I’m tired of the narrative of all politicians being “the same” and all being corrupt. It’s simply not true. There are many wonderful ppl like Melissa who are dedicated and good ppl in office. Lift them up. Support them. RIP Melissa and Mark.
Melissa Hortman was only 55 years old. She had a lot more to do. It is so bitter and so sad that her life was taken - assassinated for fighting for what she believed in.
It will now be up to us to carry on these fights.

Right on, Dodgers!
More of this, please.

I was so close—I heard almost every single thing he said.
The farting—you wanted to know about that?
It was a silent one… sort of.

The world must see this. The world must act. A father and mother sit in shock beside the ruins of their home — their child is still under the rubble. This is happening right now in Ukraine.
How many more families have to be torn apart like this before the world says: Enough? Please, do something.
