“What are we defending, and from whom?”
The ultra wealthy from “the poors”. Why do the ultra wealthy think they need protection? Because they love money more than anything and would lie, cheat, steal, or kill to get it and so assume everyone else would to. Therefore we MUST be plotting against them.

With beloved Portland frogs currently winning the hearts & minds of the American public, perhaps you'd care to learn from @opb.org about their siblings & the help they get avoiding the fate of Frogger from Portland's volunteer-run frog taxi, which helps Northern red-legged frogs cross the road 🐸🚕

‘The Evergreen’: Portland’s ‘frog taxi’ helps amphibians cross the road

Teams of dedicated volunteers are on-call from late winter to early spring to help Northern red-legged frogs safely cross Highway 30 to get from Forest Park to the Harborton wetland, where they breed.

A nice circumhorizontal arc (informally known as a fire rainbow, which is a misnomer) over West Virginia captured by Christa Harbig!

It is an optical phenomenon belonging to the family of ice halos, so it is neither fire nor a rainbow.

$The image shows a circumhorizon arc (or circumhorizontal arc), an optical phenomenon resembling a fiery rainbow. It forms in a clear sky with cirrus clouds made of flat, hexagonal ice crystals aligned horizontally. These crystals refract sunlight, creating a colorful arc parallel to the horizon. Vibrant colors shine brightly against the blue sky, captured near North Fork Mountain, West Virginia.$

Yeah it’s real sad there’s no stores left because of the fires. I have had to start ordering all my black turtlenecks from antifa.store

Trump: "Portland, I mean -- every time I look at that place it's burning down. There are fires all over the place. When a store -- there are very few of them left -- but when a store owner rebuilds a store they build it out of plywood. They don't put up storefronts anymore. They just put wood up."

They shut down the government with a partisan plan that has us barreling toward a national health care crisis — and they won't even come to the table.

Oh, and House Republicans have been on a paid vacation for weeks. They just don't give a damn about anyone other than their billionaire buddies.

White House declines to engage Democrats as shutdown drags into second week

The White House has yet to engage Democrats on ending the government shutdown, despite the potential political ramifications of the closure.
