More than two generations after his passing, Bruce Lee lives on. What if we replaced that idea of “The Curse of the Dragon” with the idea of “The Gift of the Dragon?” You have all the power you need. Use it wisely for justice. More than two generations after his passing, Bruce Lee lives on.

On this day in 1959, Bruce Lee left Hong Kong to return to the US, his birthplace. He was a birthright citizen. But seen as a foreigner, he was expected to *become American*. His 12 years in the US would lead him to become the global hero of the underdog. watermirrorecho.net

Happy Year of the Fire Horse! The last was 1966, when Bruce Lee began as Kato on the Green Hornet. At first the producers gave him no lines. Yet soon Kato began to outshine the star. The lesson is: it could be a rough ride, but stick it out and you’ll find your stride. Wishing you a great year!

Another murder by immigration enforcement in my district. I am absolutely horrified that federal agents are targeting and executing our residents instead of protecting them. ICE and CBP must leave Minnesota immediately. Kristi Noem must be impeached. Enough.
