Interesting piece but it had no mention of the fact that US citizens living overseas are required to file Federal tax returns. No taxation without representation… shouldn’t that stop the argument right there??

Three weeks from right now, millions of Americans will gather again to say NO KINGS. As Trump wields government power to censor free speech and threaten political opponents, we need to make October 18 a historic day of resistance. Please join us: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i... #NoKings

Wildlife sightings on this morning’s bike ride:
2 raccoons playing in a culvert
1 very dead skunk
1 small pile of bear scat (all I need to see of a bear)
1 rattlesnake curled on the road (no desire to check if it was alive or dead)
4 wild turkeys
Too many prairie dogs to count

Jimmy Kimmel wasn't suspended because of what he said. He was suspended because the FCC threatened his employer.
That's state-sanctioned censorship and it is a GIANT RED FLAG 🚩🚩🚩 that authoritarianism isn’t *coming* it’s ALREADY HERE. Today it's Jimmy. Tomorrow it's the rest of us.

I saw a freight train go by today, and all I could think was, America’s rolling stock is a laughing stock…
It was slow and creaky and looked like a relic from the past… #infrastructurefail

I discovered Team Caches yesterday in downtown Issaquah. Despite roping in a random stranger, we were unable to get it to work. Next time we’ll bring an entire posse! Love the concept though.
