Yes, jumping to conclusions is a bad idea. Like when all the maga folks id'd him as a leftist trans person following the shooting with absolutely zero facts to back it up.

I also hesitate to fully trust family statements without other input. I wish media had more integrity these days.

Minnesota Twins outfielder Buxton at the home game August 29 wearing a bright blue baseball cap with Prayers A.C.S. embroidered on the side.

Prayers will never be enough. Tonight at the Minnesota Twins game they placed 20 candles on home plate & held a moment of silence. That really moved me. I hope some day soon the gun people will realize that we can find common ground to reduce/end these tragedies.

Photo taken at Glacier National Park in Montana. There are blue skies, giant mountains and a beautiful clear lake in the picture. I'm the lake you can see a whole lot of colorful rocks on the bottom.

Wow. Montana is beautiful. I feel so lucky to have seen this.

Red book cover with black text in a block on the bottom: One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This by Omar El Akkad. In the center there is an image of a girl and a missile is above her headed straight down and both of those are in black as well.

Just finished listening to One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This by Omar El Akkad (and read by the author). If you're looking for some perspective on the genocide in Palestine & how it relates to Western Liberalism look no further.

a yard is pictured. In 2 parts of it there are almost perfect circles of no growth. that is where the 2 trees we cut down were.

When you have to cut down a tree, don't have the stump ground out! The soil can't handle it. Can you guess where our trees were before we planted our native plant yard? Going forward we will leave the stump or leave a wildlife snag. (Look it up!) #naturalgardens

A close up picture of a goldenrod plant greens with a quarter size bump below one of the sets of leaves. This is a goldenrod gall fly pod. This plant existed before we planted seeds this spring.

This spring we replaced our grass lawn with a native plants & grasses cover and the gardener we're working with is awesome. He was here today for our monthly visit and pointed out something new to me - a goldenrod gall fly bud. I did some reading on it today & it's fascinating! #naturalgardens

We’re honored to stand alongside our colleagues and friends — bound by an oath to serve.

An oath to the Constitution and to our country 🇺🇸

I am not feeling the 4th of July this year. It is hard to celebrate America while SCOTUS is honoring a convicted rapist as their king, letting him kidnap people, and build concentration camps. — Does anyone else feel this way?

-A living wage
-Guaranteed healthcare
-The right to join a union
-The right to vote
-The right to choose when, how, and with whom you start a family
-The right for you and your family to live free from gun violence

These are the foundations of real freedom.

#HappyPride for the next 335 days, too.

The American people were lied to about Vietnam, with tragic consequences.

The American people were lied to about Iraq, with tragic consequences.

The American people are being lied to again today. We cannot allow history to repeat itself.

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

On Juneteenth and forever…

Honor, don’t bury or whitewash the history of our ancestors who were lynched.

Man suspected of shooting 2 Minnesota lawmakers caught, AP source says The man suspected of shooting two Minnesota lawmakers, killing one of them, has been taken into custody, a law enforcement official said..

Vance Boelter has been apprehended. May the wheels of justice grind harshly & swiftly.

💔 The assassination attempts on 2 politicians and their spouses are both heartbreaking and utterly predicatable. We have allowed right-wing extremism and gun fetishism to explode unchecked despite daily tragedies. 
This isn’t a Minnesota problem, it is an American problem and we MUST fight back.

You can't be pro-life and a murderer.

Target Field in Minneapolis where the MN Twins play. They are hosting the Detroit Tigers for an overcast day game.

Take me out to the ballgame! I have some very mixed feelings about professional sports but I'm glad to be here with my family today.
