An all too timely image for today regrettably – little Bruce Trainor of Cincinnati & James Bresham, L.A.

Sons of the Bonus Army WWI vets living in a shanty protesting in an attempt to get the money Republican President Hoover had promised, but not delivered.

Two children of an unpaid veteran in the "Bonus Army" camped out in Washington D.C., sit next to two signs. One sign sits by a donation jar which says, "Hoover's Poor Farm Tobacco Fund". The other sign declares, "Hard Times are Still HOOVERing Over Us"

**On our recent rip to France we saw many headless statues. This one is Saint Stephen's Cathedral of Auxerre **#travel #photography

During the French Revolution (1789–1799) and subsequent republican uprisings, statues of kings, aristocrats and saints were deliberately decapitated as a symbolic act: removing the head was a way to erase authority and dismantle the old regime. Many public sculptures and church images were targeted; heads were easy to pry off and often taken as trophies or political statements.

🪶I'm going with the alt theme for #BirdOfTheDay, which is #funny. Possibly previously posted picture of a pelican asking for the Epstein files, while Republican pelicans studiously ignore him. #birds #photography

Three pelicans are on a fallen tree in a lake, while another is to the right, with its beak wide open. The first three are turned around, backs to the right one, with their beaks closed and pointing down, as if in disapproval.

I went to the #nokings rally in Indianapolis to both participate & do photography. I wanted to share my experience on what I saw / my perspective. As a caveat I was a Republican until Obama. Also, Indiana is VERY red so I knew the rally would be smaller than in larger / left leaning cities. Here's

Anti-fascism is a family tradition and as American as apple pie. Here’s a picture of my father, Peter Higbie, who dropped out of college in the middle of World War II to join the fight against Nazis. He wasn’t a radical. He was a Republican most of his life. He would have hated Trump.

Black and white photography of a young man in U.S. military uniform and helmet, rifle over his shoulder, standing by a sign that reads “Wurzburg.” Caption reads: Pete Higbie, Kitingzen, Germany. Probably 1944 or early 1945.

Community Protection Broadcast

@cpb.works

How quickly MAGA mobilized for retributive violence, blaming Charlie Kirk’s death on Leftists, Trans folks, Black & Brown folks, immigrants, etc… before Kirk was even pronounced dead.

Not 24 hours later, and already their whole narrative has fallen apart, and they don’t know what to do, because…👇🏾

Photos of Tyler Robinson taken in late 2022 by Cher Houston Photography, via FOX News. Booking photo inset.

Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson with his dad Matt Robinson.

"The person, most probably his father, was involved with law enforcement, but was a person of faith, a minister, and brought him to a US Marshal who was fantastic. They drove into the police headquarters, and he's there now. We have the person that we think is the person we're looking for." Trump said, as quoted by the BBC, citing Fox News.

Who Is Matt Robinson?
Charlie Kirk Murder Suspect Tyler Robinson's Father Who Turned Him In

Edited by: Megha Rawat
Updated Sep 12, 2025, 20:41 IST

Matt Robinson, the father of Tyler Robinson, has been highly praised as the "father of justice" for turning his son in after the shooting of Charlie Kirk at Utah University.

Congresswoman says she will try to pray for suspect 'to find Jesus Christ'
Outspoken Republican lawmaker Nancy Mace struck a forgiving, religious tone, saying that she will try to pray for the 22-year-old alleged gunman.
"We know Charlie Kirk would want us to pray for such an evil and lost individual like Tyler Robinson to find Jesus Christ," Mace wrote on X. "We will try to do the same."

@floridapolitics.bsky.social

@jenniferjenkins.bsky.social already has a proven track record of success flipping strong Republican districts and is a strong advocate of children and families. She is absolutely the right choice to run against extremist, antivaxxer incumbent Moody!

Spot the invisible butterfly! 😁

Somewhere in this photo, a butterfly is drinking nectar from a flower. It's completely invisible, just like Bigfoot, aliens and Republican spines, and not even I can see it, but rest assured it's there. Can you find it? 😉😂
