Good Minnesotans protesting #ICE's tragic violence has been so peaceful that a federal judge literally had to step in to protect protesters from the violent #ICENazis. So why react with flooding Minneapolis with thousands more #ICENazis? If Trump admin wanted calm, why escalate? #ReneeGood

There is a reason he’s forced to cause all of this chaos. He has NO PLAN. He funds no programs, no healthcare, no education, no lower prices, money coming in only supports more chaos. He envies other dictators. I challenge ANYONE to tell me just one single thing he’s accomplished? Discussion open

These are fraught days for those of us who have loved our country through sunshine and storms, good times and bad. One does not have to be blind to the many ways our country has fallen short of its ideals to believe that deep down we were somehow exceptional.

Playing with other mediums can feel like becoming a master of none, but I've found each one feeds the next. What I learn in one medium always carries into others and has a funny way of leading me back to the one I love most.

A cold coming we had of it
Just the worst time of the year
For a journey, & such a journey:
The ways deep & the weather sharp,
The very dead of winter.
