I also haven’t done laundry in weeks but I do still clean (not the kitchen). We don’t have kids but I take care of the pets (minus poop scoopin). We both work and it’s exhausting even with a partner. I’m curious how others manage these never ending chores to share the load? #adulting #housespouses

Today I realized that I don’t even know where the trash or recycling bins at our new spot are because I’ve never taken them out. I haven’t grocery shopped in mooooonths (maybe a year solo?) or managed the bills. Took a few years to get here, but solid progress on the husband training. You can do it!

During the first Minnesota murder, they refused to let a medical professional help the woman they had shot. Now for the second Minnesota murder, they simply shot the medical professional.

The Secretary of Defense praising the murder of a protestor and posting "ICE > MN."

Minnesota is an American state with almost six million residents.

To be clear about what happened:

Alex Pretti was a Minnesota citizen and ICU nurse doing what thousands in MN are doing: observing and protesting against ICE.

He had a handheld camera. He saw a woman pushed down by ICE. He went to help. Six or more ICE goons came after him.

Pretty fucking SALTY about ICE 🚫🧊 #BeGood #FuckICE

I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening.

The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.

Alex Pretti "used to tell people off when they made sexist comments to female physicians. He bought me coffee when I had a really bad day as an intern...I laughed alongside him daily. He made a point to teach medical residents without judgement, but with a smile on his face and a joke."

Finally switched to Qobuz a few days ago… 🎶

So close

Love this! Southern Oregon had a large showing of older folks too. Why would that ever be a bad thing?! Everyone from toddlers to elderly war vets & retired teachers/nurses were out! People often complain about the older generation not understanding today’s struggle, so I’m glad they showed up! 💙🇺🇸🚫👑

The most joyful and peaceful protest that I’ve attended to date 💙 #NoKingsDay

This is so dark

Happy to hear Greta is back and safe, but a little disappointed North Korea didn’t follow through on the threat. In support of Greta, I’m checking out all her books through my library on Libby! #GretaTheGreat #FreePalestine #ClimateJusticeNow
