Today on I75 southbound in Michigan south of Big Mac, not too far from Sea Shell City, there was a billboard with the eyes and part of Dumps orange face with the word CRUEL across it. Couldn’t get a shot of it, but hopefully someone in the area can and post it!

Love Lake Superior. Makes me remember how small and insignificant humans are individually, but what havoc we can wreak when we ignore nature -- and those who only want it for their private profit.

What truth from an outstanding woman.

And if you live in the US, you fly the US flag as you always have, with the Canadian and Ukrainian flags flying proudly on the same flagpole.

We all need this reminder from time to time. Thanks!

It's getting harder and harder to find fair news coverage.

NBC just gutted the very teams that gave marginalized voices a seat at the table—then called it “restructuring.”

The cuts:

📌NBC BLK (Black community coverage)

📌NBC Latino (Latino community coverage)

📌NBC Asian America (Asian American community coverage)

📌NBC Out (LGBTQ+ community coverage)

There is no bottom to the lowliness of their behavior.

The most reckless, stupid administration E-V-E-R. Nothing comes close.

What a sprint! I'd be looking to see if they have any video of this challenging event, I'd want to keep it as proof of my running prowess!

Mimi @mimipurple.bsky.social · 17h

Thanks for sharing this beautiful photo and kind thought.

Seems much more fun than, "Wow, you have challenging veins, ma'am."

Our small very red town had between 200-300 people! Great turnout, even in the rain.

Of course not. Everything he does is wonderful (or at least they have to express that).

Republicans can’t believe that Dems would do something for the love of their country without requiring payment.
Something they would never do and a concept they will never understand.

The only "pay" I received was lots of 'thumbs up' and friendly horn honks! I felt well compensated.

Mimi @mimipurple.bsky.social · 1d

My pearls and I believe these ADULTS were responsible for their actions. Sorry the GOP lacks morals.

Mimi @mimipurple.bsky.social · 1d

The GOP is brilliant like that, aren't they?

Mimi @mimipurple.bsky.social · 1d

Very cool. But don't forget all the hundreds of small towns that held rallies as well. Our small very red town had between 200-300 folks show up in the rain!

Mimi @mimipurple.bsky.social · 1d

There was one in Belgium as well, in Brussels.

Mimi @mimipurple.bsky.social · 2d

We had music, laughter, chanting, sign waving, dancing, snacks, and a rousing good time despite the rain. I brought extra umbrellas, small American flags and a lot of energy. Lots of supportive horn honks, a few thumbs down, but overall a wonderful rally of a few hundred. In a small RED town!
