Me hanging out with a couple of unicorns peotesting in Texas today.
A guy (me) standing between a couple of inflatable unicorns at a #NoKings protest rally in Texas on 15 October 2025. My protest sign reads "This Army Vet took an oath to the Constitution Not A King".

I created a new travel t-shirt for New York City, featuring Lady Liberty in the foreground and the city's skyline in background. (On dark colored shirts the skyline's buildings appears as if the windows are lit up at night.) #nyc #NewYork

Sounds like it's time to use the 25th Amendment.
An EXIT 25A sign. "25A" can also mean "25th Amendment" in some contexts.

This billboard was posted in downtown Houston and stayed there for weeks. It got people talking locally at the time. It can be done again. Put 'em up at freeway intersections in all the big Texas cities plus College Station, which is next to Bryan when Ghislaine Maxwell is being coddled.

Linda Hunt as male photographer Billy Kwan in "The Year of Living Dangerously" (1982). She won a supporting role Oscar for it and it was deserved.
