#WeThePeople have spoken... and will CONTINUE to speak out and fight against the #regime and the #tyranny!

Picture of Donald Trump overcome by a blue wave of water, with text: "Democratic Victories Tonight: Abigail Spanberger (Governor of Virginia), Mike Sherrill (Governor of New Jersey), Zohran Mamdani (Mayor of New York City), Aftab Pureval (Mayor of Cincinnati), Ghazala Hasmi (Lieutenant Governor of Virginia), Jay Jones (Attorney General of Virginia), 60-seat+ majority in Virginia House of Delegates, Alicia Johnson (Public Service Commisioner of Georgia), Peter Hubbard (Public Service Commisioner of Georgia), Pennsylvania Supreme Court. This is a clear sign that a blue wave is coming in the 2026 midterms, so any Republicans who are now enabling Trump better start packing their bags now!"

In addition to other peaceful protests, it is time for a relentless & continuous protest at our nation's capital. To expect changes with less than our best voice would be foolish.

Know your #protest rights! Stand up for #democracy ... and #resist #tyranny and #dictatorship! And as always, stay safe!

Sign titled "Know Your Protest Rights" lists the following: #1 You don't need a permit to protest in response to breaking news and you don't need a permit to March in the streets or along sidewalks, as long as you're not obstructing traffic or access to buildings. #2 When you are lawfully present in any public space, you have the right to photograph anything in plain view, including federal buildings and the police. #3 If you believe your rights have been violated, when you can, write down everything you remember, get contact information for witnesses, and take photographs of any injuries. #4 If you get stopped by the police, ask if you're free to go. If they say yes, calmly walk away. #5 If you get arrested, you have the right to ask why. Otherwise, say you wish to remain silent and ask for a lawyer immediately. Don't sign, say or agree to anything without a lawyer present. #6 If you get stopped by a member of the military or any law enforcement officer at a protest, you have the right to remain silent or to tell them that you'll only answer questions in the presence of an attorney - no matter your citizenship or immigration status.

Seeing such messages on federal government websites feels like nothing but #propaganda and #hatespeech. How can anyone believe this message when Republicans are the majority in all three branches of government?

Don't let the lies and fascism drown out the reasonable voices in this country. #resist
Image from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development website, featuring a red warning banner stating: "The Radical Left are going to shut down the government and inflict massive pain on the American people unless they get their $1.5 trillion wish list of demands. The Trump administration wants to keep the government open for the American people."

For everyone traveling to #NoKings #protest today... be aware, be vigilant, be tenacious, be safe.

#Democracy is NOT a #spectatorsport.

The power of the people is greater than the people in power.

Now go out there... and get into #goodtrouble, #necessarytrouble.
"No Kings", June 14. Mobilize. We are a people of principle and honor. We honor our commitments and stand by our allies. We defend against aggression by dictators. We uphold and defend the Constitution. We care for our veterans and children. We respect our neighbors and trading partners. We support a healthy national and international economy. We are the world leader trusted to uphold the stability of rule of law. We are the people of the United States of America. The honor, dignity, and integrity of our country are not for sale. Our government is of the people, by the people, for the people.

Mystic Falls, Yellowstone National Park, 2014. Biscuit Basin Overlook, same hike in 2014.
White waterfall cascades down many levels of rock, surrounded by pine trees. Distance view of Biscuit Basin from an overlook at 7600 feet. A bleak, white geyser field with a river running through it, all surrounded by evergreen lodgepole pine trees.

Only a couple favorites I've taken over many years working at Yellowstone National Park. Worked mostly in the West Thumb area, but the whole region speaks to me. There is no place better than in the mountains, among the trees and wildlife, and soul resonating with the raw nature of life.

As the year winds to a close, I'm reminiscing on what few trips I managed this year and the lack of bear sightings I had. So here is rough video from my last (and favorite!) bears: June 2022, near Calcite Springs, south of Tower Junction.

When reflecting the year as it drifts into history alongside its like, don't lose yourself. Remember and reminisce on the good and the bad equally. They defined our experience. But as we move forward, use them as a ladder, not a cage, to reach for the sky.

While working in Yellowstone Nat'l Park, the sunrises over Yellowstone Lake never failed to take my breath away. Always tried my best to meet the days' first light throughout my years there.

Always be aware, and take care of, the world around you. Next to you are other people also looking to make it through their day. Around you are animals and wildflife doing exactly the same.

We all are not so different.

The neighborhood house finches always love to socialize when I refill their bird feeders. And they never fail to be photogenic!
