My grandfather was born in 1884 and lived until 1977... I loved talking to him and hearing his stories and he lived to see the Apollo missions.

I only kept one guitar; a 1963 Gibson B25 sunburst.

When I moved in 2015, one of the movers destroyed it.

I took that as a sign to learn acceptance.

Thanks... was just curious. I'm out of touch having sold my collection in 2014 (due to illness, lost most of my ability to feel and do fine finger control)

Same (despite having a daughter that was obsessed with it)

Out of curiosity... if you don't mind: how much ?

The assault is horrifying on its own, but then there's the other agent shouting "...or else you're next" while another fixes their face shroud.

It was a bunch of people praying and singing. Local cops cleared a path for a fascist propaganda op and then assisted federal forces in brutalizing protesters. Those are the facts.

Noem introduced Border Patrol Chief G. Bovino who claimed the protesters nearby were “an unsafe crowd” and declared “a free arrests zone” to arrest them all after one warning.

Bovino: “They’re getting it here as soon as we leave.”

Eric Reinhart @eric-reinhart.com · 5d

ICE just blatantly violated the law and arrested sitting Chicago Alderperson Jessie Fuentes while seeking to illegally arrest a patient in a hospital. Fuck these fascists.
