For My Dog, Larry In the summer, deep in grief, I didn’t think of much at all. As the flowers you watched me plant bloomed, I cut clippings to put in tiny vases by your photo. When the fall came and the leaves plastered the sidewalks of our neighborhood, I did not walk them.

I read some of the Amelia Earhart files. It was crazy that her last radio transmission was her asking for the release of the Epstein files.

Sure did miss you this year, my sweet little man.

God, I love a good increase.

Mom and me - ca. 1978 Hazel - ca. 1932 Anna - ca. 1908 4 generations ❤️ Happy Mothers Day

What I love about living in East Tennessee, Part 1

Magnolia and daffodil blooms. Springtime is special in East Tennessee

Close your eyes. Take a deep breath. Let it out slowly. Doesn’t that feel nice?

What’s the opposite of a Nobel Peace Prize? I think we have a winner.

If you don’t already like Zelenskyy enough: He said "fuck you bitch (suka, blyat)" to JD Vance during their argument.

not malice, not incompetence, but a secret third thing

Do not give them violence. Do not play into their hands. Peaceful resistance and civil disobedience are our strongest tools. It’s time to start a movement of peaceful resistance and disobedience training throughout the nation and the world. 1/3

The Epstein file redactions probably look like this: Do■■■d T■■■p

What happened today isn’t just politics. ⚠️ Trump is reshaping the U.S. into a far-right, authoritarian state—favoring deals over values and aligning with autocrats worldwide. A democracy without principles is just an oligarchy in disguise. 💔🇺🇸⚖️ #Democracy #HumanRights

Trump berates Zelensky, the leader of a democratic country courageously fighting Russian imperialism, while he allies himself with Putin, a dictator who started the bloodiest European war in 80 years. Sorry, President Trump. We believe in democracy, not authoritarianism.

It bears repeating.

This sorry administration is comprised of absolute PUTZES who wouldn’t know a well-fitted suit if it magically walked around their bathroom in the morning and tried to shake their hands. Volodomir Zelenskyy EATS in combats fatigues, and EATS in a well-fitted suit, and they know it. 🔥🇺🇦🔥

THE WORLD IS WATCHING, AND THEY ARE NOT IMPRESSED. I stand with Ukraine and President Zelenskyy. SLAVA UKRAINI 🇺🇦

I see your weaponized incompetence and raise you spectacularly malicious compliance

In response to Trump’s assertion, “He who saves his Country does not violate any Law,” we say: The welfare of the people in particular has always been the alibi of tyrants.

Don’t lose hope. Remember, Watergate took over two years to fully unravel from the initial break-in to Nixon’s resignation. Just like then and now, Americans are losing faith in their government. We are documenting every illegal action and will hold this administration and Elon Musk accountable.
