They're hoping you won't look ahead...
immigrant Hey, could I be clearer? If your posts are mostly just re-posts and not your own words -- please look elsewhere. I'm old. I have no time for bullshit.

Bless this judge! We need to get the despicable human beings who are behind this heartless attempt to remove these children out of office.
NEW: Since corporate media won't call for Trump's resignation, I will. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/trump-must...
A perfect example of someone who is clearly scared to say anything that might be construed as a lack of support for the regime. RFK is following the SCIENCE? Laughable if it weren't so tragic. A seriously deranged lunatic whose mental illness doesn't inspire compassion, he is so dangerous.
Together with Heather Cox Richardson, Robert Reich give me hope! open.substack.com/pub/robertre...
How about "mass shooters since 2018 who were white males"? A brief search for info yielded this: www.statista.com/statistics/4...
I am STILL chuckling!
This man is even more dangerous than T**** and his minions! Delusional and drunk with power, he has already done far more damage to the US than even those other cretins. May we be spared another pandemic while he is still around!
When he goes, can we please get rid of Miller and Vought, too? π
Trust me: he IS in prison. No one who has spiraled down that far into dementia is anything but frightened and desperate.
Well, Mr. Chief Justice, there will still be opportunities for you and your Court to make a positive contribution to the situation, (maybe by, oh, I don't know, upholding the SPIRIT of the Constitution), so why don't you just put your actions where your mouth is?
I seriously hope that Newsome had a chat with PM Carney before he posted this -- Carney ROCKS! (Or, I guess the irony is obvious?)
Why the FUCK are they interviewing a fifth-grader?! I'm all for gun control but I'm getting sicker and sicker of the insanity of the media -- ALL media! Is there no decency left? I won't ask about common sense, because clearly THAT is no longer common.
This other stuff is NOT a distraction! It is a steady march towards fascism and authoritarianism! WE can't allow ourselves the luxury of focusing on one issue to the exclusion of awareness of the other horrors we are facing under this regime!
What is your point? Do you hold all the same opinions/beliefs you held seven years ago? That would seem to suggest you might be uneducable...
And how refreshing to see someone who knows how to use percentages! (Just a math refresher: crime can, indeed, be 400% higher in Louisiana than in California, but it is impossible to lower drug prices 1000%)
Can't tell if you're writing ironically, but I actually agree. No percentage in alienating potential allies! It has gotten so that one can't even have an exchange of ideas if the terminology isn't correct. We need to be careful that we don't cancel ourselves right into an authoritarian nightmare.
If the Nobel Committee had any sense of...justice? the absurd? humor?... That would be sublime!
π At least two of my five give me that same look and we live in Costa Rica!
Not enough space! There is no "LEFT" - it's not a monolith. Hate comes from those who are motivated to be assholes. Algorithms. Humans did not evolve to live in boxes, apart from other humans - child rearing is too big of a job to be left to even two people. Kids are loud; people should just deal.
Sending strength and peace ππͺ·
Your work is spectacular! Congratulations for getting the recognition you deserve!
Just in case there was any doubt as to what is going on here: open.substack.com/pub/robertre...
As I write this, there is a report playing about how T**** tore out the rose garden. Funny how observing traditions only applies to "progressives." Oh, and one of the comments about how Ps will never change...but isn't that what marks us as progressives? F-ing hypocrites!
π΄ He wants to start a war βΌοΈ Anyone else not surprised π₯
True, true, true! BUT he's not doing this shit by himself!
Yeah, really not surprised at all.
I watched this one and there's really nothing earth-shattering. But there was another, longer report and that one has been made "private"
WTF is going on here? Why did this get taken down (or made private)?
60 Minutes Australia released a 27 minute episode today on the Epstein files. It was on YouTube and got more than 400,000 views before it was taken down. WTF?
Oh PLEASE, let it be so! I am having such a hard time with all of the MAGA BS! Troops in the cities! Kidnapping people and denying them due process! Will we even have free elections in '26? At least Newsome give us a laugh -- his posts are dead on!
Now that he (or the people pulling his demented strings) have begun to mobilize the military in our cities, I can't see a way to do this. The Repubs will surely not go along. Further, I am not convinced we will even have midterms and, if we do, I don't believe they will be free or fair.
