What do you mean by "doctors giving a pass to the George Floyd marches?" There weren't doctors handing out "get out of Covid free cards" on street corners. The gatherings were not sanctioned events. It was late May/June at a time when being outdoors & masking was considered protection. Most masked.

Masked spectators visiting the makeshift George Floyd memorial, June 2nd, 2020. I was masked when I took this photo, and most of the people around me were masked. I cannot vouch for other gatherings in other locations. Masked people paying their respects at the George Floyd memorial on June 2nd, 2020.

"The union had essentially shut down the industrial area in what is now known as Minneapolis’s North Loop. ...The conflict came to a head on July 20, 1934. Police opened fire on protesters near the corner of 7th Avenue and 3rd Street North." #LaborDay #Protest #Union www.mprnews.org/story/2025/0...

The US sends messages everyday that it is unfriendly, unstable, and ultimately, unsafe. There are troops on the streets in some places! No regional ad campaign is any match for the chaos coming from the White House

Dog meets Manatee. This cute little dog was all happy tails when he saw the Manatees at the end of his dock. The manatees seemed curious about the dog too. I took this video a few days ago in the intracoastal waterway in Redington Shores, Florida. #nature #cute #animals #dog #florida #aww

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
