Like you I am celebrating Tuesday's victories. However, my job is not to sugarcoat things and tell you it's all fixed. It is to warning about what to expect next and fight back.

That is why I wrote this and why I hope you read and share. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/what...

"The message New Jersey has sent is clear. Democracy is alive and well in America. Voters still embrace good candidates who speak to their concerns. There is a limit to what they will tolerate from Trump." Tom Malinowski on Gov.-elect Mikie Sherrill.

To me, it’s much easier to see that what’s really wrong with American culture right now is the slow-drip infusion of toxic masculinity it’s been receiving since 2016, the year of the “Grab ’em by the pussy” leak, and “Trump that bitch,” and “Such a nasty woman.”

For the second time in a little over a week, ICE officers reportedly shot someone in Los Angeles.

This time, it was a US citizen who ICE officers shot from behind after he warned them that children would soon gather for the bus where they had pulled over a vehicle.

Deep shadow inside a Giant Sequoia - damaged by fire. Photo from 2023 - Kings Canyon National Park (near Yosemite)

**Description of the Sequoia Tree in Kings Canyon National Park**

You’re standing before a colossal giant—an ancient sequoia tree, towering hundreds of feet into the sky. Its trunk is impossibly wide, easily as broad as a small cabin, and deeply furrowed with thick, vertical grooves. The bark is a mix of warm reddish-brown and charcoal black, the latter likely from surviving past forest fires. Despite the scars, the tree stands proud and alive, a testament to centuries of resilience.

At the base, a large hollowed-out section opens like a cave, big enough for several people to stand inside. This natural alcove is dark and smooth inside, shaped by time, weather, and fire. The air around the tree is cool and earthy, filled with the scent of pine needles and damp wood. A fallen log lies nearby, its surface soft with moss and decay, reminding you of the cycle of life in this ancient forest.

Surrounding the sequoia are other tall conifers, their green needles forming a high canopy that filters sunlight into dappled patches on the forest floor. A simple wooden fence encircles the area, guiding visitors respectfully around the tree without disturbing its roots. The atmosphere is hushed, reverent—like entering a natural cathedral.

Where's Trump? Hosting a Halloween party while tens of millions lose their food stamps. And golfing.
