The moment you stop learning, you stop living. Every one makes mistakes. The key is to learn from those mistakes and improve.

So much courage to speak out right now. Thank you.
“Let’s begin by saying that we are living through a very dangerous time.” So opens “A Talk to Teachers,” which James Baldwin delivered to a group of educators in October, 1963.
The awkwardly hilarious moment I realized I was the same shade as the walls.... ...actually, I think I'm even paler. 🤣
I didn’t know it but now I need a baby donkey 😂💗
Meet Candon Dahle, Why isn't he not in jail for life? Bingham County Idaho THIS CHILD RAPIST was sentence to 180 days in jail for raping a 7 year old girl for 5 years, part of the plea deal was that he would not have to register as a sex offender. WOW: (white privilege )
Oh, Andy Borowitz. What a gem you are.
Blue states should team up on purchasing, protocols, distribution

I like the rebrand.
Paul: As usual, the two-year-olds masquerading as Repub pols have no problem doing it themselves, but when it is done to them, they whine and cry like the lying, unethical spoiled little brats they are.
They aren't getting paid by Russia unlike rightwing "influencers." I don't have a problem with folks on the left finally getting some support so they can fight back. This shit isn't free when you commit to it as more than a full time job.
I originally intended this to be a preliminary sketch for a larger piece. But after living with it for a few days I actually like it as is - scrappiness and everything #watercolor #watercolorsketch #watercolorpainting #watercolorcityscape #cityscape
My dream is for it to happen like it does to vampires. When the leader kicks the bucket, the rest of them burst into flames.
IT’S ALL NATIVE LAND!
This is the times indirectly cowering to trump. It is unethical, unprofessional and totally cowardly.
Can the media STOP referring to Jeffrey Epstein as a “financier”? The money he made came from SEX TRAFFICKING MINORS, RAPING CHILDREN, and BLACKMAIL. He was NOT a financier. I’ve seen at least five stories from three outlets refer to him this way in the past week. This is the latest from the Times:
California stepping up.
Reminder: Most mass shootings are carried out by cisgender men.
I'm still waiting for the relentless onslaught of media demands for a press conference and calls to resign.
Yesterday we went grocery shopping and although the US berries were cheaper, we bought all Canadian grown at a higher price. We did get our money’s worth as the Canadian berries were beautiful. Sorry not sorry. 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Actually, DC residents are very savvy. They knew trying to indict the guy for throwing a sandwich was bs. They didn’t fall for it. The real question is why is Pirro wasting taxpayer money on such bullshit?
When you have a felon convicted of 34 counts of fraud; who is doing everything he possibly can to screw the US and everyone in it for his Russian handler and the GOP are letting it happen; it’s hard not to become numb to the crimes they are committing. #ProudBlue#Voices4Victory apple.news/AWGPyC_
Brian: the national guard was never intended to actually fight crime. It was a publicity stunt and excuse to avoid Epstein. Imagine the backlash if the guard actually tried to engage criminals and suffered casualties, or worse, we had another Kent state. They are not trained for law enforcement.
"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?"
VIDEO: Trump is throwing the Constitution out the window, and Rep. Jamie Raskin is calling him out. Rep. Raskin joined Marc Elias to discuss restoring American democracy, the administration’s overreach into elections and Trump’s desire to be a dictator. youtu.be/YDLIgNzb5FM
It took cops three hours to finally go into the Pulse nightclub the night of the shooting. If you wander near a crosswalk in Florida with a piece of chalk right now you'll have four cops on you in under five seconds.🤷♂️
TEN THINGS FOX NEWS MIGHT POSSIBLY SAY ON THE BLESSED DAY WHEN IT FINALLY HAPPENS 10. As shocking and horrifying as it may sound, we have heard reports that Muslims are definitely celebrating in the streets of New Jersey
‘JAWS’ earned $8.1M domestically this weekend for the film’s 50th anniversary. Among the biggest re-release weekends of the decade.

