Amazing! Thank you for sharing! ❄️

"ICE will leave Minnesota if you hand over your voter rolls" tells you everything you need to know.

This was never about immigration or fraud. It was always about rigging elections.

Statement from Gov. Phil Scott of #VT.
"...Restore Constitutionality."

Bernice King has it absolutely right. We are facing a moral crisis in this country. And we must all act together to end it.

Welp, the snow started falling in the early afternoon (expand to see them in the photo) and school is closed for tomorrow! #Winter #SkyLove #Snow #Stunday #EastCoastKin #VT

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

Sundering on a bad day in Minnesota. An ICU nurse in our Minneapolis Veterans hospital died on our streets today working for good.

A sunset on a sad day in Minnesota.
In memory of Alex Pretti who was a nurse helping our veterans in the Minneapolis VA hospital in the ICU. Again someone shot for being a great person.

Good morning! Thank you, Gerald! We‘re about 4 hours away from the start of potentially 24 hours of light fluffy snow…which will pile up fast! 😳

Indeed! The ruby throated cuties hang out with me in my garden all summer! They enjoy my lilacs, lobelia, salvia, and large patch of bee balm! 😊

Good eye! It’s definitely a genus Condylostylus. 👏

Statement from Michael and Susan Pretti Parents of Alex Jeffrey Pretti “We are heartbroken but also very angry. Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately, he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the ‘hero’ term lightly. However, his last thought and act was to protect a woman. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He had his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down, all while being pepper sprayed. Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you.

So cold…no snow yet! It got up to 3 F today! #BlueSkyArtShow #Cold #selfie #selfportrait #winter #VT

No more funding for ICE. Period, full stop. This cannot be allowed to go on.
