  • Even the Chinese military had the sense and humanity to stop when a person stood in front of a column of tanks.

    Not the United States Trump SS!

  • It is difficult to listen to the words in our national anthem today before the NFL playoff games. We have fellow citizens from a major city that are experiencing such conflicting versions of what the anthem says America is supposed to be.

    I am 100% confident that the citizens of Minneapolis do not feel free today. They are under siege by our own government. They have masked invaders hunting down their neighbors. Imagine how you would feel in their shoes just for a moment.

    On the flip side, we can see in every video made public that the citizens of Minneapolis are proving over and over again that Minneapolis is indeed the home of the brave. They are standing up to a corrupt government and putting their lives on the line.

    Be brave, be free. The future is brighter than today.

  • Here’s another view from the porch after Winter Storm Fern.

  • Winter Storm Fern did not disappoint. Here’s a view from our porch with one overachieving neighbor’s driveway already cleared.

  • Police Chief O’Hara is showing what a community leader and public servant looks and sounds like. This is the type of care and behavior we should expect from the people that keep us safe in our homes and communities.

  • I think this is exactly what the entire world saw and continues to see on any new video made public.

    That’s what I saw too.

    A threads post from FeministaJones: “I just watched Pink Coat's video That man was protecting women He was helping women who were being pepper-sprayed. He put his body in between the women and ICE. They pulled him off bc they wanted to keep assaulting the women. He risked his life to protect the women ICE was targeting because they're violent misogynists Wow. WOW.”

  • Americans, watch the videos. Believe your eyes.

    YOUR PRESIDENT IS LYING TO YOU!

    YOUR FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS LYING TO YOU!

    Get up! Stand up! Get involved! Will it be dangerous? Absolutely, but if you continue to sit on the sidelines, you are complicit just like all of the Germans that watched their neighbors kill millions without doing a damn thing to stop it.

    Now is the time!

  • Trump’s SS has murdered another person in Minneapolis in front of all of our eyes. The news media will say a person was “shot”, and the SS will lie about what actually happened just like the first time even though there was crystal clear video, but let’s all use the correct language. This was a murder, plain and simple.

    Let that sink in.

    This didn’t stop in LA, it didn’t stop in DC, it didn’t stop in Chicago, and it won’t stop in Minneapolis.

    We have two choices, Americans. We can either fight back ourselves or we can demand that the people we elected to serve and protect us actually serve and protect us. I think all of us would prefer the latter but have been taught all of our lives that the former is required and expected when necessary.

    The only question now is deciding when to give up on our elected leaders. I think we’re right on the verge.

  • I have been very impressed with the software in our Volvo, but one of my frustrations is that Volvo’s implementation of AAOS in our model does not support Apple Music. My hope is that this announcement foreshadows a future software update for other Volvo models to make Apple Music available in Google Play.

    And while I’m asking Volvo for things, throw in the MLB and Audacy apps and make the SiriusXM app capable of playing internet stations and podcasts in addition to the satellite stations. Easy peasy.

  • Sometimes it just takes a picture to tell a story. What do you think the investment world thinks about Trump’s insane push for Greenland and the war (trade or otherwise) that it will cause?
