Renee Nicole Good & Sgt. 1st Class Nicole Amor: 2 Minn. women killed by the Trump admin. Good and Amor (Love). The name Nicole is of Greek origin, meaning "victory of the people". It's popular for its connotation of strength, leadership, and resilience. Just saying.

Weird they dragged in Hillary Clinton when there's another First Lady right there in the White House who actually knew Jeffrey Epstein.

Don't know, but I am so grateful to you and other talented photogs that post beautiful images of birds, flowers, animals, landscapes, etc. In these unsettled times, beauty is a tonic for the soul. So thanks for packing the big lens. πŸ’–

An osprey made me feel like prey once when I was swimming across a lake ... very frightening.

It's scary, but the drawdown announced today is good news. And I'm so proud of my neighbors for coming together to stand up against hate.

Yeah. For non-locals, this is a very nice neighborhood filled w/ renovated homes & commercial bldgs from the late 19th/early 20th c., not far from Summit Avenue's mansions. That's to say: no community is safe from ICE.

Tragic. I'm at Nina's, a nearby coffee shop. In addition to the severe physical & psychological damage to victims, & financial losses to the owners of the smashed cars, there is collateral damage to all who experienced this ... like the baristas who are asked to repeat the story by every customer.

There was a long line to buy ICE OUT signs at Mischief Toy Store in St. Paul this a.m., but it's worth the wait to support this store that has been targeted by ICE.

I’m on the scene at Franklin and 1st. A convoy of about a couple dozen ICE/HSI agents broke the entryway into an apartment building at 6am. No warrant presented. Less than 24 hours ago, Tom Homan announced the end of large convoys in Minnesota… Bullshit.

I understand. I love to claim that Gov. Walz, Mayors Frey & Her, and all the ICE OUT protesters are examples of what it means to be a Minnesotan, but Hegseth is from here, too. πŸ₯Ί
