A sea turtle surfacing by a MASSIVE school of rays near Clearwater, Florida a couple days ago. Another post into the BluSky void. Maybe 2 or 3 people will see this one and my time won't have been wasted. I'll keep trying a little longer. #nature #animals #amazing #wildlife #awesome #ocean

The United States has seen 291 mass shootings in 2025. That’s more than one mass shooting every day. This isn’t normal. Weapons of war don’t belong on the streets. We need real action to save lives.
Portland, Maine crowd as Democratic US Senate candidate Graham Platner takes the stage today.
Today we celebrate the strength and resilience of working people everywhere. Nearly 300,000 federal employees have lost their jobs this year not because of necessity, but because of a political agenda. And while people’s lives were destroyed in the name of “saving money,”

“bluesky has no pull” we had the world thinking the president was dead, we’re becoming more powerful than they could ever imagine
LA was doing just fine until you and your thugs arrived
Kristi Noem: "I do know that LA wouldn't be standing today if President Trump hadn't taken action."
I'm keeping a scorecard of the diseases that were once eradicated in the U.S. by vaccines -vs- the number of those same diseases that will be REINTRODUCED in the U.S. due to our unqualified brainworm-addled roadkill collector and heroin addict Secretary of HHS, RFK Jr. Here's one for you too:
When you’re a parent of small children, you pray for a moment of peace to shower or drink your coffee or just… think. When you drop your youngest off at university and the house is so quiet, you long for their joyful noise.
A huge landslide causes homes and land to plunge into the sea, Norway.
'The findings add weight to a growing body of evidence that beavers may be acting as ecosystem engineers, reshaping waterways in ways that benefit not just their own survival, but that of entire landscapes.'
Another beauty
Stunning footage of a rare dark coloured deer, with estimates suggesting they make up less than 1% of all deer.
Public safety in California is on the rise. Last year, California had the second-lowest homicide rate since at least 1966, decreasing by nearly 12% overall since 2023. We're going to drive that progress forward up and down the state.
I guess if you're in a major city in a blue state, you have to start thinking about how you're going to successfully vote with the actual military attempting to prevent you. Because that's why the military is being moved into cities right now. They're being pre-mobilized to prevent voting.

Beautiful
There’s a special place in hell for morons who get millions of people killed.
FEMA employee on leave describes "culture of fear “ among agency employee
I thought this agenda has been presented to the American people before but a majority chose to vote for a mentally deranged criminal. So much has been analyzed regarding the flaws in the Democratic Party. But they can’t explain why voters rejected the D platform for such a horrible individual.
Medicare for all, paid leave, universal childcare. Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s greed. Getting big money out of politics. Supporting unions and fighting for higher wages. If Dems want to win back working people, this is the agenda they must support.

Ashley Biden just posted this picture from this weekend with her father. Both look very happy.

"The straw man being put forward is that it's either we have the military or we're going to get our throats cut at night in DC. Is there no middle ground? Do local law enforcement account for nothing? We've got the National Guard GARDENING right now in DC. Is that an efficient use of our resources?"

I'm still waiting for the relentless onslaught of media demands for a press conference and calls to resign.
Thousands of farm animals & livestock are going unattended. They aren’t being milked. They aren’t being fed. I feel a great deal more for those animals than for the farmers who voted for this shit. They KNEW who their workers were & where they came from. But they voted to hurt them anyway.
What?

@jollygoodginger.bsky.social is in DC with other vets right now standing up for democracy. He's playing General Milleys speech on repeat for them today 💜 #LoveTheVets!
He starts randomly jabbering on about getting into heaven. Mysterious bruising on his hand. He disappears from the public eye for days. Even a child would suspect something was up. Everyone but Congress and mainstream media.
"The lunatics are running the asylum."
www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/8/... Trumpo believes he is the alpha and the Omeg. The executive, legislative and judical. If Chief Justice Roberts has his way and congress contiues to let Trump legislate through executive order we will indeed all be subject to Trump's GOP fascist tyranny.
I guess he changed hats and won’t go anywhere near the press for 5 days for no particular reason. Also can’t get any video of him actually playing golf from the usual sources.
RADDATZ: One of the things they are trying to do in DC with the National Guard is have them back up local law enforcement WES MOORE: They are picking up trash
The Steven Spielberg flick returned 50 years after its theatrical release.
Pro-tip for anyone saying they want to get into Heaven: don’t make everyone else’s lives Hell. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
BREAKING: Bernie Sanders wants RFK Jr. under oath. He’s demanding a special Senate hearing on the CDC disaster RFK Jr. helped create. Go Bernie!
Labor Day was created by the American labor movement in the late 19th century to honor the social and economic achievements of workers. The first Labor Day celebration took place in 1882, and federal law in 1894.

EYE ON THE PRIZE
Why do I blame Bill Cassidy for the destruction of the CDC and the NIH? Because he is a physician. He knew or should have known the danger that Kennedy poses to the U.S. and the globe. Kennedy has never hidden what he is—a predator, a fraud, an anti-science hack, and a gargantuan narcissist.
The Trump administration is drawing up plans to rebrand the Department of Defense as the Department of War, according to a White House official.
O'Keefe to Noem: "At least 20 people who signed this letter were current FEMA employees & they've been placed on administrative leave. Is it now the policy of DHS that anytime an employee puts their name on something criticizing you or POTUS, they should anticipate being put on leave or fired?"
Jill Stein and Cornel West both disgust me — such goddamn, self-serving hypocrites.

People, please stop ruining my "he could be dead" party. Sure maybe JD can control a cult while being controlled by an in-fighting committee of trillionaire shadow POTUS bros. I don't think so. But even so, he'll still be very dead. Dead is good. We have to find joy where we can.

THIS IS ALL MERRICK GARLAND’S FAULT.
RADDATZ: You talk about what can be done. After shootings in Buffalo & Uvalde, Congress passed a bipartisan Safer Communities Act. It provided hundreds of millions for schools to expand mental health services. You didn't vote for it. Why? TOM EMMER: I don't remember the reasons I didn't vote for it

Jesse Watters: “You weren’t ever on Jeffrey Epstein’s jet, were you?” RFK Jr: “I was on Jeffrey Epstein’s jet two times.” Release the freaking Epstein Files. Believe the survivors and their families. We want accountability.

Everything we take for granted — weekends, paid vacations, sick leave, safer workplaces, health care — exists because of unions.
If you say 'heteronormative' or 'unhoused person' or 'food insecurity' you're basically talking gibberish and nobody can understand you but if you say you can see inflammation in children at the airport and that vaccines lower IQ or that germs are a myth you get to fire all the scientists.
Trump’s plan to rename the Department of Defense as the Department of War shows (once again) that his self-characterization as the “pro-peace” candidate was complete bullshit. www.wsj.com/politics/nat...
He’s providing them with valuable mulching experience though.
He won’t let the press anywhere near him. This is getting weirder and weirder.

What a ridiculous person.
I hope you find my new book helpful for understanding the time we’re in, how we combat the bullies, and why I believe so passionately that we will succeed. Here's a bit more on why I wrote it.

Colbert will be all right, maybe even better off. The world's his oyster and I'm sure MSNBC and Netflix will come calling. He could stand up the biggest late night YouTube channel in days. But they are just torching the Late Show, an institution, solely to appease a dictator. And that fucking sucks.
So.... #Colbert to Netflix next? Who is going to jump in and snap him up? #CBS is a bunch of idiotic pricks, but this can be some other organization's golden opportunity.
White House finally releases the list!
