The image of a much-younger-looking-than-his-age, extremely healthy man.

French President Macron in the Oval Office with the 🍊 💩 who calls himself the US president. Both men are wearing dark suits, white shirts and ties. Trump’s mouth is noticeably drooping on the right side. An inset pic shows a closeup of Trump’s right hand with a large round bruise.

the 🍊 💩 who calls himself the US president wearing dark blue suit, white shirt and red tie. Trump’s mouth is noticeably, significantly drooping on the right side. His eyes appear to be closed. Photo taken during 9/11 commemoration at the Pentagon.

Closeup look at the 🍊 💩 who calls himself the US president. Focused on his hands as he adjusts his suit jacket. There is a large round bruise on his right hand. He is wearing an overly-long red tie that nearly reaches the seat he’s on, a blue suit and white shirt

Also: if you work for ICE, even if you’re not one of the ones arresting citizens or tackling 15-year-olds or zip-tying kids together and segregating them by race, you’re part of the mechanism making it happen, and you should suffer long-term social and post-regime-change consequences.

Some weirdo on Twitter has been absolutely melting down for like 36 straight hours because I posted:

When this is over, do not forget what ICE did, and what ICE is. And do not make room for them in society. Make sure they know that they are, and will continue to be, reviled and beneath contempt.

Large loaf

Large cinnamon and black cat with a thick black stripe down the middle of his back on a pastel green rug, all limbs tucked underneath, resembling a large meat loaf. Ignoring his family, as usual. We are mere staff.

Who walked over to those holding tanks, dipped in a finger and said “mmmmmm, vanilla”?!

Steven Beschloss @stevenbeschloss.bsky.social · 6h

Let’s not forget that every single Republican who stands by and enables Donald Trump could stop this recklessness today, tomorrow or any damn day of the week. Their failure—their refusal—to do so makes them complicit in his crimes and the crimes of his corrupt, lawless regime.

Why the hell not? They’re fine with dying children, starving kids & the elderly, cutting off education access/accommodations for kids with disabilities, why would they give a flying f**k about animals they can’t even see?

There are reports that the *entire* office of special education at the US Dept of Education has been cut. These hardworking folks ensure kids with disabilities get equal access to a quality education.

America’s children deserve better than this.

JFC. Ron DeHaas, founder of the Christian antiporn app Covenant Eyes, has stepped down from NCOSE after his 38-year old son was charged with sexual abuse of a child.

Covenant Eyes is the app used by House Speaker Mike Johnson and his son to monitor each other's internet behavior.

Although Qatar is defined as a semi-constitutional monarchy, the emir holds almost all executive, legislative, judicial power over the government & legislation. It is authoritarian. No political parties, limited citizen rights. The legal system is SHARIA law. They're gonna fit right in to Idaho.

It's really sad how the violence is so pervasive in Portland that they don't even try to bury the war dead.

Around Portland today... someone takes their Halloween extra serious. (sorry for overposting today).
