Lopez Island is one of my favorite places, as are many of the wild and rural places of the West. Still like animal and nature posts, but will block unknown followers without ANY pro-democracy/anti-dictatorship posts.

Bruce Springsteen - Streets Of Minneapolis (Official Audio)
Bruce Springsteen - Streets Of Minneapolis (Official Audio) YouTube video by Bruce Springsteen

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Trump’s Most Dangerous Gambit His irrational obsession with Greenland could lead to global conflict.

Danish and Greenland ministers just left the White House. It did not go well.
I have a long discussion here of Trump's attempt to get Greenland and why it could lead to World War III.

Calling your Senator is worth it it. In this case, especially if you have a Republican Senator or reluctant Democrat. Sometimes you even get to talk to a real live person. πŸ˜‰

However, I disagree about who the terrorist is.

The investments in private prisons is pervasive. WA state investment board have these (passive?) investments in their public equity portfolio (retirement funds). Standards are to be met - HA!
