After acting as head of the Hospitality Team and sharing my AWESOME political "explainer" slides at an amazing political meeting last night with a record 80 attendees...
...today, my only serious activity will be to learn to set up my phone camera for tonight's big show!
I'm EXCITED! 🤩

It isn't how I've felt, crawling up every day from the coal face, one eye swollen shut, clothes in shreds, hair and blood all over me, some of it mine. It's what I see/sense right now.
THIS makes me happy. What I see. And it's something surprising and it's joyful coming from the blackness:

Too many people would just say the claims of similarity are false. Exaggerations Lies. Meant to inflame rather than inform. Or maybe even say this is "violent rhetoric that needs to stop".

Great thread, Alt National Park Service. I have begun to notice some of these things. Clusters of responses. No direct "contact" with original poster. Few followers.
Can we try to do the same thing -- but going the other way?
Should we? I mean, without the bots -- just with our own responses?

School children and teens on their way home using the Washington DC Metro were allegedly stopped, forced to show ID, and thrown to the ground in and around Union Station by multiple law enforcement agencies while the National Guard watched (Sept, 3 2025)

Every tyrant in history has sought to stifle criticism of himself and his regime.
But America was founded on criticism.
American democracy was built on dissent.
Every institution, group, firm, or individual that surrenders to Trump’s wanton tyranny invites more of it.

BREAKING: Texas Rep. Nicole Collier was literally forced off a PRESS CALL by cops — mid-sentence. Police told her it’s a felony to speak while on the House floor or even in the damn bathroom.
That’s not procedure. That’s authoritarian muscle, in real time.

This is why I engage in door-to-door canvassing. The statistics support early and frequent voter contact.
Assuming success with turnout, an even bigger question might then be: will the voting systems themselves be rigged?
There is some evidence that they have been, and so could be again.

Attended a drawing lesson last night sponsored by the American Bird Conservancy @abcbirds.bsky.social
The drawing subject was the beautiful Hawaiian Honey Creeper, known locally as the I'iwi (pronounced ee-ee-WEE).
I'll post an announcement when the next fun seminar comes up!
TY for hearing me!
