Grazer, of Brooks Falls, is my inspiration for the long winter ahead. I took this photo last summer of her with her cubs, one of whom was killed by a male bear a couple of days later. She won the Fat Bear competition despite grieving, nursing, and fishing for 2. Fatten yourself up, democracy lovers.

Every single congressional Democrat needs to be out there, right now, insisting that Pete Hegseth resign right now and announcing that he will be held accountable for committing war crimes.
If you do not demand accountability here and now, they will only become more emboldened.

The fact doomers have gone from "America is over" to "Dems won't hold anyone responsible when this is over" can actually be read as an optimistic signal imo.

National Guard troops don't sign up to be used as political pawns. They sign up to serve their country, not needlessly deploy to American cities to pick up garbage. These two soldiers should be alive right now and at home with their families for Thanksgiving. I'm furious.

Guys. Please stop dropping into my replies on any post that doesn't mention Epstein and accuse me of being distracted. Once you have more lawsuits filed to release the files than I do, we can talk. Until then, I can hold more than one thought in my head. Thanks!

No bailouts. The US should extort these companies when the crash happens so they get minimal compensation in return for nationalizing the entire panopticon industry and then destroying it once harvested for socially useful parts. It won’t happen but it should

I am not going to dive into the back and forth on piracy. I have a side, you can guess what it is.
But I will say one thing: if you get the books from your library, you're still not paying for it and the author does get compensated.
