In a way, I find the authoritarian takeover of our media system even more disturbing than the authoritarian takeover of our political system. Our political system has been failing basically my entire adult life. But, the media system provided accountability and sort of worked. Now it’s collapsing.

I love the goofy times with you @nerdcore.bsky.social ❤️

The following is REAL footage from Portland, 2025. Viewer discretion is advised.

If Democrats were in control of the House, the Senate, and the White House, and the government got shut down, then the blame should rest completely on their shoulders. But that's not what's happening. trump refused to meet with Dems, Republicans control all of the houses. It's on THEM.

We're three lines into "First they came..."

Front Lighting When shooting a front lit subject, make sure you are including one or more elements to make your photo stand out. Here the framing of the model and the engagement with the lens are the elements that make the image stand out. Model: @catswtats.bsky.social Hope it was helpful!

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Happy Summerween

We live in a world where we have never been more connected yet still so alone. I wanted to capture that ideal in this series. Alone in a Crowd. Model: @catswtats.bsky.social #photoshoot #photographer #photography #photograph #artisticphotography #columbusohio #ohiophotographer

Conversations in bed this morning about the feral kitten who lives behind her house. @catswtats.bsky.social tearfully “Im sad for the kitten” Me: “She has her mama and is living her best life hunting mice and things.” Cats: “But she doesn’t know I love her!” I love her so much 😂.

Hey there Scott Walker. I noticed you deleted this after learning that in fact the shooter was from the right. I don’t think it matters either way, violence is violence, so I’m waiting for you to tweet the same thing with corrected facts? Cuz you’re uh, to use your words, “being silent.”

A Democratic Mayor arrested. A Democratic Congresswoman indicted. A Democratic Senator tackled and detained. A Democratic State Representative killed. A Democratic State Representative in critical condition. We can all see where this is going.

Good morning !

Reading the story about the woman in Georgia who is brain dead and on a vent but not allowed to die with dignity because she was 9 weeks pregnant when she was declared brain dead. Even in death, our bodies are not our own. State-owned property.

It’s incredible that the President of the United States is openly flirting with suspending Habeas Corpus, disappearing people left and right, arresting judges and politicians, accepting ludicrous bribes from foreign countries, and people are still trying to normalize this shit.

When @catswtats.bsky.social found Lilly as a kitten I gave her the nickname “ murderball”. Her ability to go from loving to aggressively playful is as impressive now as it was then. #cat #cats #kitty #kittycat #blackandwhite #love #catmom #catsofbluesky #catportrait #catphoto

First, Trump ignored the Supreme Court. Now, his FBI arrested a judge. This administration is threatening our country’s judicial system. This rings serious alarm bells.

He captures me so beautifully 🌸

This is getting fewer headlines than it should. After coming to power promising to help working people, the president is revealing his real priorities by actively making it easier for banks to rip people off.

Let's elevate the fighters: Van Hollen for risking his life to find Abrego Garcia in El Salvador Booker for his 25 hr speech to expose on Trump & Musk's corruption Schatz for blocking 300 Trump nominees Bernie & AOC for rallying hundreds of thousands of Americans Newsom for suing Trump over tariffs

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

BREAKING: Senator Josh Hawley has said he will be reintroducing a bill to ban stock trading by members of Congress.

1/4. On the White House’s theory, if they abduct you, get you on a helicopter, get to international waters, shoot you in the head, and drop your corpse into the ocean, that is legal, because it is the conduct of foreign affairs.

Criminals deserve due process because due process is literally how we determine whether someone is, *in fact*, a criminal

This was three months ago.

Throwback to warmer days at the Columbus Metro Library. Live with whimsy, never be afraid to let your hair down, and don't forget to smile. Polycule: @amelianitz.bsky.social , @catswtats.bsky.social, Amanda not on Bsky. #polyamory #polycule #whimsy #blackandwhite #motionblur #fun #joy #laughter

No lawmaker in Congress should be able to own, buy, and sell individual stocks. We need to ban congressional stock trading—and I've got a bill for that.

Every day, it looks more like a regime. Now the Trump administration is pushing to put Columbia University under a consent decree—a court-enforced agreement that would legally bind the school to federal demands, with a judge overseeing whether they “comply.”

#Ohio! Please take a moment to look at what the state government is doing. They’re trying to defund the library by making it a line item in the budget. www.columbuslibrary.org/keep-the-plf/
