Hey artist!! Quote with your orange art 🧡🔸🧡

Kyle Rittenhouse was a hero to the right, but Pretti was a “domestic terrorist” for having a legal gun. The double standard with some on the right is astonishing. Alex Pretti’s murder will go down in history as a turning point in this Administration.

@jeannettebedard.bsky.social
what book of yours should be my first.
I'm looking to find new authors for my reading time.
Have a great week!

@jeannettebedard.bsky.social How is your writing going?
I'm getting back into the saddle after a few weeks off to recharge. ;-)

A little extra love to Minnesota nurses today.

Chris Madel: "The president posted something on Truth Social saying it was a time of reckoning and retribution on the citizens of my state, and I've seen that happen and I cannot be a part of it, and I can't be a part of a party that's a part of that"

Trump, in retreat, praises U.K. troops after royal family expresses hurt President Donald Trump’s comments belittling the role of NATO allies in Afghanistan sparked outrage in Britain, which lost 457 soldiers in the U.S.-led war.

Trump’s retreat followed a low-key intervention by King Charles III, whose son Prince Harry served on the front lines as a helicopter pilot and lost friends in the fighting. The UK was second only to the US in total number of soldiers killed in Afghanistan.

I’ve never been prouder to be a Minnesotan.

Screenshot of an X post by James Talarico (@jamestal…; 5h). The text reads: “ICE shot a mother in the face. ICE kidnapped a 5 year-old boy. ICE executed a man on the street. It’s time to tear down this secret police force.” Below is a video thumbnail showing Talarico speaking at a podium in front of a blue curtain. A TV chyron references a “Democratic U.S. Senate primary debate” and asks, “Do you support defunding or abolishing ICE?” with KXAN/Nexstar branding and “LIVE: U.S. Senate Debate.”

Talarico is right. Stop them now, before they come to your city to do the same.

Bondi’s ‘blackmail’ letter to Minnesota deepens concerns over DOJ’s voter roll motives, federal judge says The judge reiterated the DOJ's case against Oregon will be dismissed entirely.

🚨BREAKING: A federal judge in Oregon said Attorney General Pam Bondi’s recent letter to Minnesota reinforced unease about how the Justice Department is wielding its authority in its nationwide push for state voter rolls, suggesting the administration’s campaign may be driven by improper motives.

Raphael Warnock speaking to reporters

Raphael Warnock: “I can’t think of something more un-American than a federal law enforcement agency that can:

Enter homes without a judicial warrant.
Patrol our streets in unmarked vehicles.
Demand papers at random.

ICE has become a threat to our American freedoms”

Bovino is just the patsy - a noxious and odious fall guy. Stephen Miller is the architect and prime mover of the whole thing. Everything they do is at his direction - often after his threats. As long as he runs policy in the WH, nothing will change no matter how many Bovinos come and go.

Reporter: Will Stephen Miller be apologizing to the family of Alex Pretti for calling him an assassin?

Leavitt: This incident remains under investigation.

Chris Madel announced he is ending his bid for the GOP nomination in the Minnesota governor's race, citing national Republicans' handling of immigration enforcement in his state. Aaron Lavinsky / TNS/ABACA via Reuters Connect

Chris Madel Republican candidate for Minnesota Governor: “I can’t look my daughters in the eye & say I’m running as a Republican, when they’re pulling over Hispanics & Asians because of the color of the skin — I did not sign up for that”

For some reason even though it's called Triple Oak I wasn't expecting this to be a blond! Thankfully it's very nice.

Great series!!
Loved every book.

An illustration of a man wearing a duster and fedora, holding a staff. Book cover for STORM FRONT (Dresden Files #1) by Jim Butcher.

4⭐️ STORM FRONT (Dresden Files #1) by Jim Butcher. 2000. Urban fantasy. Private Investigator and wizard, Harry Dresden investigates murder cases the Chicago police can’t explain away. Reads like pulp fiction. Entertaining. Recommend. I may end up reading this series. 💙📚

This sums it up.

Kash Patel: "You cannot bring a firearm, loaded, with multiple magazines to any sort of protest that you want. It's that simple. You don't have a right to break the law." (Pretti was carrying a gun legally.)

50,000 Minnesotans turned out to peacefully protest ICE’s actions in 10 below weather and there were no problems.

The next day a whole team of federal agents couldn’t handle one citizen with a cell phone. They shot him.

ICE needs to leave.

Meanwhile — in other news - We are now 37 days beyond the statutory deadline for the full release of the Epstein files
