My great uncle Michael Picciano died during WWI when a German U-boat torpedoed his ship off the coast of France. He was the first-born child of Italian immigrants. Today, think about the sacrifices immigrants have made for this country. #immigrants #memorialday

The great @suzannevega.bsky.social releases “Luka” as a single this weekend in 1987. Upon hearing it, Prince (whom she never met) sent a letter. “‘Luka’ is the most compelling piece of music I’ve heard in a long time,” he wrote. “There are no words 2 tell you all the things I feel when I hear it.”

NATO Summit in June will be at The Hague. Zelensky invited despite the U.S. protestation. Find it hard to believe Trump would go anywhere near The Hague.
