WHY DO WE HAVE WARS? Because we are ruled by an elite group of psychopaths who own the banks that control the governments and media. They fund both sides of war for profit and they manufacture the consent of the public through the propaganda of the media. ~Stephen Geist RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES!

Snow day here. A good day to reflect on the gifts of aging, which we may not want and can not return but with patience we come to accept this wisdom.

Eagles' nest There are a number of eagles' nests one can see, walk near, in the #trempealeaunationalwildliferefuge . Winter provides clear viewing and less chance of upsetting the inhabitants. #landscape #eagles #expressionism #kunst #blueskyartshow #analogart #staywell #bekind #gooutside

There must be a lot of bad stuff in the Epstein Files if this 34 count felon draft dodger has illegally started a war while negotiations were under way to end their nuclear weapons program, which BTFW Pres. Obama had already negotiated some years ago. This won't change the regime, just the top dog.

Weird they dragged in Hillary Clinton when there's another First Lady right there in the White House who actually knew Jeffrey Epstein.

I hear from people who are surprised I'm still talking about ICE, they thought they'd withdrawn from MN. No, they have not. In some respects they've escalated. Some asked why MN is a target. Are there are there a lot more illegals or criminals here? No, it's not about that. It's about a grudge.

NEW: ProPublica went inside the detention center for immigrant families in Dilley, Texas. Children held there told us about the anguish of being ripped from their lives in the United States and the fear of what comes next.

@hcrichardson.bsky.social mentioned today that there is probably more to the Epstein Files than pedophilia. Follow the money. It's the only other thing he cares about. Lots of money flowed through E's banks. Friday would be a good day to release the Epstein Files.

I saw that it had been 38 days past the date the Epstein Files were legally required to be released. The 34 count felon seems concerned about their release. Huh, who woulda thought?

The Epstein Files have not been released. They are executing American citizens in broad daylight and people are videoing them doing it but we will not be distracted. Release the Epstein Files.

Ah, they still haven't released the Files, meanwhile the madman rants and proves he had lost his marbles somewhere in Florida. Let's reorder the international political, economic, social fabric so a demented old man can avoid spending the rest of his life in jail. #releasethefiles #staysafe #begood

My grandfather went to jail for this

Even with the fact that my friends and families are being terrorized every day in the Twin Cities, I do occasionally try to make art. There is a spot in the #trempealeaunationalwildliferefuge where fish go to mate. #fishspawn #handpainted #artsky #contemporaryart #kunst #staysafe #beGood #makeart

Got to see @petebuttigieg.bsky.social in La Crosse last evening. A true patriot and great orator. He took questions from the audience that ranged over many topics. The loudest applause was he when asked a question about the president and the news cycle. Hope is action realized.

I do not see anything in the news about the Epstein Files being released. 20+ days they seem to be breaking the law that the big dog signed. Maybe they could sic all those street dogs on it cause all they are doing in the Twin Cities is causing pain. #epsteinfiles #noice #staysafe #begood

Mary Kay says there were 600 at the vigil today at Broadway & Main in Winona, Minnesota. Mary Kay walks the events and hand counts, so I believe her. She also brings a van load of signs to lend to the signless. Mary Kay deserves a medal. #noice #nokings #nowars #winonamn #vigilforgood

Army Talk, March, 1945:“Fascism thrives on indifference and ignorance,” it warned. Freedom requires “being alert and on guard against the infringement not only of our own freedom but the freedom of every American. from HCRichardson post

Another angle.

Looking forward to hitting the road next week, heading to La Crosse, Wisconsin for our first town hall of 2026.
