Every nurse, doctor, and staff member treated my father with dignity, honor, and respect. Shame on Musk and Trump and this entire GOP for spitting on those who care for our veterans. #marine #veterans #dodge youtu.be/sBxl3RjW48I?...
My story was published in Water~Stone Review volume 19. It was an incredible experience. Mary Francois Rockcastle gave me the best edits and writing advice ever. My story, Orange Crush, is now a novel. I pray Hamline continues to support this beautiful literary magazine and all the talented staff.
Make people believe in democracy and decency again. It can be done…with the right marketing. Create and control the narrative. Democracy is good. Facists and oligarchs are bad. Come on. We can do this. #marketing
Everything comes down marketing. Critical thinking isn’t happening in America. People like to be told what to think and just repost memes. Dearest Democrats, now is the time to figure out messaging and hire the best marketing minds and an army of trolls and podcasters. #democrats #marketing
Have you ever been invited to stay with someone for the weekend and wake the first morning and prowl around the house early in the morning and remember they don’t drink coffee and there is not a coffee bean in the house and you can’t walk to a coffee shop…#coffee
“She be little, but she be fierce.” Support the arts.
These interviews with talented, lovely, wise authors from the Midwest are worth a listen. #writing #books #podcast #writinginsights @kellybarnhill.bsky.social
Minnehaha Creek continues to flow. A steady current strong enough to break through the ice and melt the snow. If only we could gather together in one steady, strong current, an unstoppable force. #keepmovingyourfeet
This is why you fight these cowards.
The moment you stand up to them, they crumble.
Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights.
He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.
A beautiful book to look forward to reading this fall. #mothers #bookclubs #goodreads

American men and women once fought against evil men like Hitler. They once defended Democracy and gave their lives to protect this country from men like Putin and Trump and Musk.
Keep moving your feet. Keep going.
Take someone’s hand.
If we walk together we will get there together.
Thank you to everyone who has joined the resistance! Our ranks grow stronger every day.
REP. RASKIN: “We don’t have a 4th branch of government called Elon Musk.” 🇺🇸
We all like to yell at the Democrats, but it’s really Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune who are letting Elon Musk and his faceless goon squad make a mockery of their power as leaders of a coequal branch without uttering a peep or lifting a finger.
Yes. While there are absolutely things Democrats can and must do to slow, obstruct, etc, GOP hold both House and Senate majorities, severely limiting our options.
Johnson and Thune are handing over the own keys and relinquishing their own power. Even for the cynics this should be a shock.
Trump has created a marketing trap. All smoke and mirrors. He has no power if we don’t believe his lies. #trumplies

In Minnesota it is normal for our people to walk on water. #Minnesota #miracle
Did I mention how much I love Minnesotans?
Love Minnesotans most of all. Hearty and good. #minnesota
Love Minnesota. I really do. Cold and ice and snow and all of it.
The sun in Minnesota will lie to you. “Come outside,” it will say. “Look how pretty I am. I will shine down on you and keep you warm.” It will not, at least not today. -17 degrees. #minnesota #belowzero #sun
A little about me…recently won a Moth Slam…scariest thing I’ve done as a writer…shared a story not written down on a page. #themoth
