Here's a shot I got two years ago today in #Tacoma. Me and a buddy were watching a humpback at Point Defiance when he yells "incoming!" Luckily I was quick on the draw. #Birds #Photography #Nature #Raptors

I won’t sugarcoat it: this was an exhausting, cruel, terrible year. On this week’s Coffee Klatch, Heather and I try to make sense of what the country endured in 2025 — and what lessons we can take into 2026.

I’ve learned my nature and now to decide if I embrace or struggle #vss365 #Haikufeels #haiku

all these incompetent people in the current regime are ruining my ability to have suspension of disbelief when watching procedurals that rely on government competence as a major plot device

It’s George Conway. I’ve spent years calling out Donald Trump, the Republican Party, and their enablers! And if there’s one man who embodies political cowardice more than anyone else, it’s Lindsey Graham.

📌The Epstein Files are only the latest ghastly example of white male privilege.

Pete Hegseth says the Defense Department “does not do climate change crap.” But a new report suggests that the Pentagon is engaging with the issue in one serious way: Stockpiling dozens of critical minerals, it is threatening the energy transition by hoarding valuable resources.

Jimmy Kimmel gave an 'Alternative Christmas Message' to the Brits, saying "tyranny is booming" in the U.S. He also addressed his suspension: "We won, the president lost, and now I'm back on the air every night, giving the most powerful politician on earth a right and richly deserved bollocking."

People gathered this Christmas to be united and celebrate the birthday of Jesus. Jesus was born in Bethlehem, Palestine. Today, Bethlehem is in the West Bank - a land that is surrounded by walls. A city where its people and his followers face apartheid. Never forget the Palestinians.

@raskin.house.gov @repaprildelaney.bsky.social @vanhollen.senate.gov @alsobrooks.senate.gov Constituents in 21782 expect you, & as many of your colleagues as you can convince, to sign on to impeach RFK. stevens.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

Flashback post and yep, still our favorite.

Irrespective of whether Jesus was a real person or not, the fact is the Bible states he was born in Bethlehem, Palestine to non-white parents & was of no fixed abode. He disliked the rich & spent his life advocating for the vulnerable & poor. Perhaps Christians should take note.

Happy Boxing Day, Feast of St Stephen's for some, "The Day After" for others. Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme from @alan678.bsky.social is #mostrecent; your most recent bird picture. To that end, here's mine which I skipped for the other day's facing theme. #Photography #Birds #Nature #EastCoastKin

Just a little anti-constitution! Definitely anti-democracy.

thehill.com/opinion/inte... I'm not surprised. Trump has deals with China and Russia. If he lets them do what they want, they will let him do what he wants. He has no deals that help the American people because he doesn't give a fuck about them. Y'all betrayed everyone with Trump, America.

"Is this Hell, or just an upturn in consumer confidence?" A friend gifted this tiny volume to me this year; never has a tangible object felt so unreal in my hands. John Updike + Edward Gorey? Sure. The contents are precisely what you imagine.

Who else can honestly say that they never voted for Trump?

From our family to yours, merry Christmas! We hope your day is filled with good people and good food.
