Apple Maps is not showing this. So curious. Are we able to find the other ICE facilities on Google or Apple maps? Is this being supressed?

What a tool. He has been blessed to not have cousins, siblings or childhood friends suffering from illness. I hope he opens his eyes and makes a big donation to the Ronald McDonald house after this.
A snippet from the Wikipedia page about the Ronald McDonald house. It says that the Ronald McDonald house system was established in 1974, and goes on to give details about the global locations.

Democrat party, the frog is our new mascot.

I mean, look at this!
Screenshot of the map listing all of the October 18 No Kings rallies. It shows layers and layers of blue circles marking rallies in almost every county in the US.

The map from the registration site is inspiring. See you all there.
Screenshot from me No Kings protest website showing all of the official no Kings marches happening on October 18, 2025. The US map is full of overlapping blue circles from coast to coast. It’s amazing to see every county in the US hosting a protest. There’s even two marches in central Mexico.

From the day of the incident:
Screenshot about Dunn, the man who threw the submarine sandwich at the Secret Service officer in Washington DC. It’s an entire thread of puns, starting with: I did see a good comment about it, though, describing him as “the gyro we needed; Pitaful; it’s naan of our business; I don’t see what Olive the hubbub is about; join the club; the wurst of humanity

This part makes me so very sad.
Only 29% of baby boys are being read to?
A screenshot from the article about the drop in parents reading to children. It mentions the gender disparity related to little boys under two years old. Only 29% of little boys under two are being read to, and 44% of little girls.

The drive up the California coast into Oregon is so beautiful. Redwoods on one side of the car, ocean on the other. And several volcanoes are just outside my circle to the east.
A map showing the California coast and the Redwood national and State Park, the Shasta Trinity, national Forest, and the border between California and Oregon. Just below Medford is the town of Ashland, the home of the Oregon Shakespeare Festival.

If anyone is still confused why the Republicans are attacking universities. They admit, being educated makes you more likely to vote in all elections. They don’t want you to do that.
A screenshot from the Politico article, it’s a quote from RJ Hybben, the leader of the Wisconsin college republicans. He says “I don’t think Elon hurt” the election. Instead, he blamed the Democrats advantage in special elections, owing to a more highly educated base that shows up in off years. Wait didn’t this guy just get one of the million dollar checks??

We are here ⬇️ You may not consider private security to be “paramilitary,” but we should!
It is a constitutional emergency when our official police is deputizing any private *armed* group to support official court proceedings.
Page 42 question number six from Timothy Snyder’s book “On Tyranny” (Crown, 2017) It reads “when the men with guns who have always claimed to be against the system start wearing uniforms and marching with torches and pictures of a leader, the end is nigh. When the pro-leader paramilitary and the official police and military intermingle, the end has come.

My timeline has a message for me apparently
Screenshot from the Bluesky timeline showing two posts. The top post is a piece of hand embroidery that says “boys will be boys” except the second “boys” is crossed out and instead Reads “held accountable for their fucking actions” the second post shows Fergus’ message to the world about snakes sewing

Page 47 from the book “on tyranny” by Timothy Snyder. Show shows topic seven : be reflective if you must be armed. It reads “if you carry a weapon in public service, may God bless you and keep you. But know that evils of the past involved policemen and soldiers finding themselves, one day, doing irregular things. Be ready to say no.”

@timothysnyder.bsky.social I have a college sophomore taking a political thinking course. I’m loving watching him make the connections from ancient philosophers to US founders to our modern political climate. Your book On Tyranny has given us many rich concepts to discuss together. Thank you.
Page 111 from Timothy Snyder‘s book “On Tyranny” It reads: 19 Be a patriot. Set a good example of what America means for the generations to come. They will need it.

Same vibe

It’s all just 😞😞😞
A screenshot from the blue sky app. Two posts are shown. The top post sharing that there’s been another school shooting on December 16, 2024. The bottom post shares that CEOs of companies are afraid to go back to work after the CEO was shot. So imagine how school kids must feel.

Oh Dana, this timeline 😞
Screenshot of a blue sky timeline showing a post announcing a school shooting today, three people deceased on December 16, 2024. The post to be below it shares how CEOs of companies are afraid to go back to work because they are worried they might be shot at work. And the poster Dana Goldberg makes the point that this is how school aged kids feel.

My cat Shadow loved baths and water play. Now she’s just tucked away in my heart.
Photo shows a backyard setting. There is a deep children’s pool filled with water. There is a fluffy black cat sitting on the edge of the pool , mere centimeters from touching the water. A bit of tail floof is in the water. The pool is actually being used by a fully grown adult who treats themselves to this pool every year.

Success!
Photo shows a bowl of beef stew, with a prominent carrot and potato. The bowl is on a plate and nestled next to it is a piece of cornbread clearly soaked in butter. The plate is on someone’s lap. The person is sitting on the couch, covered in a blanket with a little dog nestled by their feet.

Just a girl stuck in traffic, and so hungry. Eating the bread I meant to serve at dinner because my appointment ran late.
These are the days I’m so grateful when I can have a hot lunch, a good lunch at home.

Every year I feel like the tree is really a present for my cat. She loves it so much
A soft white cat sits under a lit Christmas tree. There is a vintage bedspread used as a tree skirt which she loved. A white cat lounges under a lit Christmas tree looking quite content. There is a red fancy velvet tree skirt that is very soft for lounging under a tree all day.

Afternoon walk, my second walk in four weeks. I’m recovering from pneumonia and today felt like a good day to get out into the crisp sunshine.
Do we have a specific feed for #Where’sTheKitty?
Image shows the front of a single-story home. There is a small window next to a large window next to the front door. There are bushes and grass in the front yard. And a little kitty cat face peeking out of the large kitchen window. He’s soaking in the sunshine, probably sitting on the kitchen table.
