The separation of church & state exists to protect both religion & democracy by keeping either from controlling the other, lessons learned the hard way after centuries of abuse & persecution, when faith & power were mixed. However, America is now determined to discard the lessons of its history.

FINALLY GOT IT!

I've taken well over 100,000 pelican pictures, maybe 200,000.

Over 20,000 the past month alone.

Today, I snagged "The One That Got Away"

In my infinite optimism, I give you, a very rare:

Fish success story.

The blatant selling of pardons is perhaps the clearest instance of criminal conduct authorized by SCOTUS. Pardons are a quintessential "official act." So, even when Trump takes a bribe to issue one, he is presumably above the criminal law.

U.S. President Donald Trump has appointed Louisiana’s governor as Washington’s special envoy to Greenland.

Denmark, which retains some authority on matters of foreign policy and security for the island, has responded with fury.

Everyone sat around talking about how these people were incredibly stupid and then they managed to successfully implement large swathes of the plan that they all told us they were going to execute and you really have to wonder who is the stupid in this equation

My parents' cat Bridget vanished. As the weeks dragged on they became ever more worried, so to distract himself my dad began to paint Bridget's adventures, imagining her travelling through time and popping up at some of art & music's most important moments.

It is utterly catastrophic that RFK Jr. plans to end CDC recommendations for most childhood vaccines.

It’s a betrayal of science, ethics, compassion, and the people of the United States.

And it was also a specific goal of Project 2025 (page 254).

I need you to listen to and share this story - of how Trump is preparing to abandon Ukraine in exchange for Russian money for his billionaire friends.

It could be the greatest corruption of American foreign policy in our history. Russia gets Ukraine. Trump's friends get rich.

The top priority listed in this document is “Ending Mass Migration.”

Hard to highlight a single passage here—this entire page is a pretty explicit defense of using the state as a means of enforcing white supremacy.

Great Replacement Theory is in the National Security Strategy of the U.S.

In a section titled “Sovereignty and Respect,” the regime says it will fight the “cynical manipulation of our immigration system to build up voting blocs loyal to foreign interests within our country.”

My parents were free-wheeling Boomers convinced things were only ever going to get better, financially. They had good reason, then. They could afford a house, car, and weekly nights out on two full time assistant manager jobs at a fast food chain. But they also got caught up in emulating wealth trap
