Here's where we are: cowering in fear from the most vindictive man who ever occupied the Oval Office. Our leaders better find their courage otherwise there will be even darker times ahead. Dump has no desire but vengeance against his "enemies" and the need to escape justice for his own prior crimes.

I can barely stand to read the news. Everything I read is worse than the previous thing. But is it ethical for me to disengage and only read things that protect my mental health? Just not sure I will make it thru the next 3.5 years with my mind still intact otherwise

Mark my word, if & when the preachers get control of the Republican party, and they're sure trying to do so, it's going to be a terrible damn problem. Frankly, these people frighten me. Politics & governing demand compromise.These Christians believe they're acting in the name of God, (B Goldwater)

Just downloaded some photos from our trail camera. We had fox babies down by the fire pit in May! Wonder if they stuck around the neighborhood. So cute!

One of the things I hate most about the Dump Regime is that its' made me into a hate-filled person. I wasn't this way until recently. I've always been an empathic person but these days when I read an article about a Dump supporter whose spouse is picked up by ICE, I feel little. Maybe I smile a bit

Dump has made us insignificant on the world stage.

Fascinating that young adolescent males from other species can exhibit destructive behavior out of sheer boredom, just as ours do.
Researchers puzzle over rash of baby monkey kidnappings
Young, male capuchin monkeys have started kidnapping the babies of nearby howler monkeys. Why? Maybe boredom.

9 white men, wearing same color suit as Dump, MAGA hat in front of each. Checked photos of Biden & Obama cabinet meetings; they all had briefing papers/binders on the table in front of them. Amazing visual of the difference between Dump Regime & prior Administrations. A tableful of empty hats.

The mysteries of cat-sitting when you're not a cat person. Does this look mean "feed me!" If so, why does he sniff and walk away?

“Bending to the whims of a bully will not end his cruelty. It will only embolden him. The response to authoritarianism isn’t acquiescence. Bullies respond to one thing, and one thing only: a punch in the face.”

Lithuania's president honored our 4 fallen American soldiers today as they were taken to the airport for burial on American soil. Dump golfed rather than meet the flight to Dover AFB as President Biden did multiple times. What a disgusting human being he is

If one of Project 2025's stated goals is to "secure our God-given individual rights to live freely," WHY do they choose to only give these "God-given individual rights" to conservative religious people like them? How do they justify that? Preventing my abortion is taking away my individual rights!

We're being led by a cadre of people with ZERO empathy & with a sense of vengeance that is as close to mental illness as I have ever witnessed. We must demand that action before Social Security is destroyed & before 1000s end up homeless & hungry due to loss of Medicaid & other assistive programs
