there's always more

No matter how much I try to "catch up" on the news, there's always a lot more still to see.

military at Federal Reserve Bank in downtown Minneapolis 2020 June 01I drove to work today past the military stationed at the Federal Reserve Bank in downtown Minneapolis.  This photo captures only a small part of what they had out there.

I dislike driving to work and seeing military forces.

Wouldn't it be cheaper to arrest those police officers?
Wouldn't it be easier to organize our society for justice?
Justice for everyone, I mean. 
Not just for the white, the rich, the male, the straight, or the kaleidoscope of other things that people can be other than being like...

Is Trump still hiding in his bunker?  Has he started shouting at everyone around him yet?  Has he called his friend in the Kremlin for fascist suggestions on how to emphasize his authority?

protest march in downtown Minneapolis 2020 June 01I finished my workday and drove home again.  Waiting for a signal light to change, I took a distant photo of a group marching in the road toward me.  I heard the chants:

"No justice, no peace"

I waved hello at them and honked my horn a few times to show my appreciation and support.

I turned on the television and saw overhead images of people packing the streets (social distance, please!) at the official Governor's Residence in St. Paul.

I'm nearing my stress limit.  I want to absorb all of the information, but there's just too much of it, and nearly all of it has strong emotional meaning too.
