Police Officer "ambushed" in Minneapolis

 2200 Blaisdell Avenue, right near the Park-Nicollet Clinic I go to at 2001 Blaisdell. The officer was killed and a bystander. It's an immigrant community of apartment buildings mostly, alongside former mansions on Pillsbury Street. I spent an afternoon between appointments last summer walking around, taking pictures... No  more.

I think maybe I'm going to cancel my lab draw on Monday morning, and appointment with my specialist on Tuesday.  I just don't feel safe going out anymore.  With the people after Trump, the St. Paul black mayor announcing HIS student loans were forgiven, and the shootings, I choose to stay in with my plants and my books.  People encourage hate of Others on social media. People "cancel" and delete others, then allow "fuck you" posts to stay up.  The rich have nothing better to do than to pound down.

It's not two Americas. It's everybody for themselves.  I have my books, I visit the food bank, I went to see family recently.  I am staying safe this summer and staying in.  Good luck to everyone.  You can't put hate out into this world and think it won't be coming for you.  We get what we value:  we're killing children with our weapons and can't speak out against Israel without being targeted at work, in schools, or anywhere as the Jewish people are "untouchables" in power now.  The current president of the United States has just "greenlighted" an attack with our weapons on Russia.

The rich are getting richer.  The homeless numbers grow.  The hypocites have other people -- US taxpayers -- pay for their parents, and can't even be bothered to cancel vacay plans or visit with them when they are dying, much less care for them daily.  They post their ignorance on social media:  "ain't my life good?"  or worse, "Pity me, my poor dying parent is angry because I never visit."

Not me.  As for me and my books, we're staying in.  Let the rest of the world delight in their fortunes, I would not want to be like that if I could...
