Neighborhood Watch

In February 1777, General George Washington ordered the first mass immunization campaign in American history by mandating that his troops be inoculated against smallpox. He protected the Continental Army from an epidemic that was deadlier than British forces.

249 years later, we have this idiot.

A one man environmental wrecking crew.

It's worth the risk.

Right across the river.

Sabula, IA tornado siren keeps going off, and Savanna, IL kids are out riding their bikes.
The Lena Winslow School where my other house lost half its roof a couple of hours ago. Sounds like Lena got hit pretty bad.
Ope! There's the thunder. Watching the sky, the basement door is open just in case.

He's a goofball.

Another tornado warning, but the lightning is what worries me. Gotta love living in the Midwest.

Hey you know how the Right was laser focused on learning illiberal strategies from Orbán in order to pervert and weaponize the state?

Now is the time to learn from the dismantling of that regime, including a relentless effort to prosecute them for their crimes.

I have a documented bridge phobia. This kinda illustrates it perfectly.
Mississippi River at Savanna Illinois.

I do miss the area where I lived. Green County Wisconsin is beautiful.

Love to see this: A new poll conducted in Hungary has shown that JD Vance's visit to Budapest caused Putin puppet Viktor Orbán's party to LOSE 3% of its support. ⬇️

True story

My little boyo, Kopper. He came to me when he was 4 years old, and we had 8 wonderful years together. Best dog ever!

Some thoughts about the President of the United States speaking about ending a civilization. The president speaks genocide. Anyone who has been involved in that conversation or associated actions would be complicit. And so we too must speak. Not only about crimes, but about their legal punishment.

Please stop saying TACO. We’re talking about an ungodly number of people who could die or maimed. It’s not time for cutesy little internet slang. We have to get away from this bizarre desensitization.

If you like truly disturbing movies Soft & Quiet, on tubi, is not to be missed. I love that women are making these banger horror films. Beth de Araujo, wow! Keep them coming.

Making Duck and Cover great again.

This is why we have a 25th amendment.

So that we can survive the apocalyptic fantasies of a madman.

The water is really up after last week's storms.

Oh, the irony. sHitler's ignorance of history on full display. Next he'll say NO QUISLINGS as he tries to bend the world to his will.

BREAKING: Federal judge rules Trump’s executive order directing federal agencies to stop funding NPR and PBS is “unlawful and unenforceable.”

The most beautiful love story I've ever seen.

I can't believe my baby is 37 years old today. 🥹

Sometimes even the President of the United States must be tried for treason.

So many memories at that park.

I just used “wouldn’t’ve” in correspondence, and I shouldn’t’ve done that.

I grew up hiking the trails at this park, but it really triggered my vertigo today. Do your physical therapy, Nance.

Jesus god if I see one more person talk about how MAGA supporters are becoming disillusioned with Trump without mentioning that literal Neo-Nazis have already worked to radicalize them into the fold and to see Trump as a moderate I’m going to lose my mind.

The normalcy bias in this fucking country is just unbelievable. You can watch people get murdered, witness the constitution getting shredded by the day, hear the tech fascists say, in no uncertain terms, what kind of dystopian hellscape they’re working to create, and be like, oh, I’m sure it’s fine.
