Night SkyBees ❤️ Time for bed!

I see Brooke’s tortilla— where’s the piece of chicken, broccoli, and one other thing? Speaking of “one other thing…” What’s the sickly looking, definitely-not-bacon looking thing on the other tray? @altusmc.altgov.info the people want to know… ideas?

It’s not law enforcement It’s ethnic cleansing

Serious question: If you’re a Democrat or liberal, but your spouse is MAGA … how do you actually make your marriage work? I’m genuinely curious — I don’t think I could do it.

Let’s follow the main USFS workers’ unions’ lead and get letters on the desks of our reps, please. Easy form letter. Takes all of half a minute. Politicians 💯% pay attention to these. Please ✍️ Then 🚀 NFFE’s post to help #SaveUSFS

Reading and handwriting develop our brains. Every human advancement period was accompanied with changes in literacy. Yes, agriculture and industry mattered. But would have been nothing without writing and reading. Inventories. Stories. Read. Write. Art. It matters.

J6 Committee Report Text in following link, in case you have not seen it. Particularly well written and informative. Here I've added a very powerful photo that summed up a lot of information for me.

Again, I'd like to point out that the felon was in office during the 2020 election. Is Patel really going to claim that the felon rigged the election so that Biden would win?

Babes don't forget to bring your plant babies back inside tonight, it's gonna be chilly! 🥶

Wildflower season is much heralded in the eastern part of the northwest, where treeless grasslands make certain species of wildflower fill the fields. However, even in forested areas west of the Cascades, a healthy forest can have wildflower in the understory, as seen in tonight's 9 o'clock photo.

That's normal for us. That's what's ungodly. One can only take so much for so long then one loses reality & the ability to figure out the right way from wrong the right line to step over. Coming back out of this is hell on the families, especially cuz soldiers cant explain their Hell.

This has been clear since 2022. Advances in EW, spectacular drone warfare, and integration of asymmetric and unconventional warfare strategies make AFU the absolute G.O.AT. of modern warfare. This is a thinking man’s war.

ICE is detaining Dr. Rubeliz Bolivar — a Venezuelan ER doctor with a valid work permit through 2030 — grabbed by CBP at McAllen airport on her way to her husband’s asylum interview. Her 5-year-old U.S. citizen daughter was held for 19 hours before being released to family.

The Senate voted 50-49 to overturn Biden’s 20-year mining ban next to the Boundary Waters, clearing the way for a Chilean company to dig a sulfide-ore copper mine directly upstream of America’s most visited wilderness. Sen. Tina Smith held the floor for hours trying to stop it.

HR 1897 — what Defenders of Wildlife calls "one of the worst-ever attempts to gut the Endangered Species Act" — is headed to the House floor this week. It guts listing petitions, recovery plans, and the core protections that saved the bald eagle.

The moon and Venus got cropped out. Here’s the full image.

There going to be an immense political push to look forward, not back, to "heal the nation." But the nation isn't going to be healed if we don't listen to the historians telling us that MAGA leaders must be imprisoned, their entire movement destroyed, the earth salted, real American values restored.

When the topic turns to "what comes next" and "what should we do," we should defer to historians in the same way we defer to doctors on vaccines, lawyers on criminal defense and military generals on strategy and tactics. They're going to tell us stuff like this and it's vital to America's future.

I would like to point out that the felon was in office at the time of the 2020 election.

Grumpy rant: A feud requires that both sides are fighting. What you are seeing is a Pope pontificating about war and peace and a President feeling called out by statements that don't even mention him and quixotic yelling. The fighting frame lures clicks and sows discord, so it gets magnified.

Robert may not have quite the retirement he expected. These scandals will brew a little, and the next administration needs to go after him, Thomas, Kennedy (the one who retired suddenly after possible threats from Trump), and Alito. We can take back SCOTUS from corruption by enforcing the law.

Time to clean out the SCOTUS.

When trump claim ”liberals change the sex of your kids while they’re in school” Media should ask him follow ups When he claims he stopped 8-9 wars, media should ask.. and when he steals money openly.. Come on media, there’s one every day!

NEW: UAE scholar Abdulkhaleq Abdulla says the UAE no longer needs U.S. protection, calling American bases a “burden, not a strategic asset” and suggesting they should be closed. The United States’ standing in the region has been obliterated.

ICYMI: In a major victory for student voters, a federal judge blocked Indiana’s ban on the use of student IDs for voter identification. “There is no evidence that student IDs have been used to engage in voter fraud or any other voting-related misconduct,” the court concluded.

I don’t want to listen to the testimony again to get the precise quote, so take my word for it Chief Shultz said something akin to “our lawyers said we could do it.” Which @altusda.altgov.info helpfully pointed out… is a whole issue unto itself.

When I am in a better mood, I might watch the rest of it. I stopped listening early, after someone asked the Chief, “Do you believe you have the authority to do this reorganization without Congress okaying it.” The Chief basically responded “USDA counsel said we could do it.” Alrighty then 👍

I tried to watch this today and could not. My feeling: no one ever voted for beetle-eyed men whining about “federalism.” And they didn’t vote for dismantling the Forest Service and parting it off to the greedy. What’s been proposed is clearly contrary to legislative intent. Shameful Chief.

Iran doesn't need nukes. They just need to blockade the oil. That's something they just learned. Because Trump is an asshole.

Pet (feral cat) and his possum friend. Sigh…

I don't believe this. I think it has more to do with the fact that Vance failed last time. I love the fact that the felon made the claim that Vance was great. That tells me Vance's days are numbered.

My mom in law is a wonderful person. She has alzheimers. She has continued to have a sunny disposition even when she is having bad days. And I cannot conceive of her being put into a deportation or genocidal camp. It makes me so sad. And angry. I think I'd be shot trying to get her out.

Try writing a bit in someone else's voice. Make an outline of what you want to say and write it in Hemingway or Dave Barry or Kingsolver or whatever floats your boat. You can go back and revoice it later.

Zelenskyy leads again.

I can talk about it on an anon account but I do also speak without that filter. We are contributing to our own invisibility. Yes. Sp3aking comes at a huge coat and not everyone can afford it. But, I can. I am fine. I thrived (tho ptsd is a bitch). Men, hear me: I like you. Stand with me.

For last night wife is away cooked Kimchi jiggae for kid1 and kid2. With rice, of course, and a quick Korean cucumber salad. Very satisfying. Cooked lots because the flavors intensify the next day so leftovers are great. Used a combo of recipes—this one /1 www.maangchi.com/recipe/kimch...
