my children and grandkids.

Nothing more Minnesotan than jumping in a frozen lake for a good cause. I joined Team Tessa at the Polar Plunge to benefit Special Olympics and celebrate ability, community, and inclusion for all.

Dead kids didn’t matter. Endless school shootings didn’t matter. But a single liberal with a firearm? That broke the GOP.

The KKK is back? Were they ever gone? Suspect arrested Saturday night after arson fire heavily damaged the same house of worship in NE Jackson the KKK bombed in 1967. Several Torahs damaged or destroyed-one that survived the Holocaust was in a glass case & did not burn #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

This is called an awareness tag. Pretty amazing. Tap it with a smart phone and details appear so you can contract someone about the person wearing it. Great aid to those caring for someone with dementia or Alzheimer's.

On the eve of the vote to release the Epstein files and (hopefully) end the silence, a lot of reporters stayed silent when one of their female peers was called Piggy by the president. We can’t end violence against women unless a whole lot more people are willing to speak up when they see it.

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

We need to bring back decency

Jasmine Crockett@jasmineforus.bsky.social

Democracy requires decency. Our democracy is devolving because we neglected to demand common decency of the most powerful individual in our country; the President.

What does the Heritage Foundation mean by “hard targets for woke culture warriors”? Sounds like language of inciting violence. bsky.app/profile/nanc...

Project 2025, Page 4-5: "The next conservative President must make the institutions of American civil society hard targets for woke culture warriors. This starts with deleting the terms sexual orientation and gender identity ('SOGI'), diversity, equity, and inclusion ('DEI')..."

It's not just him

Is it just me, or does anyone else find it frighteningly surreal that the terrible atrocities, injustices and war crimes of faraway lands that we studied in history books when we were kids are now being committed, promoted and even celebrated by our own U.S. government, on a daily basis?

Health care is different from other goods. If people can’t pay for health care, they don’t suddenly stop needing it. So, where do people get their health care if they don’t have health insurance? Our latest newsletter on why poor health makes us all poorer: www.npr.org/sections/pla...

JUST HAPPENED: West: “You can’t violate another country’s sovereignty.” Jennings: “Why? We do it all the time. Who’s going to stop us?” He admitted America breaks the law constantly—and then dared the world to do something about it. That’s not journalism. That’s fascism on live TV.

Auchincloss: Republicans don’t think of themselves as members of a separate and co-equal branch of government, devised by the Constitution to be a check on the power of the presidency. Instead, they see themselves more like a board of advisors to a CEO—competing for access as courtiers.