Sorry food workers just know I've been there. I feel for you.
Jill Stein and Cornel West both disgust me — such goddamn, self-serving hypocrites.
Black People Know #blacksky #ninetytwopercent #therevolution #nationalguard There is nothing new under the sun.
Honored that Mark is now a Democracy Docket member.🙏 The force of democracy must be with us!!!🥳
What Ms Raddatz seems to lose sight of in asking why not use the guard is this hard fact. It is costing a million dollars A DAY. Gov Moore points outs that that money could be better spent on funding law enforcement. People forget that trump lives on credit. He never pays his bills.
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
A great city needs leadership that shares our values, leadership that can anticipate the future and ensure that all residents share in it. A leader brave enough to stand up to bullies & blaze the path forward. That’s why I’m voting for @wutrain.bsky.social Mayor Wu on primary day.

A set of shop drawers for holding miscellaneous tools, attachments, shop stuff. Made for this purpose so none of the fanciness of a show piece and left off various refinements. But quite happy with it. Highly functional. Pine and cherry. Tung oil finish.
Science is real
This is what happens when stupid people are allowed to have control. They are too stupid yo recognize how stupid they are. They lie, screw up everything, blame it on everyone else.
They attack Fauci, an actual doctor and scientist, but praise RFK Jr., who’s never even seen the inside of a lab. Make it make sense.

“I am a fierce warrior woman,” (I whisper to my weighted dragon stuffie under the covers as I fall asleep).
A friend was in DC this past week and said, “Man, those National Guard folks are bored out of their minds.” That’s the farce of all this: there simply isn’t enough crime for them to do anything. So, fuck it, arrest people for chalking the pavement. At least it makes the day go by faster.
I wonder if Susan Collins will follow the lead of Joni Ernst and drop out because she knows she'll be trounced and most of her constituency hates her.
This is worth sharing far and wide. Federal Employees and contractors oral history project. Im not involved in this. Just got the link, idea seems to be to create a record of the assault on the American Repuvlic after Jan 2025. www.fecohp.org

He won’t let the press anywhere near him. This is getting weirder and weirder.
Pritzker: "We don't want troops on the streets of American cities. That's un-American and frankly the president ought to know better. This one doesn't seem to. He hasn't read any books. He doesn't seem to understand the Constitution or the laws."

New Mexico has issued a public health order that removes federal restrictions to COVID-19 vaccine access so that pharmacies in New Mexico can vaccinate people of all ages and risk profiles. Every state need to do this!
Good night 🌙 and….
He’s providing them with valuable mulching experience though.
Pritzker: "No one in the administration -- the president or anybody under him -- has called anyone in my administration or me. It's clear that in secret they're are planning this invasion with US troops."

"She did not die defending the Constitution. She died trying to overturn it. She was not protecting lives at a gate in Iraq; she was forcing her way through windows in the Capitol to stop the peaceful transfer of power." New from @markhertling.bsky.social:
All kidding aside, suffering from both leprosy & syphilis at 79 is no joke, but I am sure whatever cure RFKjr is mixing up will get him back on the golf course in no time.

Donald Trump incited a violent coup to overthrow the 2020 election and hold onto power. It will never be ok that he was not held accountable, including banning him from ever again holding public office.

Just saying.
If he is dying, I hope it hurts, and I hope he's scared.
Senator Warner. IMO that is the Republican goal. They want their “benefactors” to make as much money as possible and are willing to screw every other American to facilitate it.
Clean energy isn’t “woke.” It’s an essential part of our energy future and saves us all on power bills. This administration’s war on offshore wind and solar is just going to raise Americans’ utilities.
Well done helping the rest of us appreciate why the decision to honor an insurrectionist is damaging both to our military and our society, @markhertling.bsky.social.
These spineless people won’t do damn thing.
At least SOME countries recognize the value of NATURE and all its offerings.

Today I announced nearly $26 million to support education, tourism and economic development in Kentucky's Appalachian region with Congressman Hal Rogers at the SOAR summit. Eastern Kentucky deserves a bright future, and these investments are ensuring that's true for generations to come.

@nealkatyal.bsky.social: “You’ve got the president who's imposed the largest tax increase on American consumers since 1993 … and he did it without Congress saying one word. That is not our constitutional structure.”
Michael: this is what happens when idiot pols base their “wisdom” on biased, bs information and then double down on their stupidity with ideas like this.
Fuck you, dude.
