Nothing really special, just a dog taking a moment to appreciate the roses' fragrance. Original post

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has signed a decree establishing Universal Healthcare for all Mexican citizens. The United States could’ve had this, but people chose economic collapse, cruelty and death instead. I’ll never regret voting for Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris.

Eric Swalwell is not a victim of a smear and quite frankly shame on anyone saying he is. There are other Dems running in the primary who aren’t alleged sexual predators, so demonizing victims for the sake of team sports is not only cruel but also useless. Back Katie Porter instead & believe victims

This painting, titled "Malcesine on Lake Garda" (1913), is an oil painting by Austrian Symbolist Gustav Klimt. The original no longer exists, destroyed in May 1945 by fire at Schloss Immendorf in Austria, reportedly set by retreating German forces in World War II.

ABOLISH ICE AND DEFEND HUMAN DIGNITY. NO HUMAN BEING SHOULD SUFFER IN DETENTION. IMMIGRANTS DESERVE FREEDOM, RESPECT, AND SAFETY. STAND WITH THE PROTESTERS AND SPEAK UP FOR JUSTICE.

NEW: Statement from Swalwell's senior staffers: "We stand with our former colleague and the other women that have come forward. We believe you should stand with them, too."

👀 Oh. My. Gawd. Now we know why Melania gave that Epstein presser on Thursday. An interview with Amanda Ungaro is about to be released by El Pais on Sunday morning (and it’s after midnight right now in Spain). And on Monday, she will be on CNN.

For the record, I was a Swalwell supporter and had planned on voting for him in the primary. Me believing the women was not political. It's based on the corroboration of evidence confirmed by multiple news outlets, and the Manhattan DA finding enough evidence exists to open a criminal probe.

Pope Leo rebukes [indirectly] Donald Trump. “God does not bless any conflict. Anyone who is a disciple of Christ, the Prince of Peace, is never on the side of those who once wielded the sword and today drop bombs,” "Military action will not create space for freedom or times of #Peace ..."

"I barely know who Epstein is!" Sure, Jan 😂

Common Toad sitting in a road in Priston, near Bath. Seemed stunned & may have been hit by a car, but after checking it over I could find no serious injury. I moved it to safety and it wandered off. Sadly, not all toads are this lucky, Several toad patrols operate around Bath in breeding season

America, we have a problem😳🤷‍♂️

Lying from the White House Podium is now a family tradition.

Per indie reporter @domguan.bsky.social, all photos of those killed by ICE have disappeared from the fence memorial outside Broadview's ICE building. Protesters on scene at the moment say they don't know what happened to them.

ICE IS DETAINING HUMAN BEINGS IN INHUMANE CONDITIONS. REPORTS OF PEOPLE BEING SHOT, STRIPPED AND NEGLECTED ARE OUTRAGEOUS. IMMIGRANT RIGHTS ARE HUMAN RIGHTS, AND WE DEMAND ACCOUNTABILITY. NO ONE SHOULD BE TREATED LIKE THIS. STAND UP, SPEAK OUT AND DEFEND DIGNITY. ICE AND RIGHTS.

Fuck ICE. Fuck DHS. Fuck Trump. “The only valid use of a grand jury is to investigate federal crimes,” Regan told The Intercept. It’s unclear how Doe’s Reddit posts are evidence of a crime, and the administration is “able to hide what they are doing under the guise of a federal grand jury.”

Florida universities are partnering with ICE, giving campus police power to question and arrest students over immigration status. Two professors there warn it’s creating “an intensifying climate of uncertainty and anxiety” on campus.

Artemis II was overshadowed by other bad things in the news but what it accomplished was frankly amazing. We are capable of incredible and unprecedented things. I’m in awe at how far we safely sent humans into space.

A federal judge has found that the Trump administration's Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Chicago are violating a 2022 consent decree by conducting arrests without a warrant and without proper risk assessment.

The Presidential podium is designated for the POTUS to address the nation or hold press conferences. The fact this narcissistic twat used it to spew lies, regarding a salacious relationship with a pedophilic sex trafficker, will piss me the fuck off for quite some time.

Here's another lovely little #toad for those who like me appreciate them 🐸🥰

Amazon wants all the control of an employer without any of the responsibility. It’s time to pass the Delivery Protection Act to say goodbye to Amazon’s union busting loopholes.

Protesters gathered in Trafalgar Square as it filled with voices condemning ICE terror From London, a clear message rang out state violence will not be ignored. When abuse goes unchecked, the world responds. Solidarity doesn't stop at borders. 🇬🇧

We cannot risk the world nor the wellbeing of our nation any longer,” she wrote. “Whether by his Cabinet or Congress, the President must be removed from office. We are playing with the brink.”

#FOFriday and it’s time. I finished my not-so-mini minibeast, the Roly Poly Pillbug! It’s huge. It’s soft. It rolls up and becomes a cushion. It’s perfect 🤩 🧶 #Knitting

Photo a Day 2026 - Day 100: It was a happy surprise to find a pair of Wood Ducks visiting the tray feeders on my deck this afternoon! They're usually so shy that I don't get to see them up close. The female was heads-down eating while the male stood watch. #photoaday #birds #nature #photography

Dad Guy says today marks 5 years I’ve been family. I’ve been a big hit. And I know I’m loved. That’s why I’m so happy all of the time. ❤️

Reports make it fairly clear that ICE detention facilities are worse than most US prisons. And for the most part they're crammed full of people who haven't been convicted of any crime.

👀 this is fantastic #Pope promotion from the Chicago #WhiteSox and a pretty poignant statement for the time we are in.

Spot on.

Bruce Springsteen is making me a fan... Opening his concert in Los Angeles yesterday, worth the wait to see the transition to the opening song 90 seconds in. ✌️❤️🇺🇸 #Resist

A woman will be the person who has the strength to end this awful time in our country! Never underestimate the inner power of women, we are a force to be reckoned with! #SheShed

Buttigieg: "For the leader of this country to make a nakedly genocidal threat against another civilization as if the US was a death star that was going around blowing up civilizations, of course that is a new low ... the whole country is being judged just for tolerating that kind of thing at the WH"

This is a roster of names of the many, many people George Washington owned.

Watched Apollo 13 with my oldest and when the German scientist came on screen I stopped the movie to tell her about Operation Paperclip. If you know me or my work you know I’ve been waiting for this moment since I took her home from the hospital

Oh, now, see? You just 𝙝𝙖𝙙 to go and put that icing on! I was gonna just have strawberries for dessert tonight, but now, I'm gonna have to go get some lemon pound cake to put under 'em. Looks delish, ICHawkeye. 😉

Martin Sheen joins me on @siriusxmprog.bsky.social tonight for an amazing hour on filmmaking, activism, and spirituality. I offered the SXM Hollywood studios but he wanted to come over; so this is my 1st-ever interview at my own kitchen table. I cannot overstate how wonderful he is, throughout.

Trump officials are unpleasant assholes. Period. Doesn’t matter who they’re meeting with.
