Hygge is my favorite.
Baking, hiking, digging in the dirt, smart and compassionate friends, and living out my dream life in Maine.
And also fighting for democracy and human rights.

If Joe Biden had claimed that he redesigned the hulls of Coast Guard cutters, we'd be way over in 25th amendment territory.

I think about this a lot. And the protests for justice in the streets. Thinking of his family.
11 years ago today, 12 year old Tamir Rice was gunned down by police officers on Cleveland’s west side.
The officer shot him within seconds of arriving at the park he was playing in.
Tamir’s life mattered. It still does. My thoughts are with his family today.
