It happened. I had just walked out of the food court at the State Fair, heard gunshots, and had to run and hide. I had to help hold and hide three little girls I don’t know. Thank God none of us were hurt.

As riots in Minneapolis continue, a center for low-income housing put out a call asking for food donations. This is how people responded. There was so much food it became a distribution center for anyone — at all — who needed it. Humanity.🌎❤️😇

I have to laugh at everyone rolling their eyes at the TCU students rushing the field. Their unranked team knocked off a ranked team after some tough losses. If they’d left early, you’d be talking about them too. Let them celebrate - it’s college. #gofrogs
