Karoline Leavitt officially announced the "Launch of a large-scale investigation to find the people behind 'No Kings.'" I've saved her some time.

Here's another shot I took last week on my final Milky Way trip of the season. I still have tons of MW stuff to edit and/or re-edit from my 14 trips to the desert this year but I'm already looking forward to next season! #photography

This #TwoForTuesday post feels perfect for #SpookySeason I call it Hidden Danger because if you look closely you can see a huge garden spider blurred in the background and bits of her web above the two monarchs. #photographersofbluesky

The lack of empathy for others is disgraceful!

This is what leaders do. Nice job, Governor @governorwalz.mn.gov. God bless you! minnesotareformer.com/briefs/walz-...

Reminder:

There are street corner prostitutes who have more tact than this. This is the White House Press Secretary, demonstrating what a f*ck-shamble of an “administration”…now occupies OUR house.

The President of the United States thinks a test for dementia is an IQ test, and none of his sycophants will tell him he’s wrong. Let that sink in.

Our new health insurance premium feels more like a shakedown‼️ Thank you, @politicsgirl.bsky.social , for sharing your story. You’re right—there are millions like you. Our new premium is over $3K/month for a family of three. Could we scrape it together? Maybe. Should we have to? No. 1/2

Tim Walz: "People are gonna be lined up out here to get food, and we're talking about a damn ballroom. Don't lose the plot."

@pinkmouse.bsky.social I saved this just for you. Fall is here💙

I can’t qWHITE figure out what’s wrong here.

Gallego: "How can I negotiate? The president is in Asia for 5 days. Johnson is basically keeping the House out until January to protect pedophiles. So who am I negotiating with right now?"

My high-risk buddy was recently in the hospital. A healthcare worker there told him "this latest version of COVID isn't airborne" so he didn't have to worry about catching it from his roommate, who had tested positive. This is why we can't have nice things.

Might be time to update your priors; it might not have been typhus that tore through Napoleon's army on the Russian campaign but rather two other fevers—one foodborne, the other from body lice phys.org/news/2025-10...

It’s wild how so many people are gaslit into believing declining health and being sick all the time is just ‘normal’ in your 30s. No. This is what repeated COVID infections do. Source: x.com/G_GreeneFan/...

On the trail today. I had to pause on my hike today to enjoy this single leaf on my path.

40% of SNAP recipients are kids, 18% are elderly, 11% are disabled and of the rest, ~70% already have jobs. So unless your company’s hiring Junior Juice Box Interns, grandma and her walker, or knows how to fit more hours in a day, maybe cool it with the “just get a job” takes.

Just checking: the republicans that attacked and sent marshals to arrest Texas dems for not showing up to work (in an effort to protect voting rights, btw) are the same republicans that are not showing up to work, yeah?

Zelenskyy:"I want to express my particular gratitude to the UK&France:there is a decision from France to provide 🇺🇦 with additional Mirage fighter jets&air defense missiles,while the UK will continue to assist us with air defense by supplying missiles&producing interceptor drones – thank you for that

Not this time, SCOTUS. You’ll have to pry my wedding band off my hand.

Wildlife crossings (also called animal bridges) connect habitats that have been cut off by roads. They allow deer, wild boars, foxes, and many other animals to cross safely – and simultaneously reduce wildlife-related accidents. 🌿 Every bridge protects animals and people.💚

Why is the video that played Reagan’s actual speech propaganda but the video that showed Trump dropping shit on American citizens not?

Gee, I can’t imagine why…

This video from Portland is a metaphor for what is going on in America. ICE trying so hard to get Americans to cross a line and if they don't, dragging them across the line and violently attacking.

Gallego: "It's murder. It's very simple. If this president feels they are doing something illegally, then he should be using the Coast Guard. If this is an act of war, then you use our military and then you come and talk to us first. But this is murder ... it's disgusting."

ICE and CBP GOONS are patrolling Chicago in unmarked civilian cars, kidnapping and disappearing people for filming.

Rand Paul is right

“They’re literally putting 🇺🇸 in reverse”

Home, kitty, birds, husband and reality have me back, and while it is bitter-sweet always after fun adventures, I am happy about it too. When I checked cams today, I found that a female Purple Finch and some Downy Woodies had visited. This is a good sign for things to come. Happy fall, y'all! #birds
