Our troops are exhausted and our adversaries are watching Trump pull back and divert our forces toward Iran. With no end in sight. We are increasingly less and less safe under this President’s incompetence.

It’s honestly just sad. The incompetence of this administration is affecting literally everyone. Photo source: MeidasTouch

Republicans don’t want people to see this video before the midterms: Multiple clips of Donald Trump promising half price electricity bills within one year. Have your energy bills gone down 50%?

The shared excitement over NASA’s recent mission compared to the general indifference to SpaceX missions speaks to the power of something seen as the product of communal human effort rather than just the ego and avarice of one obnoxious dork.

BREAKING: A committee led by the interior secretary voted to exempt oil and gas companies from complying with the Endangered Species Act when drilling in the Gulf of Mexico, which could threaten species facing extinction.

A landmark class action settlement agreement between Amazon & a group of residents in Eastern Oregon today marks the first time a Big Tech company has committed to paying damages related to public health threats allegedly exacerbated by the construction & operation of its data centers. All right!

🚨🚨🚨🚨

One of the new goals of the far right is to make it harder for women to vote. The SAVE Act, which the Senate is debating now, would be a major vehicle to achieve that goal. Spread the word about why we need to stop SAVE. indivisible.org/actions/stop...

You will not convince me that this is not a plan to terrorize Americans. The regime wants terrorism on US soil to cancel the election.

BREAKING: VoteVets is reminding the American people by highlighting Trump’s own quotes on the RNC tonight. Spread this everywhere so all Americans see it.

Can you understand now why Vulcans were so concerned when humans attained warp capability? Meaning they could travel to other planets taking with them their humanness.

Finally some “real” snow in NC.

A reminder - last March, republicans promised to restore $1.1B in funding to DC in exchange for funding the government, and Mike Johnson never took it up in the House.

Never forget who sold us out: Hassan King Cortez-Masto Shaheen Kaine Fetterman Durbin Rosen

You can google this and prove it is a lie yourself. Google Walmart Thanksgiving meal 2024, then google for 2025. The 2024 meal had premium items and more of them. The 2025 meal is barebones and all generic. This is a lie.

Tonight’s Moon

A beautiful evening.

Please do your part to protect these spaces, leave no trace, pack out all trash, stay on established trails, and avoid disturbing wildlife. Small acts of care from visitors help keep our parks safe, clean, and protected.

My handsome pup.😊

No fall colors to look at in NC but at least I can look at the pumpkin spice cookie packaging my wife bought today. 😕

Nature keeps moving despite our self importance.

Woohoo!

The people who lost children and other loved ones in the Texas floods are owed honest answers from officials. They should be told why flash flood warnings issued hours earlier were not conveyed to people in the path of the water. They don’t need more prayers from politicians. They need answers.

ALERT! ALERT! ALERT!

I have tried to sandwich this sobering reality lesson between daily gratitude and humility prayers. How will I behave when we all finally come to the table and talk?

Marine veterans are speaking out against the troop deployment in Los Angeles. Across the country, they’re taking down their American flags that have flown in front of their homes for years. Remember, we have friends everywhere.

Big point that is being missed: without the insurrection act, the activated Guard troops are now federal army and cannot Do law enforcement. Period

The Los Angeles Police Department has stated that demonstrations in the city have remained peaceful. Let that sink in.

Ahem.

Wellman: When I served in Iraq.. I heard about how Saddam Hussein divided them. Different sects fought each other. But you know -- Saddam and his family sat laughing at all of them. They divided them against each other and kept their power for 35 years. Does this sound familiar to anybody?

Spare us the fake outrage.

The disputed North Carolina Supreme Court associate justice seat was filled at last Tuesday morning, after over six months of litigation by candidate Judge Jefferson Griffin. @shaulenbeek.bsky.social #nccourts #ncpol www.courthousenews.com/north-caroli...

We strongly advise the public not to do this, it’s unsafe. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. posted photos of himself and his grandkids swimming in Rock Creek, a Washington waterway so contaminated with sewage runoff that swimming has been banned citywide for over 50 years.

Amen to this! 💙
