Jim Beam shutting down bourbon production at Kentucky distillery amid Trump’s tariffs www.the-independent.com/news/world/a... Canada's boycotts have a bite. Now I just wonder how a red hat tries to spin this news.

Stupid late night idea, The Trump Redaction Law - from now until the end of time Trump's name must be redacted from all offical records. May his name be forgotten because of the evil he has done.

What we need is a law of experts. Governments always need experts to help us process information And provide guided opinions. We need this to basically be a law that keeps people in place where they can't be fired by anyone that is politically appointed. IGNORE THE FALSE INFLATION NUMBERS.

Dozens of districts throughout Western Washington are closing schools or delaying their start times as an atmospheric river continues to batter the region.

We read banned books in this house. Thank you Marlon Bundo for sharing your story with my kids. Love is forever!

Jane Goodall is one of the scientists I have admired growing up. She will be dearly missed.

BREAKING: The Late Show With Stephen Colbert portrays JD Vance. “We heard that JD Vance loves a good-natured, funny meme, so we made one just for him!” I'm choosing to believe this is actual footage and not 'AI'

I'm just trying to have another ordinary day.

Continue to speak the truth.

I am currently thinking of Ender's Game and the role of the Speaker of the Dead. I found this summary of the role online.

There are many weapons of authoritarian regimes.

It's a long weekend, baby

I feel like I have seen this before.

I have now watched K-Pop Demon Hunters 3 times, and each time, this amazing film has made me cry. I am still not sure what it is that moves me thus, but I recommend everyone watch this silly and fun film to see if it moves you.

First it was troops in L.A., sent to provoke and assault peaceful protesters under the banner of “immigration enforcement.” Now it’s troops in our capital to disappear the homeless. See the pattern? Sooner or later, the monster comes for us all.

The strong truths. Quoting a friend from the D&D table: "Who you call your village has been too narrow. Find the strength to expand your view of who is your neighbor. The death of others at your betrayal will forever be on your soul."

Tiny little jumping spider (salticus) caught a fly/moth. I don't know why she swallowed a fly perhaps she'll die.

"Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood. Now is the time to understand more, so that we may fear less." -Marie Curie

Went on a trip for Father's Day, so I was not in my hometown. But here are some photos where we joined Long Beach, Washington for No Kings Day. A few hundred people for a small beach town.

I don't care what anyone else thinks, he's brave and this is what people in these positions are supposed to. I respect the hell out of this.

Art and life. What happens when protesters stand up to militarized forces? I will always choose the protesters' side and their freedom to assemble and have their voices heard.

The movie Ever After, this quote has always stuck with me. I have always felt that it was a reference to the failure of society to help those struggling at the bottom. #universalhealth #freeeducation #paidfamilyleave #justicereform

Almost to 1000, maybe I will break it next month?

"The one thing that strong women will not tolerate is weak men. That is why they only marry strong men." - quoting a strong woman speaking to her husband

I finally remembered what the little boy during the State of the Union reminded of; Thomas Smith from The Man in the High Castle. Both were used as props to hold up a system that had little regard for the true well-being of others. Our orange dick-tator shows this with his cuts to science research.

I have read several articles about the "Great Wealth Transfer." This is how as the Boomers pass-on, their kids will inherent their wealth, with the idea that things will finally get better for Millennials. The big thing most of these articles miss is that the wealth will vanish into long-term care.

New thought after watching the @thedailyshow.com during lunch. Liberals were never trying to limit your (conservatives) free speech, being woke was about asking you to stop being an a**hole. I think we were to kind about not calling them a**holes to their faces.

It's the weekend, baby

90% of people diagnosed with pancreatic cancer die from the disease. That's why the medical community is excited about the results of a small trial in which nearly half of the pancreatic cancer patients who received an mRNA vaccine for the disease remained relapse-free three years later.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

Yeah, this… Repeat for every government service we lose over the next four years.

This is bad, really bad. Not only will the lack of storm predictions endanger lives, but the privatization of the weather will cost more than just the subscriptions charged for wanting to know the weather for next weekend. Farmers rely on frost and other reports to protect their crops, our food.

NEW: Tacoma is the latest city in Washington to issue formal statements pledging to protect LGBTQ+ and immigrant community members. Tacoma joins Olympia, Shoreline and Spokane in ramping up support for residents who have been subject to President Donald Trump’s executive orders since he took office.

Spring is on its way!

Rewatching Andor, the quote triggered a feeling of our current time. "The pace of repression outstrips our ability to understand it." The news can feel so overwhelming, but we each have our own rebellion that we are fighting.

How to change your settings. Be less valuable to advertisers.

A reminder! Power of the purse. Remind them that it is not the people in power but the power of the people!

What happens when you don't pay attention in science class? You look like a fool. Be smart kids, stay in school!

I am so proud to be a teacher in Washington State. Our elected state school superintendent, Chris Reykdal, has been absolutely amazing, and I will vote for him again if he runs.

Maybe a little bit of good news. At least something to keep an eye on. Listen to: The Big Government Money Pipe Freeze - one.npr.org/i/1231335530...

Just doing some truck stuff to escape the nonsense. Added bonus of getting my garden ready for the year. #Rivian #R1T

What's this make? 5 or 6? I wouldn't fly right now if you paid me.
