Two peas in a pod
This guy runs the Iranian Revolutionary Gaurd.

He has his “finger on the trigger”.

He has forgotten the mother of all wars.

He also has more chins than a Beijing phone book.

"The Rise of Pitcher and Mist"
Today's #BlueSkyArtShow theme is #One. This single mature pitcher plant stood alone in the Apalachicola National Forest on a foggy morning. The new season will be here in a couple months. Can't wait. #photography #landscape #EastCoastKin #fog #pitcherplants #sarracenia

Yep. I'm pissed. Boycott all MSM.
Hi guys!

CBS “News” blatantly lied to us about the fictitious “internal injuries” of Jonathan Ross to help spread propaganda for the admin.

That should piss you off.

Will ICE obey this law or tear gas it into extinction?
A federal judge on Friday barred ICE and border patrol agents in Minneapolis from arresting peaceful protesters, or using nonlethal munitions and crowd control tools against them.

Hard to believe that Minnesota is a state in the U. S. I always believed the Constitution was our sacred gate keeper, nothing too gruesome could happen to us with that as our shield. Little did we know it could so easily be tossed aside by a president with full immunity
I live in Minnesota.

I’m going to my kid’s school when it lets out today. Parents are making sure kids get safely to buses and cars so they get home.

We’ll be filming.

We’ll be there to protect our children from our government. It’s come to that.

I expect it will be a huge crowd.

We'll remember the name Keith Porter.
💔🕯️🙏💔
May he be at peace. 🙏
A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.

I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

MTG may have good intentions now but because we have seen how MAGAs are so under trump's control can they blithely walk away and change sides? I see how just a few short years ago Rubio was anti-trump, today he looks like a zombie. He must fear for his family, is now a robot. This regime is scary.
New MTG is a scary realization for me. She is capable of logic and reasoning, and she always was. She was never crazy or stupid, just deliberately mendacious. She blamed Jewish people for wildfires. Think about the cruelty of focusing MAGA ire on them, and for what? Fun? A distraction? Terrifying.

"No Safety from Wrath on High"
The #lighthouse at St. Marks is a wonderfully beautiful structure. It was fully renovated just a few years ago. I've photographed it so many times. Often with my #fullspectrum camera at #720nm. #photography #landscape #EastCoastKin #clouds #bnw #blackandwhitephotography #infrared #monochrome

Marjorie, Marjorie if you have had questions about trump before why were you such a die hard supporter, so nasty, so immoral, enough so that today everything you say people will take with a grain of salt? They see you as a pretender, untrustworthy. I want to believe you; you've been witness to much.
I hate this timeline. I hate it with the passion of 10,000 suns. Any timeline that makes me agree with Marjorie Taylor Greene should be pruned by the TVA immediately.
I absolutely HATE it when Marjorie Taylor Greene makes sense.

Rep. Crow can explain over and over how wrong FOX NEWS is with their information, but it's been proven so many times you can't fix stupid. The 'good guys' waste their breath on FOX.
Fox’s Martha Maccallum: “100,000 Americans die of overdoses - most of those drugs coming from Venezuela and other places…”

Rep Jason Crow: “That’s actually not true. The majority of those deaths come from Meth and Fentanyl, almost none of that comes from Venezuela.”

I don't think Gov. Walz would have given up if he wasn't doing this for the safety of his family. I believe that is why most Democrats are silent. Fear, not for themselves but their family members. This a cruel regime. We have no idea what living under a dictator entails. We're finding out.
So Democrats caved in and called Tim Walz to step down for the Fake news on Childcare Fraud.
Shame on these Weak Democrats (who - in Minnesota?) - Dems caved in to Nick Shirley. Fck!

"An 'otter-worldly' View of an Earthly Paradise"
It's #Stunday. I think this beautiful little river otter is stunning. I had to photograph it at 120mm as I didn't have my long lens with me. It was hunting in an are with numerous blue water sinks. #photography #wildlife #wildlifephotography #EastCoastKin #otters #springs

President Zelenskyy is sharp, and he deserves all the accolades and respect he receives from around the world. trump has to be so envious of President Zelenskyy he will do everything in his power to undo all that America has promised Ukraine. Thank God for the EU and their help
#Zelenskyywarhero💙💛
Zelensky on Venezuela:

“About Venezuela? How should I respond to that? Well, what can I say? If… If it is possible to act with dictators like this, it means the United States knows what to do next. Thank you”

Omg I love it.

Rubio is a puppet and evidently hasn't been programmed for answering questions succinctly without repeating himself. He needs to be sent to the shop for an overhaul. Also makeup dept. needs to put some life in those eyes. He has dead eyes like a shark, but not as crafty.
THIS WAS AN ACT OF WAR AND A VIOLATION OF INTERNATIONAL LAW.

But put that aside for a second…

What’s wild is that Marco Rubio isn’t even pretending anymore. He’s not hiding that the invasion of Venezuela is about oil.

This is going to end up a dumpster fire…

It would be so cool if the Republican Party didn't.
It would be so cool if the United States Congress still existed.

Mark, I think 'constitutional democracy' is no longer a part of this government. Won't be long and there will be a "trump Charter".
Dear news media,
Why not spend a few minutes today explaining how the process of going to war is supposed to work in a constitutional democracy? Because it ain't this.
January 4, 2026 at 5:25 PM
Haven't you noticed. The American government no longer believes in the legality of laws, unless you're poor and an immigrant.
What the United States did in Venezuela is prohibited under international law, which bars the use of force as an instrument of national policy.

Shirley gave trump reason to ply his cruelty by freezing childcare funding. That warms the cockles of his heart.
Don’t call me Shirley
