Not sure how to describe myself. I'm pushing 70 (how did that happen!?). Retired private sector and federal service employee. I'm a blue dot in a very red state. I'm a "glass half full" person, so I'm hopeful for the future. And - I'm not that "Karen". :)

Dear ICE,
Thou shalt not wear a mask and abduct 5-year-olds and call yourself a ‘Christian.’
You are the complete opposite of Christ.

Good morning. A winter safety reminder: as temperatures and windchills plunge, it’s important to stay warm and dry if you’re outdoors.
Also, water balloons are an effective means of ICE removal in Minneapolis in January.

Not sure why, but I'm playing Glen Miller this evening (on vinyl). String of pearls, Alice Blue Gown, etc. I was in the band in school in the 70's (yep, I'm a band nerd). We played everything from big band, swing, ragtime, to Chicago and the Rolling Stones. I will always treasure my band time.

Some good news for once! Firings from April and June at the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health are being reversed! 👏
It would appear that many, if not all, of the firings affecting NIOSH are being reversed. These happened back in APRIL and JUNE, gutting our personnel.
No other communication- just a short email (without CDC or HHS signatures) stating RIF recission.

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.
I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

1) Her tire was already turned to the right PAST the officer before the first shot.
2) His feet were to the LEFT of the car proving he wasn’t in danger before the first shot.

On a lighter note, here's my kitty Reacher (Jack Reacher) with my youngest grandson's panda (because they're twins!). Reach has been gone for over a year. My grandsons loved him. When my oldest grandson was little and would see black and white cows, he called them Reacher cows.
