Sign at the No Kings protest that says “It’s a combover, not a crown“

Interesting piece but it had no mention of the fact that US citizens living overseas are required to file Federal tax returns. No taxation without representation… shouldn’t that stop the argument right there??

Three weeks from right now, millions of Americans will gather again to say NO KINGS. As Trump wields government power to censor free speech and threaten political opponents, we need to make October 18 a historic day of resistance. Please join us: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i... #NoKings

Wildlife sightings on this morning’s bike ride:

2 raccoons playing in a culvert
1 very dead skunk
1 small pile of bear scat (all I need to see of a bear)
1 rattlesnake curled on the road (no desire to check if it was alive or dead)
4 wild turkeys
Too many prairie dogs to count

Jimmy Kimmel wasn't suspended because of what he said. He was suspended because the FCC threatened his employer.
That's state-sanctioned censorship and it is a GIANT RED FLAG 🚩🚩🚩 that authoritarianism isn’t *coming* it’s ALREADY HERE. Today it's Jimmy. Tomorrow it's the rest of us.

I saw a freight train go by today, and all I could think was, America’s rolling stock is a laughing stock…

It was slow and creaky and looked like a relic from the past… #infrastructurefail

It doesn’t get much better than sipping a hot chocolate on an August morning that is most definitely trending toward fall while preparing for my #kidlit critique group!

Remember as a kid when you and your friends would “ride bikes”? That’s the feeling of a great gravel ride…

We are a nation under duress. People are being taken from their homes, from grocery stores, from safe places. People with no prior criminal history. People who have active cases for citizenship or asylum.
