Retirement is calling me back into the green mountains with my trusty old camera and a box of film. Will I still be able to do it? Stay tuned, good people.

P.S. - I am not oblivious to the Hell unfolding around us. My film camera is an escape.

I can’t promise that this is the first time a Canadian publisher of a beloved children’s book series has publicly condemned the bloodthirsty US secretary of defense’s use of its imagery to smirkingly defend heinous war crimes. I mean who can say.

Watch this.

Open your eyes to this brutality.

ICE beats up, drags & abducts this disabled visually impaired man.

Now share this.

Everyone must see the brutality of this administration & ask themselves what they are doing to push back.

You have power.

Even sharing this video exerts that power.

Sen. Mark Kelly has piloted a space ship – and a fighter plane into battle.

Pete Hegseth abuses alcohol and has had multiple allegations of abusing women lodged against him. Donald Trump looks directly into total solar eclipses without eye protection and has dodged the draft five times.
