Web Time Wasters
How was your week, friends? It was a heart breaking week to be from Minnesota. As I’m sure you heard, the officer who shot Philando Castile was found not guilty on all counts. We like to think we’re pretty liberal and evolved here in Minnesota but clearly we have a long, long way to go. If you’d like to help and you’re not sure how, you can start by setting up a monthly donation to one of these organizations that works for racial equality.
