donny is destroying our democracy, replacing it with fascism supported by his oligarchs. Protesting in large numbers limits the amount of destruction and voting eliminates it. June 14 is the No Kings protest and I hope you can show up. #Washington #Sequim ##Resist #NoKings @ClallamDems.bsky.social

Protests in Serbia proves that we need large numbers to get the attention and actions We The People demand. Join your local #Indivisible organization. If one does not exist then start it. You can get details from indivisible.org

Our own life has to be our message. - Thich Nhat Hanh

People of influence who see the valuing of hate and pain being driven by the few and do nothing are enablers of hate and pain. That is their message.

With all the horrific political turmoil in my country I cannot separate my outrage from my beautiful experience with mother nature. I am focused on my grandkids future... Therefore I fight! #nature #photography #PNW #Washington #OlympicPeninsula #LakeCrescent #OlympicMountains #OlympicNationalPark

Yesterday I was at a town hall with Rep Emily Randall. The room was supportive and ready to fight donny and idiots. The sense of the constituents is that we had enough of donny and want change now. Plan, Mobilize, Protest and Advocate. @reddogmn.bsky.social #Resist #PNW #Washington #ClallamCounty

Please protest today to articulate our situation!

We all must stand up and show up at local protests to stop this destruction being led by donny! Don't let a protest opportunity pass you by.

donny and idiots destroy relationships with our allies, embarrass a president trying to defend his nation against a tyrant and steal money from our precious national treasures (national parks). We protest. #PNW #Washington #OlympicPeninsula #PortAngeles #OlympicNationalPark @reddogmn.bsky.social

I remember the joy from my first walk in the mountains. That feeling has never left me. I will always return to the mountains.

It is important to speak out in numbers. We must all stop this fascist takeover by donny and idiots. This was the Indivisible sponsored protest in Port Townsend

I thought of the Olympic Mountains as mine. I'm wrong! They are an extension of me and you. I own them as you do... all of us... Regardless of your current location. Aren't our mountains beautiful?

Political social acceptance or silence puts all of us in extreme danger at this time of normalized chaos. With donald and crew of imbeciles we must all speak up and take action to keep the US and world safe.

My hiking microspikes have been my friends for many decades. This photo was taken yesterday morning on Mt Walker.

Sorry for those that liked my deleted post without a pic 🤪.

When we lived in #Poulsbo we found it to be a very picturesque place to live. We became part of the local community and thrived in the quirkiness.

It was time to recenter from the chaos caused by elon, donny and all who support them. Port Townsend is a beautiful small town and in the winter it seems to slow down for us. The snowdog was a wonderful surprise.

Lake Louise (Canadian Rockies) is a beautiful place to be in early spring. I didn't do all my homework as many mountain trails in the park were closed due to avalanche danger but the views... Breathtaking.
