Aamun polkupyörähdys tarjosi sumuista maisemaa. Palautin kirjastoon seitsemän kirjaa ja lainasin neljä.

#maisema #sumu #syksy #kirjasto

Lähikuva vaaleanpunaisesta kukasta. Taustalla sumuista metsämaisemaa tien kupeessa.

Trump received his COVID inoculation yesterday at Walter Reed Hospital. However, he vehemently urges his followers not to get the jab.

Can someone please explain the rationale behind this?

"The original #NoKings protest was 250 years ago. We've had democracy since then. Now we have a would-be king who wants to take it away—King Donald the First. Fuck that. Stand up and be counted in the nationwide No Kings protest on October 18."

“I never understood the idea that you’re supposed to mellow as you get older. Slowing down isn’t something I relate to at all. — I’ve done all kinds of things I said I wouldn’t do and, of course, now I’m glad. Thrilled.”

Border Patrol & ICE operating under Trump regime directives have repeatedly attacked and detained US citizens violating their civil rights and human rights. Regime agents have also been caught falsifying reports, destroying evidence to cover up their actions. #3E 🧵

"A future president, even dumber than you, will allow Qatar, the country that harbored Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the architect of the plane attacks in NY, PA, and DC today, and whose royal family will help him escape capture by the US, to build a military base on US soil to train Qataris to fly jets."

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.

Schatz: They’re stopping wind and solar because this guy has some very strange ideas about the energy mix. And it’s consistent with the rest of his political and economic philosophy — if there’s less of everything, it gives him more authority to dole out favors

One great aspect of iconic inflatable costumes (aside from how they instantly undermine propaganda about war zones) is that it's useless to arrest the person wearing one. Cuffing a frog would make law enforcement look pathetic. And carting one off just guarantees that more will show up the next day.

The brave Secretary of War who had US service members literally rolling out the red carpet for Putin will now have them cleaning toilets on a Qatari Airforce base in Idaho. You think operational maintenance and housekeeping isn’t part of the deal Kushner cut? America First, baby.

WGN, this woman’s employer, is now reporting she was not charged with any crimes and was released.

DHS said earlier she was arrested for assault for throwing objects at agents.

Another weekend, another horrific shooting. 4 people have been killed and 12 people injured in a shooting after a Mississippi homecoming game.

As this tragedy shows, violence doesn’t just occur in big cities. Even a small town like Leland is not immune.

The problem? Easy access to guns.

The small town of Leland, Miss., was rocked by the shooting, which took place late Friday.

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.
