Tanner's prompt for today is Breathe.
In a break from tradition, instead of me talking about this, I'm going to direct you to some other articles from this weekend. I'm doing this because the word "breathe" has an entirely different context today due to the recent death of George Floyd. Some of his last words were "I can't breathe." I am heartbroken over his death and the needless deaths of many other African Americans. I wish there was something I could do. One thing that I feel able to do is directing my readers to other articles that give more information, so you can be informed and possibly called to action. So, here you go.
This first article is called "Three videos piece together the final moments of George Floyd's life."

Next up is "This is how loved ones want us to remember George Floyd."

My next link includes live protest coverage in Milwaukee and Madison.

And finally, I think these words from President Obama are very helpful.
