Hope isn't naive. It knows the night is long and the cold is real. But it whispers that light exists because darkness exists, and that every shadow is cast by something brighter beyond.

#AlexAlott was charged with allegedly assaulting a federal officer with an umbrella. Yesterday, she was exonerated because VIDEO disproved the accusation. But Daniel, who attended the trial to support her, was detained the same day that the trial finished.

THIS IS FASCISM. FILM EVERYTHING.

Good, glad you have been safer there today! Don’t know how ICE can deny Senators access. Maybe they need to take a page from Mr T & DOJ and bring some “big beefy guys” with them to open the doors.

Netanyahu is the worst warmonger on earth now, worse than Putin in Russia. Time to finally withhold all offensive weapons from US to Israel.

In the Samaria Gorge on the island of Crete, Greece, lies a very deep cave with a continual cold spring waterfall. To reach it, you have to swim about 100 meters in 10 degree (C) water. I spent time thinking about hypothermia I was so cold. Nice payoff tho.

Walls of the cave direct you to a small bright opening in which a cold mountain spring falls to bright turquoise water.

Along with Denali Mountain and Bryce Canyon, this is the most majestic place I’ve ever been.

My teeth rattling even as I could stand in only waist deep water kept me from fully enjoying it,, but no chance I was missing this just for some discomfort.

It seemed to get progressively colder tho so this is about as close as I got. In later days I’ll post a shot looking back thru the caves. The video I took is really the best indicator of the beauty here but I dunno if I can post that here or not. I may try in the comments later today.

If you rename the Department of Defense the Department of War, then bomb fishing boats in the Caribbean, and shoot an unarmed priest in the head with a pepper bullet, you should automatically be barred from receiving the Nobel Peace Prize for the rest of your life.

Great filming as much as possible! One of the most important things to ask a person being kidnapped by ICE is their name. Although there are more formal ways to ask, the simplest and most immediate way is:

1) Como te llamas?

(Pronounced “coh-moh tay yah-mahs”?)

Helps family locate them later.

The words of the actual announcement are so inspiring, worth reading or listening to if you can find them online.

It listed her many actions qualifying her for the prize and how democracy is essential for peace.

( Made it obvious that Mr T was nowhere close to a winner in this category.)

So sad that our society has devolved into such fake influencers and reality tv people. Difficult to find a genuine smile anywhere in this grifter universe.

Everything Trump is doing now is a preamble for his regime's real goal: to invoke the Insurrection Act.

I don’t want to unduly alarm you, but you need to be aware of this imminent danger. Let me explain what’s going on.
