We will not be distracted.
We will not be discouraged.
We’ve got our eyes on the prize.

And we will build the prosperous, free nation for all that we deserve.

The time to organize is now.

Breaking: RFK Jr. has forced out PETER MARKS, the nation’s top vaccine regulator.

In his resignation letter, obtained by the Post, Marks said he was willing to work with RFK Jr on his vaccine concerns — but said Kennedy wishes “subservient confirmation of his misinformation and lies.”

We expected 2,000 people out in GOP-held Greeley, Colorado.

11,000 people showed up.

Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.

AOC: I want to live in an America that guarantees healthcare to every person.

I want to live in an America that has a living wage for every person

I want to live in an America where you have free speech to express yourself and not be afraid of being put on a list or deported.

Operation ICE Ride-Along isn’t going as planned. 🔥

Fox News tagged along with ICE, hoping for an exclusive look at “dangerous criminals.” Instead, they got a whole lot of nothing. No threats, no big arrests—just a community that wasn’t having it. The narrative is falling apart.

I used to think that when global warming truly began to bite, deniers would face reality & we could act. Now I think it's more likely it will lead to a kind of fascism that will respond to global warming by, like, executing everyone who says global warming is real.

Holy moly. MAGA is losing their mind over an uncovered video from 2016 where Donald Trump says people should use the bathroom they feel is inappropriate and speaks out against trans bathroom bills. Feel free to share this so MAGA implodes.

Sometime last week, late afternoon, from my bedroom window. My back windows face due west, so I take oodles of sunset, near sunset, and just after sunset photos.

Just after sunset from my living room window. The moon on the upper left and what looks like a planet down and to the right of the moon. Taken with my iPhone 13 Pro as all my photos these days are taken. I don't even own an actual camera anymore.

People dressed as Nazis are Nazis this isn't a street performance of Sound of Music
“Police responded at 1:12 p.m. to a report that one of the people in the group sprayed pepper spray or mace at a passerby. Callers reported the group was using racial slurs at minorities on the street, shouting about Jewish people and white power and appeared to be armed, police dispatchers said.”

Google came up with this collage, a reminder of two of the many cats I've had over the years. Mostly, you see Taffy (the ginger cat), with Maggie (the tuxedo) making an appearance in 2 photos. Sadly, in the 10+ years they were together, they never got along. 😪

Check out these fun night lights!

The words "night" and "light" are so old the Oxford English Dictionary just lists "Old English" as the date of first use.

"Night light" goes back to 1648 in English, but the first use seems to be in a Dutch book from which I learned two fun things about Dutch: 🧵
