I may have been on the other side of the continent when the 9/11 attack happened 25 years ago, but I remember it well. I also remember a first responder from New York who lived there and had medical problems from dealing with the disaster zone. Many people know similar stories and will never forget.

It's Primary Voting day, Minnesota! I hope you've done your homework. If you haven't voted early, make sure you get out to your polling place before 8 pm. ✅

I had a vivid dream the other night in which I was in a cafeteria with a few guys sitting around a couple of tables. I was tasked with informing them that Russia was still fighting Nazis. (That was inspired by the ongoing Bandarite problem in Ukraine.)

Trump is the useful idiot who is being groomed and stroked by those who are looting the planet of money and resources. They share some of the loot with him so he will believe it is a good thing. Meanwhile, we face a barrage of propaganda that ignores history to make us think this is all normal.

Collectively speaking, the US is a schizophrenic country. We are anti-war until war allows us to exploit another country. We are pro aparth3!d and g3noc!d3 until it becomes politically inconvenient. We live among disingenuous leaders. We live in shame and infamy whether we realize it or not.