Please listen to @justinwolfers.bsky.social. Boom.
People in cognitive decline regularly engage in confabulation. It may be that T**** actually BELIEVES some of his assertions. But, perhaps more important, who are the people behind him, who prop him up and champion his delusions?
I keep saying this: why aren't we talking more about the OBVIOUS and MONUMENTAL cognitive decline in this man? Why are we allowing him to destroy everything that truly makes our country great?
"It is a truism that democracies die more often through the ballot box than at gunpoint." Our current self-coup is the perfect example of this. But as @hcrichardson.bsky.social points out, there are any number of people and orgs standing up to fascism. Be one of us. Have a great weekend.
I definitely have more fucks to give. I'm just committed to using them judiciously.
My mamma would've called him a crackpot, so I'm doing that in her honor. This is what you get when you have a government run by pathological narcissists and sycophants. Please don't let us have a pandemic while they're in charge!
Susanne Williamson is a teacher with a masterβs degree who has been dedicated to teaching for fifteen years and made $58,000 a year. Meanwhile, ICE is offering new hires $100,000 to start, plus signing bonuses, and student loan debt forgiveness. Weβre not broke! Weβre funding hate!

Decorum also includes showing respect to and listening to the speaker. We need to find out who all the numbskulls are and vote against them in the next election...if there IS a next election...
We need to consistently announce in public forums that, every time T**** talks uses insults and epithets in reference to other people, he is really talking about himself. Doesn't take a degree in psychology to get THAT. This is also true when he makes accusations.
Like you do -- and from afar! Check out the butterfly on my page -- a little bit of sunshine there, for sure!
This is the 88 Butterfly, Diaethria anna! This was a rare opportunity -- I've never seen one stay still for this long! This really is the most magical place.
I have one in my yard in Costa Rica. I saw blooms on it starting a couple of months ago, and there are new buds growing as I write this.
Please disseminate! We can't see it on Paramount outside the US -- this link just worked for us! iwatchsouthparkonline.cc/episode/sout...
Just read the poem. Our people! Fuck borders. open.substack.com/pub/robertre...
Funny story: this plant began blooming a few months ago...I kept finding these long, white flowers kind of closed up that then just wilted away...then last night, on another quest, I happened outside and... Oh, my! In all, this flower is about 22cm wide!
The shame is that Fine is a representative. Censure!
I did't tell you what the weapon is and trust me, NO one is gonna grab it from me! Plus why the hell would I be in an ally? I'm old, but I'm not stupid. Finally -- yes! Systemic racism is real, for sure, and we need to stop the fascists from rewriting history so that we forget that.
You know what SUCKS? That any woman has to depend on any man to protect her from another man! I still carry a weapon at all times, and I know how to use it, so don't fuck with me. And why does it have to be a racial thing? Sheesh!
Beetles! May you be as well-protected as these little ones in all you do!
Cuteness overload!!! First time I've ever seen an armadillo during the day! This one is pretty small -- maybe 30cm from tip of nose to tip of tail. They eat mainly insects and their larvae, digging shallow holes in their search for food. β₯οΈ
We are fucked. Good bye, USA. It was not always nice while it lasted, but there was hope. No more. The President can do whatever he fucking well pleases and district court judges can't do fuckall to stop him. This is a tragedy and the Supreme Court is responsible.
The variety of Lepidoptera (moths and butterflies) here are astounding! This is a moth, because its wings are open at rest. Nerdy stuff, but also miraculous!
Please share this! www.youtube.com/watch?v=3rjj...
Brown Pelicans are such wonderful formation fliers! Another lovely reminder on what is an auspicious day for me. To new heights, Odinson!
Another tiny miracle, to help me celebrate ten years clean and sober today! This little one is maybe 7 - 8mm, sitting on a turmeric leaf. I am filled with gratitude for this and the rest of my life!
A good example of what AOC and others are doing to inform people of their rights is this: in most cases, ICE agents do NOT need a warrant to arrest a non-citizen in public. Please understand, I think what happened to Senator Padilla and Brad Lander is deplorable! But we must be truthful as well.
