Today is the 251st anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops.
I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III.
Remind you of anyone?
clouds in the sunset with bright silver-white sun reflections along the edges of the cloud formation
I love clouds, pictures of the sky are what it's all about. You might even call them the silver lining. Where I live they are anyways.
It's a bear eating a salmon no it's a chihuahua running with a taco
An infrared photo of the sky with twisty, complex patterns in the clouds.
An accidental shot. I must have triggered this when carrying the camera. I don't know the names for cloud formations, but there's a lot going on in this sky.
#Stunday #infrared
A dark band of cloud, backlit by the sun, hangs in a yellow & grey sky. The muted horizon is capped by grey & white clouds. The foreground is shadowy outlines of conifers. The whole scene has a warm sunny morning glow to it.
#Sunrise #ColourADay #YellowSunday A bright Sunday sunrise to start the day off.
Yesterday morning was peak Saguaro! 🌵 🌼 (13 blossoms?!)

Current status of the Strait of Hormuz dispute
Kaine: "You don't sucker punch somebody in a bar and then blame your buddies when they don't join the fight with you. If the president wanted the support of allies, he should've respected them instead of putting tariffs on their economies and trash talking them."
We have a president who took the nation into a war for reasons he cannot fully articulate, without a strategy for how to respond if Iran did the expected and closed the Strait of Hormuz, and without an exit strategy if Iran doesn’t surrender.
Reminder that Congress can step up and stop this.
It's physical and mental, blows my mind. I had no idea. My mom is the bravest person I know. I wanna be just like her some day. ♥️
I think it's a measure of my own hysteria at this point but I cannot stop giggling at the You Know Whats in this thread.
Now that I am a caregiver for my mom I have acquired enormous respect for all the people working through physical limitations. It sounds like a small thing to folks who haven't been there, but it takes grit and courage to battle the pain and the day-to-day work of recovery. YOU ROCK ♥️
Netanyahu is the Donald Trump of Israel.
The Hungarian election is about Russian oligarchy and its support of the international far right. That’s why Vance is there. He is a node in that network.
Judge Brian Murphy has blocked Noem's attempted termination of Temporary Protective Status for Ethiopians, for violating Admin Procedure Act. (Same issue being argued before SCOTUS April 29 for Haitians and Syrians.)

This isn't a gotcha, aren't they hypocritical. It's an observation that they reject ethical universals. They reject the premise that the rules (moral or legal) apply equally to everyone.
I'd read a piece of historical fiction about a pistol-packing 73-year-old former First Lady taking on the Klan.
How about you file articles of impeachment.
Yanno, flex the powers of Congress, and make some news; try to move public opinion.
Artificial intelligence yeah wow great it's the future etc etc

Humble question for people who know food better than the internet does: @edwardodell.bsky.social @spindlypete.bsky.social I have a shttn of plump frozen summer blackberries, what is the thing to do with them rn? Besides making jam or running them for mayor of DC or throwing shoes at the tv. TNX♥️
Speakers at the park then onto the march. This is just a small section of the multi-block march—Albuquerque.
I know I’m a broken record on this but:
A handful of law profs are engaging in an effort to convince the Supreme Court to accept a reactionary administration’s effort to redefine American citizenship and render countless children stateless.
This is what they are doing to NORWEGIANS, y’all — the very immigrants Trump claims to want more of. Imagine what they are doing to everyone else.
you just said it tho
