I always love seeing and trying to capture hummingbird moths every summer. Didn't see as many as normal this year but I thought this one was beautiful. #BlueSkyArtShow #Small #BlueSkyPhotography #BlueSkyPhotographer #NatureLovers

Remarkable: Rep Chrissy Houlahan, one of the Dems that Trump called for executing, tells me her office literally filled out a Capitol Police threat report that listed "the president" as the person making the threat.

Trump’s Angry Tirade Calling for “Death” to Dems Just Backfired Badly
As Trump’s call for the execution of “seditious” Dems works against him, Rep. Chrissy Houlahan, one of his targets, explains why she and other Dems are warning servicemembers against carrying out ille...

Rewarding a dictator-aggressor always leads to another war. One that is usually even worse.

The President of the United States is publicly calling for the political prosecution of his political opponents, urging the death penalty because they urged soldiers to uphold the rule of law.
This should be front page news everywhere. It is not, which tells much about how we got to this point.

Great read from Dan Rather:
"...The very existence of a free press is a threat to this president’s modus operandi, which is to govern by lying. Why would he want people around him who ask for facts and truthful answers?..."

Being in nature is healing to the heart and mind, but being on the seashore has double the effect. A more primal connection, something about where we came from? There's also the thought that this same water touches many lands, connecting us with other worlds. And so many birds!
"You never know what peace is until you walk on the shores... the Sea keeps its mighty tryst with the little land it loves. You find your soul then. You realize that youth is not a vanished thing but something that dwells forever in the heart."

@gopcrimes.bsky.social @reclaimamerica.bsky.social #Senate The entire Senate should come to the defense of any Senator, regardless of party, when one of their own is attacked with potentially life-threatening calls for their death. Public servants must serve without fear!
When a President calls for the death of lawmakers protecting the oath military members take to the Constitution (NOT the President), you are watching a full-blown Constitutional Crisis. This is the ultimate test of our democracy. We cannot look away.
