Mundus sine caesaribus.

Taken on my phone (S22+) this afternoon while walking to the store on a quiet, non-descript neighborhood street. Stopped me mid-step. Zero post-processing. Colors and composition reminded me of Edward Hopper's works.

Immigrants didn’t just build America, they are the backbone and their labor still helps it run and to continue on. They aren’t the threat, the far right fascist neo-Nazis who were given full power to destroy it all on the basis of racism, hate and greed are the real threat.

2nd Nov. 2025 marks the 25th anniversary of the ongoing human presence off-world.

That is, humans have continuously occupied the ISS for exactly 25 years today.

So if you're <= 24 years old, you've never lived in a world where humans were *only* terrestrial-based.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.

How things have changed. What was once recognized as a source of great strength now is being maligned.
JD Vance: “We have let in too many immigrants.”

President Reagan: “Being a beacon of the world for immigrants is one of the most important sources of America’s greatness.”
