Good evening from East Tennessee.

“A tangerine and russet cascade of kaleidoscopic leaves, creates a tapestry of autumn magic upon the emerald carpet of fading summer.” 🍁🍂🧡 — Judith A. Lindberg #autumn #leaves

This is why Trump just said at his rally that he doesn’t care about high gas prices because people who own stakes in the oil and gas industry are getting rich.

New life goal unlocked.

Hoping you are enjoying your Sunday!

The winds were a little brisk today, so leaves were dancing in the wind, then some let go and zig zagged down to the gravel road as we walked in the surrounding woods. It’s peaceful here in northern Michigan. We are lucky to be here this week of beautiful autumn colors. 🍂🍁

Agree 💯%.......

Concerns over election integrity are mounting—from a DOJ suit targeting Alaska, to federal monitors in Dem-leaning counties. "The DOJ is acting as a political wing of the Republican Party on behalf of Donald J. Trump,” says @azsecretary.bsky.social.

the idea that empathy is dangerous has been permeating right-wing spaces for a while, but it's not an actual element of their ideology as much as it's a defense mechanism against confronting the reality of their cruelty

Empathy as a weakness is right out of the Ayn Rand playbook. It is the core element of neoliberalism, and the cartoonish Libertarianism.

Seems like the Trump White House agrees with everyone who says the Trump White House had committed countless crimes

"Right now, we’re living in Trump’s world, in Vance’s world, in Hegseth’s world. This is what a world without empathy looks like. It’s a world of constant othering, of constant rage, of a constant belief that life is a zero-sum game. But nothing flourishes in that world." — @snipy.bsky.social

East Potomac Park has 3 golf courses, mini golf, a playground, picnic spots & a road locals run & bike on Trump's plan could swap most of that for a single 18-hole course @democracydefendersfund.org & partners are in court to keep it public More @nytimes.com👇 -TN

Hundreds of lawyers are spending election week in war rooms & courthouses, ready to file at a moment's notice More than a dozen national firms are in it w/ @democracydefendersaction.org & our complaints are already written Bring it on More @financialtimes.com👇 -TN

Breaking news: The Justice Department has moved to preemptively block certification of the results of Alaska’s Senate race if Republican incumbent Sen. Dan S. Sullivan loses his tight race against Democrat Mary Peltola next month.

Solid metaphor for the entire administration, honestly

🚨BREAKING: In a loss for voters, the Supreme Court ruled to bar New Hampshire election officials from considering student IDs as evidence of identity when registering and voting during the midterms. The broader ban on automatically accepting student IDs as valid photo ID also remains in effect.

If this is accurate, Elon lied about not having control over Starshield, and he lied about the administration making the decision. More importantly, why is a private citizen even *able* to make decisions that could hinder US military operations?

There is a richness to life that is beyond information (technology) and beyond things.

Marking this date October 19. In 2015, I had surgery to remove what was possibly, a GIST soft tissue sarcoma, attached to my liver. ( 🍎 shape) 3 Months of tests. Post surgery: a cavernous hemangioma- no cancer! Praising God every day grateful and my team at @SylvesterCancer .

DOJ's woeful attempt to disqualify Judge Reyes in the golf course case is rightly DENIED We will see the Trump administration in court bright and early Monday morning on our preliminary injunction motion!

Shutting them up is exactly what the midterms are for.
