The silver wing glowing in warm golden-orange sunlight. Far below, a sprawling landscape of neighborhoods, forests, and fields stretches toward the horizon beneath a hazy sky fading from soft orange and yellow to pale blue. #photography #flying #jetBlue #sunset

Can the public get access the the MAID blocker the military just deployed? Oh wait, the government buys that data to do warrantless surveillance. Never mind.

Does anyone believe this was NOT done to benefit the Trump-Kushner enterprises? “The Treasury Department this week scrapped a key part of a federal anti-corruption law that required anonymous shell companies and other firms to disclose their owners.” (Credit Axios) #corruption #EconSky

A monarch butterfly rests like a living ember among brilliant orange coneflowers. Its sunlit wings spread wide in a delicate echo of the petals beneath it. Black-veined and white-speckled wings glowing against a lush green garden. #photography #butterfly #nature #flowers

It's #SundayCheckIn for 7/12. How was your week? How are you holding up? What do you need? What are you struggling with? What has helped? What kindness would help you? Remember to wash your sheets.

From IMF data. If you think your 401k is doing well, think again. Stripping out AI enthusiasm and crude oil shortage profits, the S&P500 is down 3%. Blue bars vs yellow. #econsky

I didn’t think we still made boats this way. Three boats, from 85 to 125 feet are being built. For the record, all the skilled wood boat workers are not **Americans**, as currently defined by DjT. #woodenboat. #boat #skill #marine #boatbuilding

Paramount Plus (Skydance) just announced a 37.5% increase in their rates for their “Annual Premium” subscription. @warren.senate.gov where are you? #econsky #skydance #paramountplus

Gotta love Mission Control. Not just the fluffy toys, but the STEM Title V women who were told they can do any job they want to. #artemis

Will ICE agents at TSA checkpoints wear masks? (inquiring minds want to know)

#foodpoverty #econsky While I admire this food store effort to feature an affordable dinner, it is all “brown” food, no green vegetables. We need to make healthy foods more affordable.

#nokings #vote Can we change this month’s rally to a positive vision for America and “your vote matters”? Emanuel (WSJ) “To gain the confidence of the American people, you cannot just be a resistance, you also have to be a renewal. One of the things I’m trying to do is lay out that agenda.”

FIFA World Cup Draw was very so cringeworthy. Never mind the gratuitous “Peace Prize”, the star athletes were wooden and stiff. The drawing persons were bumbling along. Just embarrassing. #FIFA

It’s tie to organize a bunch of vans and cars to overload these creeps with bad data. Oh yes, wear a frog costume. apnews.com/article/immi...

What do you think the dress code for Zelenskyy on Monday is? I’m hoping he wears a full-on dress military uniform, ribbons and all.

Karma for Texas? “An outbreak of flesh-eating parasites in central and northern America has begun spreading through livestock. The New World screwworm is a parasitic fly that lays its larvae in open wounds of warm-blooded animals — and humans.” Per Deutsche Welle
