Playing on repeat: Call it Democracy #BruckCockburn as relevant as in ‘85 when I was a baby #activist

“Padded with power here they come
International loan sharks backed by the guns
Of market hungry military profiteers
Whose word is a swamp and whose brow is smeared
With the blood of the poor”

“The Trouble w Women”

#WIP almost finished.

Sorry about the image being a bit blurry. The universe has dark humor--I’m left-handed; she’s bestowed me with a #tremor in the same hand. 🤷🏻

Can’t believe this little dude is 14!

Thank me later. 💜

I met this babe a few days ago. She lives in #Montauban, France. As hot in person as she is in photos.

This is your take-a-break moment from everything Circus Muskrat-tRumpus.

How about viewing a lovely photo from #Pèrigueux, #France in the heart of the #Dordogne.
