Enjoys long walks in the woods, eating ticks, democracy, Ukrainian sovereignty, and the United States constitution.
In these divisive times, I want to point out good people. I was just at the grocery store and apparently dropped my wallet while going through the self-checkout line
A random woman caught up with me as I was leaving the store and handed it back to me. That could have cost me thousands. She saved me

Just for those who may be a little confused: This is how an American president should treat Putin.

Fuck trump.
"Peace" is not acceding to the unprovoked aggressor's land grabs when the invaded country is not even part of the discussion. That's complicity in war crimes and the murder of civilians; and also the antithesis of our country's so-called exemplary values.

Fox News Reporter Jacqui Heinrich: The way that it felt in the room was not good. It did not seem like things went well. And it seemed like Putin came in and steam rolled, got right into what he wanted to say and got his photo next to the president and then left

Anyone want to speculate what this incompetent clown show of an administration is going to do next?
I seriously don't, because each day (even hour) is worse than the preceding one.

🇺🇸 Tourists at a hotel in Anchorage stumbled upon documents from the US State Department.
👀 Among the findings were a summit schedule, contacts of American officials, a lunch plan, and even a gift from Trump (a bald eagle statuette) that he did not present publicly + Menu.

Tariffs.
Stock market down.
Medicaid slashed
Secret police throwing anyone who looks Latino in unmarked vans.
National guard and marines deployed in LA.
No end to the wars in Gaza or Ukraine
Bombing Iran
This is the worst first six months of any presidential term in my lifetime.

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

Long story, but I just ordered a decent starter camera and some kit for a friend's kid. She couldn't afford to do it, but told me how much he wanted it. I love doing anything to help people get into photography if they're interested.
It won't be delivered until ~6/30, but both are really excited.

A friend of mine has coined the term “Pinocheting” to describe what the government is doing to these prisoners.
Stop calling it deporting, so MAYBE more Americans will get it. "Deporting" is sending someone back, after due process, to the country they came from, where they arrive a free person. This is human trafficking to a foreign torture prison for the rest of their lives. GET THE LANGUAGE RIGHT.

Oh, deer god - I just ordered an Olympus 150-600mm lens with red dot sight and filter.
I have no excuse to not get off my ass and step up my photography game now. (it WAS 26% off though... lol )

A lot of us have probably done ill-advised drunk posts/texts to our exes or dumb jokes with mispelled words.
I would expect the Federal Executive has a little more decorum and dignity than a drunkend possum on the internet, though.

This "WHO'S NEVER COMING BACK" document published by the White House should be "EXHIBIT A" in any forthcoming hearing where a judge/justice has asked the White House to prove how it is "facilitating" the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

I went to El Salvador hoping to meet with Kilmar and check on his well-being, and I had the chance to do that last night.
Our courts have been clear: this was an ILLEGAL abduction. I’m speaking now about my meeting with Kilmar and our work to bring him home:

Soo..... is he proposing indentured servitude or... ? Ok, let's go with that. I definitely want burnt out, pissed off people with 29 years under the belt in safety-sensitive positions.
Do these people even think for a second before spewing their script? Also, what's up w/all the fake tans?
