A color, macrophoto of a Robin perched on a branch in Virginia, during late April, 2026. The capture was taken during rain and the photographer snapped the photo at the split second a raindrop fell on the top of the bird's head, making it appear like a "natural" crown. 📸 Dawn Denise Boyer of Gloucester, Virginia

I regret that I have been informed of this too, but only a few hundred thousand times, and only in response to my reckless, heartless mention of a given good thing.

Unsurprising in a regime staffed by, supported by, and in collaboration with multiple heinous hate groups.

Does greed alone really explain all of _THIS_?

Friends, the regime knows they’re unpopular. They *never* expected to win in Nov. They have something else in mind. Power must be taken.

Communication of the problem is important Representative, thank you.

Now we need the same energy DOGE brought to the doors of our institutions last year.

Break it down, take what you need, let the courts sort it later.

Please.

Violence can only be done against something that is alive.

Actions against buildings, machinery, or ideas do not qualify.

The National Science Foundation which funds a quarter of all basic scientific research in the country is being dismantled.

I agree on the condition that we restore public education. An uneducated population in this age of propaganda is ripe for abuse.

RIP Charles Darwin, died this day 1882.

“It is not the strongest of the species that survives,
not the most intelligent that survives.
It is the one that is the most adaptable to change.”

“In the long history of humankind (and animal kind, too) those who learned to collaborate...

Seems there’s always just enough Democrats willing to cross the line on consequential votes like this.

Any woman over the age of 40 and/or experiencing peri-menopause or menopause needs to understand that their HRT therapy is considered to be “gender affirming care” by the regime and is under attack.

That’s why we’ve been having trouble getting our prescriptions filled for the last 15 months.

They are legal-ish in some states CA,CO, (I think) and Canada for sure. Wishing you good health ☀️

Congrats on the big walk! LC is no joke, I’ve just passed the two year mark and am doing much better, but the recovery is non-linear. Second the mushrooms if you can get them, they are invaluable.

It’s easy, if you try.

“AND”

How about we use public funding to build statues, name monuments and institutions after people who pay the most taxes?

Have parties every year and give awards celebrating those who protected the most valuable natural resources?

We must incentivize and recognize participation in the collective.

Man and woman hug each other closely.

Seems like things may have cooled between JD and Erica a bit…maybe Mrs. Vance’s pregnancy had the intended effect.

I’ve been watching clouds and pictures of clouds for very long time, but I’ve never seen anything like this.

And there have been so many unusual formations in the past couple of years in general that they must be attributed to climate change.

Take the beauty where you find it.

The sold the Headwaters to a foreign mining company last night.

Wow. All those warehouse fires are really hitting where it hurts.

I sure hope whoever is setting them realizes the widespread, deep damages they’re causing.

You have gangsters now holding the reins
at the White House. Their ill-gotten gains
from warring and crime
are all on your dime.
It’s high time you dumped Friedman for Keynes.

So punk!

Ho! A real LOL! Perfect way to begin the day!

Excellent start! Now there’s only about 500 more…

A writing teacher I admire taught that plot needs balance in order to be realistic.

So if you’ve got a lot of good happening, you need a proportional amount of bad.

Because so much of what we’re currently experiencing seems like excellent fiction, I think about that a lot these days.
