Mrs. Bowers, please watch your language. I would not call him a president.

Really nice capture.

Chicago!! what about sidewalks and streets? The State, County, or municipality owns them, and the right to patrol them.

I like the north side of the Gorge for spring wildflowers and wine, and the south side for drier grassland plants. Beacon Rock is STILL on my to do list.

Bear Gulch Fire near Lake Cushman, WA. Photo from 45 miles away in Steilacoom, WA. The fire is now at 16,000 acres, burning in the wet Olympic Mountains which don't normally burn in large, raging, extremely hot fires. US Forest Service no longer has enough resources to fight fires.

Huge plume of smoke from the Bear Gulch Fire turns pink at sunset. Puget Sound and McNeil Island are in the foreground. WA State Dept of Corrections Special Commitment Center for sexually violent prisoners is located on the island. Trump has a reservation there.

This is what happens when justice serves power instead of people.

Banksy’s latest piece shows a judge beating a protester. They rushed to throw up barriers to hide it.

We need this here because it looks a lot like our own Supreme Court vs. the people.

What should you do when you’re stopped by the police? DC’s young people break down your rights when interacting with law enforcement.

Remember — knowing your rights is a great first step, asserting them is even better.

There is, as of right now, no coverage of this protest on the WaPo website or in their @washingtonpost.com feed.

So, if you (you reading this) want people to SEE this protest, you must share it.

People from all over are showing up for DC. This is not a moment. It’s a movement. We are united in our demands. We are all DC! #FreeDC

Heads up, Washington folks. Print the order out and bring it with you in case the pharmacist needs convincing. I just made my booster appointment for Saturday at a Safeway pharmacy (RIP, Bartell) - lots of slots still available.

Is that the heroin injecting lane or the dead bear eating lane?

That's bogus. In WA go to Fred Meyers. Safeway refused me in May, and I went down the street and got one. Then changed my prescriptions to Fred Meyers.

Your allegory is understood. My mother with Alz aged rapidly in memory care. She looked in the mirror and truly did not recognize herself, 'Who's that?' People don't understand how bad Trump's dementia has gotten. He is running on old skills from memory, while staff runs the show.

Question from south of the border: Can Albertans go to another providence and get a vaccine? Length of travel aside, I'm just curious how your health system works. I was refused a COVID vaccine in WA state where I usually get one - by the pharmacist at Safeway. I had one less than one year ago.

As much as I hate Trump, I know the dementia is not within his control. Those close to him know how bad it has gotten, so the GOP must be making leadership plans. I truly fear the consequences of his dementia. This changes the political implications for 2026. www.alz.org/alzheimers-d...
