A #classicmono shot of an alleyway in Shibuya, Japan 🇯🇵 2019 This trip really changed me in many ways which formed a new passion for real travel beyond a tourist agenda and learning about the world. #streetphotography #bnwphotography #eastcoastkin #japan #travelphotography #thephotohour

Amen to this.

HERO. Rest in Peace.

It’s simply becoming a poll with those joining the Board of Peace being the worse side of history. Well done Croatia - a possible holiday destination👌 Via Euronews: Croatia will not join Trump's 'Board of Peace,' Prime Minister Andrej Plenković says www.euronews.com/2026/01/28/c...

Trump is going to do whatever he can to declare martial law before November 3rd, so there won't be any midterms, and it doesn’t matter if it means igniting a Civil War or dragging the US into conflicts with other countries.

Hilarious.

Excerpts of his statements make #RandPaul sound reasonable. But here he sounds like a pathetic suck-up to Trump and his henchmen.

So Miller and Trump are responsible for Minneapolis.

So, anyone who opposes the trump regime is a domestic terrorist, but the guys who sacked the capitol are patriots THIS IS HOW FUCKED UP AMERICA IS UNDER TRUMP ME: ANOTHER DOMESTIC TERRORIST

If you work for ICE or Border Patrol and have information about unlawful conduct taking place at your agency, please speak up. House Judiciary Dems want to hear from you. America needs to know about crimes committed in our name. As a whistleblower, you can share anonymously:

Hey, WHAT ABOUT THE EPSTEIN FILES

I'll be out of the country then. But I want my family to attend.

Make that #Hubert.Horatio.Humphrey.

Gorgeous lighting.

Noem needs to go. But Trump and Miller REALLY need to go.

Americans who lost everything to wildfires & extreme weather have waited more than a year for federal disaster aid. Instead of helping them, Trump issued an EO that does NOTHING to speed up recovery or make rebuilding more affordable. Enough distractions. Pass disaster aid now.

#EPSTEIN KEEP TALKING ABOUT EPSTEIN FILES. RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES NOW DAMN IT

A retired Minneapolis couple who had guns pointed at them by ICE in a church parking lot. "They were obviously not trained at all. I've known many police officers in my life. These people were right off the streets." "They had the professional demeanor of criminals." ht: @paulgraham.bsky.social

Maher Tarabishi was detained in October during a scheduled check-in at an ICE facility. He was the primary caretaker of his son, who died last week. The family is seeking Maher's release so he can attend his son's funeral. ICE reportedly denied the request. Unimaginable cruelty.

I would give it wide berth.

They won’t investigate the murders of Good or Pretti, but they’ll investigate fake 2020 election fraud. www.reuters.com/world/us/fbi...

www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j... Any number of reasons why Trump's threats to #Iran are rubbish. Chiefly that he's trying to distract attention from domestic protests and his failure to release #EpsteinFiles.

This time around will surely be a much larger struggle, but have no doubt, my fellow Americans, we will defeat Fascism! As Americans, it's kind of our thing! ✊🤛🇺🇸

What he said.

This could be Lake Michigan from Grand Haven.

Did Bovino have a speck of decency to apologize, at least just for what he said about Pretti? No. Did JD Vance? No. Did Stephen Miller? No. Did Kristi Noem? No. They simply lack basic human decency and have no business being in senior positions of the US government.
