Today I am thankful for organ donors, especially the one that saved my friend Barb's life. She received a double-lung transplant over two years ago, thanks to a man who checked that box to be a donor. 1/2 www.instagram.com/reel/DRDVjZB...

I love the look of the newest Little Free Library near our house, but it's so small it only can fit little paperbacks. Sadly, my older eyes and hands don't like those anymore.

My first night out in forever! Boise friends, if you’ve never been to “Story Story Night,” you are really missing out. Teacher Sarah Inama of the “Everyone is Welcome Here” poster (unwanted) fame had us all laughing and crying and cheering.

In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

I missed this yesterday. I'd like to believe Tramp (and Marjorie Taylor Green) were visited by three ghosts recently, but I won't get my hope up too far.
To ease labor shortages on farms and ranches, the Trump administration made changes to the federal H-2A visa program, which allows employers to hire foreign workers for temporary agricultural jobs when there aren’t enough U.S.-born workers available.
Trump allows more foreign ag workers, eases off ICE raids on farms • Idaho Capital Sun
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in recent months appears to be refraining from conducting agricultural workplace raids.
