I’m still bummed about this
When we say slow down, we mean watch for our road crews—not go sloth-spotting! 🦥👀
This morning, our crews removed a giant stuffed sloth “Slothy” from a tree 70 ft up along I-5 in Bellingham.
Yes, really. It took a break in the weather, a 125-ft bucket truck & some true skills.

If democracy dies in darkness, we have seen that the legacy media is willing to turn off the lights. I founded Democracy Docket in 2020 to shine a spotlight on the most important fights for democracy— those taking place in court.

“Ah, just one more thing, sir. You’re blowing up those boats, saying they’re filled with drugs headed for the US. But then you go and pardon the guy who brought in 400 tons of cocaine. That’s billions of doses. Help me understand that.”

Japan’s dragons aren’t like the fire-breathing beasts of European folklore. Instead, temples and natural sites far to the south of Kyoto show the “reality” of these mythological deities.
Chasing dragons across the temples of Nara
In two rural prefectures, dragon myths — and a cave that purports to host some — make for a unique way to explore the Japanese countryside.

So the next time anyone tells you Trump is murdering Venezuelan fisherman because he cares about stopping the flow of drugs and terrorists into America…

…kindly tell them to shove it.

Someone needs to set up a camera so we'll know when Pete Hegseth orders this plaque removed from West Point.

These idiots destroyed what The Economist just a year ago called "The American Economy: The Envy of the World" and said we could "expect that to continue."

What are we waiting for? Them to leave office?

Remember: The oligarchs who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us so they can become more powerful.

They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see where all the wealth and power have gone.

Don't fall for it.

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market.

Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.

Four giants control 80% of meat processing.

A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry.

The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

62 wolves have been killed in Montana since hunting season opened. Killing wolves is neither supported by science nor ethics, yet it becomes a reality when wolves lose federal ESA protections.

As the numbers climb, how many more wolves will be lost without reason?

I'm not a professional commentator. No one tells me what to say and my opinions aren't for sale.

I'm a lawyer who fights for democracy who built Democracy Docket from scratch because we need independent pro-democracy media. For $10 a month you can help it do its vital work. hubs.ly/Q03CbHTt0
