It doesn’t matter that Don Lemon hired a superstar attorney or that the case against him is meritless. There are too many journalists with far less money and far fewer resources than Lemon who will be more cautious going forward. That was the intent, and that’s the main problem.

"Protests against ICE raids have spread far beyond Minnesota, with demonstrations reported in hundreds of towns and cities. These actions might not stop deportations in Minneapolis, but they do something else that historians recognize as vital: tell those resisting on the ground that they are seen."

Though sometimes difficult to rehome, senior dogs can make great pets because they are long past the frenzied puppy stage, often well-trained and likely settled into some sort of routine.

Dog rescues are booming, but few focus on ‘elder pups.’ Here are two leading the way in Minnesota.

Grey Face Rescue and Retirement in St. Cloud and Top Dog Foundation in New Germany aim to give senior dogs the “most amazing second act.”

This makes even more sense when you are married to a Swede. There is a sense of fairness and community. And as someone who volunteers for husky rescue--Sweden has rights for dogs--look them up! There are no shelters necessary because people are born with a sense of responsibility.
