Did Pam Bondi's wild dramatics yesterday remind you of every middle school mean girl or what?

Today was a very enlightening exercise in the parameters of free speech. Either I step up, or I step off. I stepped up. Other people stepped off.

Ahem.

Some days you just need the trees.

When members of the media are persecuted, every American's rights devolve further. Do you understand?

Bruce does it again.

Hubs representing in Sequim, WA today. @maddow.bsky.social

Just. Wow.

How about the NATO allies amassing in Greenland each take a section of the Epstein files, flip on their PA systems, and start taking turns reading them out loud, little by little?

Hooboy. These people really are that dumb.

The irony of president Trump telling Iranians to keep protesting and that "Help is on the way" while back in America his goon squad is killing people also protesting human rights just proves he is an ignorant moron who doesn't give a shit about us. Or anyone, really.

Holy hellfire. This is so so bad, y'all.

Good morning. Strong coffee and the latest news of impending failures of our government. Whoohoo.

OK, people, have you started creating/adding to/refreshing your emergency kits and go bags? Just added Lifestraws, cash, and a new hand crank radio w/solar charge & power bank to ours.

Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) training, day one. Timely.

If you still justify this horrific murder, I don't want to know you. Every single person who voted for Trump, or didn't vote at all -- This shit is on you.

People get ready. Have cash, get to know your neighbors (even the MAGA ones; enemies closer and all that), train up on disasters, fill up the propane. Call every Republican member of Congress and tell them they are responsible for this.

America seems to be on the outs.

This would be a great time to make sure your home disaster kits are refreshed and you have a plan to stay self-reliant should the proverbial stuff hit the fan. Control the things you can, channel fear into positive action. (At least, that's what I'm going for.)

Today was a very nice day. Doggo and I went up and found the snow, which did our little Alaska hearts good.

Merry Christmas GSP.

All you legislators posting about how "We need to do this", or "We demand that they release that" with respect to the Epstein Files better have some actual action planned because we the people are tired.

Heh heh.

You know when HCR uses profanity, it's really bad.

And yet here we are.

Goddamn but today felt heavy. Took the dog for a stormy walk in the hope some of these big feelings would just blow away.

Truly, most accurate.

Oh, humans. How terrible we can be.

Ahem.

I kind of feel like this is how we'll finally get shit done.

Port Angeles did itself proud at the annual tree-lighting yesterday!

Don't give up the ship. The right thing is always the right thing.

Lovely and quiet walk.

How terribly sad that sex trafficking and child sex abuse suvivors must fear for their lives because predatory men are in power.

Holy shit. 5 minutes in and the parallels to right now are chilling. #americanrevolution

I mean, Peter Coyote. #americanrevolution #kenburns

Damn, Threads is wild. Just got in a stupid argument with some profile-less person who said I was a Big Pharma shill because I believe in vaccines. Yeesh.

This photo perfectly illustrates the times we are in.

If this doesn't happen, we've truly fallen into the depths of darkness.

My emotional support today as I scroll the news. Yeesh.

This is my badass aunt who defied her then-husband to enlist in WAC nurse corps after Pearl Harbor. She went on to liberate Dachau and care for the scores of men with active TB in the camp.

I started ruining the workplace way back when a jerk boss told me to "stop dressing like a bohemian."

My local food bank calls it like it is: www.portangelesfoodbank.org/real-talk/20...

It's getting harder and harder to deny Trump is physically and mentally holding on by a thread.

Yo, Washington.

This is where we are now. Better be ready for some stuff, 'Mericans.

Either you walk the talk or you don't. No gray area, here.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry at this.

Well, that definitely was a Mighty Wind that hit my house around 4 a.m. Damn. #pnw

Bread day!
