🌌 Northern Lights in ALASKA! ❄️💚
The Alaskan sky exploded with color last night as the Northern Lights danced in sweeping waves of green, purple, and crimson.

What makes Trump so powerful is in no small part the media-manufactured consensus that he must be exceptional. But what if the guy is just a bumbling idiot being used by people with actual ideological agendas? Might require actual political analysis rather than celebrity fixations to beat fascism.

After Charlie Kirk’s death, Donald Trump condemned “political violence.” So what—exactly—is calling for the murder of members of Congress who don’t share his politics?

To the six Democratic lawmakers who made that beautiful video reminding our military members of their duty and obligation to NOT obey illegal orders, I say this:
Make MORE of them.

I was fascinated to learn that the earliest surviving evidence of writing in Italy comes from a woman's tomb from the 8th century BC and it probably says 'the one who spins well'. (Found at Gabii, now at the Diocletian Baths in Rome).

Green tried earlier this year but all other reps were too chickenshit to back him. Support him this time. Call your reps & tell them to join him. #3E #EndImpunity

This week, I withdrew from a speaking engagement at a public university because they sent me a list of prohibited “words & concepts.” I will not humor this censorship. It does a disservice to the stories I’m discussing & the audience, who deserve unfettered access to information & conversation.

Agate is common in the basalt flows of the Jurassic Period here in Nova Scotia, which form the spectacular hills around the Bay of Fundy. Agate became the provincial gemstone of Nova Scotia in 1999.

If joking about Charlie Kirk is considered “violent rhetoric,” how do we describe open calls to hang members of Congress?
