Let's talk about the midterms.
ICE is terrorizing and punishing blue states and cities to suppress your votes using fear from ICE- yes it's already started.
Blue states need to wake up and have a plan to deploy the National Guard to protect polling stations & voters from the federal government!

According to DHS, about 3,000 ICE and federal agents are operating in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area. THREE THOUSAND! The entire Minneapolis Police Department only has about 580 officers. This is outrageous and unnecessary.
Our tax dollars are funding this abuse, so it’s happening in our name.

"In-Camera" with Canon EOS 5D Mark IV (28-70 f2.8 lens)
1/25 sec at f8.0 and ISO5000 - further developed in LightRoom
Probably took me 25-30 frames to get it all lined up. Still room for improvement but was happy with this outcome.

Good morning! I took this shot on the north shore of Oahu. I named her the "Golden Girl".
A large print of this #dragonfly has been the subject a couple my photography shows.

I don't hate AI. When applied well, It is an excellent technology. It has saved more lives than I could count.
What I hate is: Large Language Models and *GENERATIVE* AI.
