One of the easiest, highest–impact ways to fight back against the authoritarian creep is to be a reminder. Everywhere you go, every time you post, say it loud: Groceries are high because of Trump & Republicans. Name them. Shame them. Repeat it until it’s burned into memory.

HAPPY SUMMER SOLSTICE, Skylights and Skywalkers!!

Today invites us to reflect on BALANCE—between work/life, self/community, anger/joy, action/rest.

As day and night are in equilibrium, I hope you find yours, too. 🌞

We’ll need strong backs and steely spines, but we also need soft, open fronts.❤️

Bring back Blue Books.

We must ALL speak up and speak out…

Liberty and justice for all, not just the people who look like you and agree with you. Way to represent #whitebearlake ! We had hundreds show up in downtown White Bear Lake at Railroad Park and stretching along Hwy 61 from 1st Street to 5th Street. #NoKings #defendingdemocracy

If you know, you know.

Glad I did all of my gardening and yard work before surgery, now Max and I can set back and watch the boys tackle redoing the backyard landscaping. 🌻🪴🌸

Can’t think of a better way to start the day! Happy Mother’s Day to all who celebrate! 💕

Minnesota rolls out dashboard tracking federal funding cuts in the state As of Wednesday, the site reported roughly $296 million in federal grants to Minnesota had been cut and millions more expected to be cancelled.

Decisions made by billionaires in Washington are cutting real programs that save Minnesotans money, monitor disease outbreaks, and keep us safe.
 
And they're just getting started on their promised cuts to Social Security and Medicaid.

Thundersnow!

Fayetteville postal workers set to protest threats to dismantle postal service Postal workers are rallying Thursday in Fayetteville against the postmaster's restructuring plan and a controversial agreement with DOGE.

"'The Postal Service is the only entity that delivers to every address in the country, no matter how remote. If we privatize it, those rural customers will be left behind,' warns Tony McKinnon, president of the NC Council of the APWU."

Find a cool product on Amazon? That company exists OFF Amazon, too. 1. Google company name 2. Order from their site 2a. Can usually find a 10% code! 3. Can still get product in 2 - 8 days. 4. Company avoids losing 25% margin share to Amazon. 5. You avoid giving money to Bezos.

Time to use Amazon like they used to use brick-and-mortar book stores!

When I was diagnosed with Celiac, I had to give up a lot of food, but honestly didn’t miss McDonalds. Except for the Filet o Fish sandwiches. Still miss those.

WE GOT THIS!

Starts NOW - through the 14th. Don’t touch Amazon or anything Jeff Bezos owns.

Magical 💚🩷

Amazing open! ❤️
