Another more traditional view of the ornate interior of Sainte-Chapelle, Paris #Photography #Architecture #Interior #Paris 📷

Sainte-Chapelle, Paris, 2023. It’s a dark and rainy day in Portland, Oregon, and I felt the need for some color in my life. I think this fits the bill. #Photography #Architecture #Interior #Paris #France 📷

See Robert Weissman's testimony: bsky.app/profile/publ...

That cycle of abuse and wanting to hurt children is at the root of everything from getting rid of vaccine mandates to not stopping mass shootings to ending age of consent laws to the Epstein horrors. You can dress it up however, but that’s what’s playing out in the rise of fascism.

This man lost his legs for America... He has some things to say.

Remember her name: Aliya Rahman Her testimony is everything and it deserves to be heard, by everyone. Decide for yourself. It’s powerful. It’s gut-wrenching. And no one should have to survive what she did. ICE MUST GO‼️

I love this for Canadian Conservitives... Pierre's "win," isn't what it appears. Do the math. 😂😂😂 But we do thank you, for leaving him in position. 😌😏

A nice shot of tonight's full moon.

✨ Thanks for the magic, Catherine 🇨🇦❤️ #CatherineOhara #SchittsCreek #MoiraRose #fanart #portraitart

THIS!

America has reached a tipping point on fascism – and on opposition to it. My latest in The Guardian: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2026/jan/27/america-tipping-point-fascism-opposition

Apple & Google removed ICE tracking apps in their app stores. TikTok reportedly suppressed videos criticizing ICE & the shooting of Alex Pretti. Meta blocked Facebook groups tracking ICE & links to a database of agents that the government wants to keep secret. Big Tech is enabling Trump's regime.

Do pediatricians make large profits from vaccines? www.statnews.com/2026/01/29/p... via @statnews.com Nope. No. And nah. Physicians "keep vaccinating, not because it’s profitable (it usually isn’t), but because it protects children."

👏 👏 👏 #Protests

Walz: "To Americans who are watching this, I've got a question for you: What side do you want to be on? The side of an all powerful federal govt that can kill, injury, menace, & kidnap its citizens off the streets? Or on the side of a nurse at the VA hospital who died bearing witness to such govt?"

@nowhari.bsky.social Glad you’re still posting. That was a great interview with Paul Salopek. Thank you.

Jack Smith: "My fear is that we have seen the rule of law function in our country for so long that many of us have come to take it for granted. The rule of law is not self-executing. It depends on our collective commitment to apply it."

"Moral force of every imaginable kind" This is really really good news. People making it extremely hard for ICE to set up new detention camps.

Soft rain today at Carlingwark Loch.

THE TENTH LEVEL was a made-for-TV drama, 50 years ago, starring William Shatner in one of his most powerful performances ever. It was inspired by the Stanley Milgram obedience research experiments, which studied the willingness to “just follow orders.” youtu.be/wzV_Z6EXhpE

IMPORTANT!!!!!!!!!!

What I'm listening to today: "War" Sinead O'Connor covering Bob Marley, stripped down, sharpened, into something like a weapon. This ran live on TV and all anyone talked about was the career-ending final seconds. No one understood why she did it. Child abuse? Absurd www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZINQ...

What do these companies have in common? -Cigna -Comcast -General Mills -Allstate -Marriott -Hilton -Walmart -Amazon -Microsoft -Meta All promised after January 6, 2021 to stop funding lawmakers who tried to overturn the 2020 election. And all have broken that promise.

Yeah, this was planned months ago.

Fascists don't want to stop mass shooting. It helps them to get rid of people. Cruelty is their purpose.

Another #Groups pic for #Birdoftheday. This is one I've shared before, but this is a different crop. Canada geese goslings being overlooked by a parent, from back in May of this year. #birds #photography
