This is what happens when you comment on a post that Trump is a traitor and in league with Russia.

I deleted Facebook from my phone in January - now Im fixing to get kicked out of the Metaverse.

How easy is it to pose as an FBI agent?

All you need is $5.

Yep. Markets are looking great. 😑
DOW, NASDAQ, and S&P 500 graph all tanking downward from about 10 am on April 10, 2025.

It's a Tuesday. I love cats and coffee and true freedom and American integrity as my father taught it to me.

Today I will breathe in and out and remember there are silky long haired cats in the world who love me.
Fluffy long haired Calico cat sleeping in a blue blanket with her widdle paws folded in front of her. Silhouette of a rooftop, chimney, and tall pine tree with twilight sky in background, one star and a tiny Cresent moon in the distance. Fabulous Mainecoon cat with ears at 45 degrees, yello/green eyes sitting up straight with paws together in front.

The Press used to be protected, and it was a First Amendment priority.

Now people don't know the difference between Journalism and "main stream media" and what's worse is - they don't care.

👺 Spotted in a Planet Fitness parking lot somewhere in Chicagoland:

👀 THIS IS NOT A POLICE CAR.

The website is a 404, doesn't exist. The light bar is NOT red and blue.

What the hell is "Private" Police even supposed to mean? Police are public servants.

Yesterday was warm(ish) and I left the house for adventures. Beef Bulgogi bowls make everything better.

So I am trying to focus more on joy and less on the unfolding American tragedy this week.

Last night I got an Andes mint chocolate shake from Arby's and it was divine.

What are you doing to stay sane?

@stevenav.bsky.social They haven't clarified, and a DDoS attack is a cute little made up story.

I have educated myself, bucko.

It's always fun when you rude folks go and find a "news article" that supports your argument.

I wonder what could cause so many people to visit the site at once? Maybe a poorly written unconstitutional POTUS memo halting all federal grant funding?

Went for a little weekend drive with my youngest, who is prepping to take his Driver's Licensing exam!

Lowden State Park and Cherryvale mall all in one cold, sunny, windy day. #Winter2024
Hexagonal skylight in the ceiling of a two story shopping mall in Northern Illinois, USA. Cream and gray granite tiles in the foreground and shiny, clean, and bereft of shoppers. The statue at Lowden State Park. Often called "Black Hawk", the statue was intended to represent the spirit of all Native Americans looking over the river valley.

This is a wonderful ancestor altar! I have an altar/area devoted to the land spirits in my room. It's full of plants, crystals, and photos of natural spaces in my local river valley. 🥰

Plz disregard towel on floor! 😅

These people protected us, attempted to hold the fascist accountable, and kept us alive through the disasters and pandemic of his last administration. Now they will be arrested, as if this were Germany in 1933.
AI Overview from Google answering the question "when did hitler arrest his political enemies": Following his appointment as Chancellor in January 1933, Hitler began arresting his political opponents almost immediately, with the first major wave of arrests occurring shortly after the Reichstag fire in February 1933; this led to the establishment of the first concentration camps, like Dachau, where political prisoners, primarily communists and social democrats, were incarcerated.