π¨π¨The White House is pissed off about this ad so you know what to do, share it everywhere! ICE is disappearing people just because of the color of their skin! No Warrant! No Due Process! This is not who we are as Americans! #MAGAKidnappers want an all white America, fuck thatβΌοΈ
You inspire me. Thank you for being who you are in the world.
YigΓΌirro fledgling (Clay Thrush) - no worries - mom and dad were being vigilant and I kept the dogs on leashes. He was flying a couple of days later. β₯οΈ
I see the post is yours and, before I've even read it, I start to smile! Thank you for helping me to remember the beauty in the world.
I honor those who serve! BOTH my parents, my brother, two of my nephews have served with honor! But T**** has disparaged members of the military on numerous occasions. So what happened in DC today was not about honoring the military. I hope he got the message loud and clear from the rest of the US.
Still don't understand why we're not all talking about his dementia. That's dementia face if I ever saw it!
Lying scum - like hell they have a warrant!
Noem is a liar and a disgrace. She should resign or be forced out.
Noem is an ignorant, unqualified liar with power. She is a disgrace! If she doesn't resign on her own, she should be forcibly removed.
Morale isn't great? The US Marines should have refused to go! I know Marines and that is what they would have done. That is what real Marines do, when ordered to do something ILLEGAL!
You support this president? I have NO respect for you. Read the Constitution, for fuck's sake, or GO BACK TO WHERE YOU CAME FROM! Yours is NOT MY United States of America.
Are we happy little fascists now?
I'm a US citizen and I'm not going back -- not until this regime is out of power and sane people are once again in the majority in government!
A wise voice in a time of insanity! www.livingitwitholiviatroye.com/p/from-la-to...
Believe me, I have been asking the same question since he was elected again!
Chilling. I know I don't have a lot of followers, but if you see this, please share! www.treason.io/p/why-im-cal...
The dementia was very clear long before the campaign! The real question is how long will everyone be silent about it, allowing this man to continue to damage the country with his deranged whims?
Not that I know of. But there are a limited number of places around the house that are under cover, so they have probably ventured out into the surrounding areas. :)
OMG, Yes! It took me until I was in my 40s to START to learn to shut up and listen to other people. I'm still working on it...
Wow! You go, Dr. Andrews! I'm a California voter, but I'll make a contribution to your campaign when that's possible. I wish I could vote for you!
So lovely! I'm originally from California, where figs grow with wild abandon and produce like crazy. But here in Costa Rica, we lack the tiny wasps that pollinate figs, so if we get fruits, they are woeful, dry little things. Enjoy your harvest!
Yes, boys and girls, this is what DEMENTIA looks and sounds like! And people are on about Biden? How much longer are we gonna act like this shit is normal?
Wait! Now OIL is bad? Oh, puh-leeeze! Even SOUP is crappy without oil. What about fat soluble vitamins? Honestly, if you wait long enough, every sort of BS gets touted as the answer for health -- it's just worse now with social media!
The pond is full now!
I'm so fucking DONE with this regime and their CRAP! Unless you've lived in a CAVE all your life, you know that to "86" something means to get rid of it, not to kill it! Just more of the lies these fascists will promulgate to keep us distracted from how they're stealing from us all!
Oh my! There is surely a place in heaven for you, dear drummer! Too sweet!
Here is this perfect wee moth sitting on a turmeric plant, in case you forgot to believe in miracles today!
I'm confused. The Resistance is make-believe?
I sincerely hope so, in the end. I need more hope than ever right now. And it's hard. But you help -- I'm grateful to find your inspirations here daily!
Fucking fascists! Anyone who supports this shit? Wait until they come for someone you know and love! None of us is safe.
This is what ICE does: just like they stalked the familyβs car and smashed the windows in to kidnap them. They attack people on the streets grab them and take them to concentration camps. Entire neighborhoods gather to protect little babies & their moms from being separated & kidnapped.

Cicadas are amazing in so many ways!
One thing is certain: many people with autism are a helluva lot smarter than R.F.K. Jr., and that includes this kid! Brilliant!
Once again, breathtaking! Your photos are at once calming and inspiring.
