Washington residents! Tell the Dept. of Ecology TODAY that there needs to be a public hearing for Sabey Data Centers' desired addition of new diesel generators in Quincy.
More pollution, more emissions...shouldn't the community have a say?

"The reason why this is of concern, is—he's the president of the United States, he's been found in another case by a civil jury to have been liable for sexually abusing a woman in a department store, he's a convicted felon, and he's had dozens of women accuse him of sexual abuse."

Just a reminder, the coward who refused to accept an election loss in 2020 and then committed crimes trying to overthrow that election will certainly cheat, abuse his powers, and break the law to try to win the 2026 & 2028 elections.
He’s a real threat to democracy. Believe it.

Before I tried UV, I worked in a different 'invisible' light, Infrared.
I started doing infrared macro flower portraits, like this clematis seed head, during the 2020 pandemic isolation.
People are often still drawn to this one amid all my colorful UV work. I agree, sometimes minimalism is best.

NEW: Dems easily flipped the sheriff's office in Pennsylvania's Bucks County, a big swing county in the Philly suburbs.
So? The incumbent GOP sheriff had contracted with ICE. His Dem challenger promised to end the contract.
Now he wants other swing-state Dems to look at his victory as a lesson:
