This is the ad Donald Trump woke up furious about.

Would be a shame if it went viral.

Trump’s latest target? The Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, one of America’s last truly wild places. His administration just announced plans to open it up for oil and gas drilling, turning 1.56 million acres of pristine wilderness (home to polar bears, caribou, and migratory birds)

Took my daughter to my local No Kings event. We showed up, held a sign and an American flag. We showed up for those that couldn’t. Her favorite part was seeing all the inflatable costumes. Unicorns, a corn, a polar bear & broccoli all made her smile.

Cancelled my Disney+ subscription. The whole family talked about it and free speech is more important than Bluey or Marvel.

So Colorado are we going bigger to the No Kings Day get togethers? A big “not in my state” energy?

Reading isn’t a competition; even against yourself.

Did you know you can celebrate indie bookstore day everyday? You don’t have to wait for April 26th.
Buy the book, you deserve it.

Denver showed up for the #HandsOff March. I haven’t seen any size estimates but the signs were on point.
“So bad even introverts are here” won from my 2 sided sign. Everyone wanted a picture and to laugh. #denver

Getting ready for a walk by Denver’s capitol today! Seeing images of others going for walks is making me happy. 1,2,3 LGB

The last time somebody who knows Alberto Touetbon saw him, the 16-year-old was wearing black pants and a black sweater with a hood in Pompano Beach.

That was around 8 p.m. on Feb. 21, a Friday.
Have you seen Alberto? He’s been missing for 9 days, Broward Sheriff’s Office says
He was last seen around 8 p.m. on Feb. 21.

Please share!!! This is getting ridiculous—they just can’t accept a loss. Please help spread the word to North Carolina. The North Carolina Court of Appeals ruled in a 2-1 decision that over 60,000 votes cast in last year’s closely contested state Supreme Court race must be verified and recounted.

Peak Sunday lazy - just asked Siri to turn off the living room lights from the couch.
It’s time to cozy in for some reading.

Anyone else calling their representatives to make sure library funding is protected?

Thank you @5calls.org for the script and stats

Is Delray having a Sophie Lark moment, with Home Grown Magic?

Was it really ok to write hateful stereotypes in 2024?
