You’re “friendly” neighborhood hermit. Dog lover, mom, and political junkie. I love photos of nature. I just never get out in it to take them anymore. 😢 I am prone to typos as I have a disorder called Essential Tremor. I’m a big mess!

Some more shots of my beloved Spanish moss. I wish we had it here in VA!

Trump has now conducted 28 boat strikes, killing over 100 people.

Remember: no judge or jury has found these boats were trafficking drugs. We're simply taking Trump's word for it.

He’s unilaterally acting as judge, jury, and executioner.

This is a danger to us all.

A Trump-appointed judge was so upset with the living conditions in which ICE detained an immigrant in Long Island, New York, that he threatened to hold the government in contempt.

Fuck Marco Rubio and the boat his father snuck into the USA on.
It IS our war. We made a deal with Ukraine that if they gave up their nukes, we’d protect them from Russia.

He's addicted to it.

I was telling my husband about this and got as far as "Trump wants to do a Patriot Games with one man and one woman from each state..." and my 11-year-old, who I didn't even know was listening, said: "WHAT?!?" He was horrified by Hunger Games coming to life.
Today, Trump declared that the nation will host the first-ever “Patriot Games,” an “unprecedented four-day athletic event” featuring high school athletes, one boy and one girl, from each state and territory.

If you think this sounds like The Hunger Games, you're not alone.
Trump just announced his own Hunger Games
In case you needed a reminder that we're living in a fascist hellscape.

There will come a time when people of good faith are empowered to uphold the law.

When that time comes, Illinois will have the testimony and records needed to pursue justice to its fullest extent.

The truth of what Trump and his masked agents are doing in Chicago will be told.
"They had done nothing wrong. They were not protesting. They were not chasing ICE vehicles. They were simply shopping."

NEW: The request to ‘pretermit’ is an effort to toss a person’s asylum claim, leaving them defenseless against deportation to a country they are not from and may have never even entered before: Honduras, Ecuador and Uganda.

Another disgusting move. When he’s out of office, the first order of business is removing everything he put his foul, revolting name on.
FYI: this is the kind of stuff he's gonna do over the next few days to keep attention off the Epstein files, or the fact that Bondi is gonna withhold them.

We now have a bipartisan majority of members of Congress demanding a vote to extend ACA tax credits and keep health care affordable for all Americans.

Speaker Johnson, bring this legislation to the House Floor immediately or step out of the way.

Under a zero tolerance policy, the first Trump administration separated immigrant children from their families at the U.S.-Mexico border.

New data suggests separations now happen all over the country, often after little more than a traffic stop.

Trump's DOJ has been ordered to embark on a sweeping crackdown on "left-wing domestic terrorism." Civil liberties experts warn it could lead to a level of politicized FBI surveillance of Americans not seen since the era of J. Edgar Hoover and COINTELPRO.
