Usually, when I need an appointment at the VA, I can get one within 2 weeks. Today, I called for an appointment and the next available is in May, 2026. Firing 35K people will do that. The Trump administration hates veterans.

Sweet, the thumbnail is showing again. Thanks!

This morning the very evil President of the USA very predictably mocked the death of a good man. He did so to distract from his crimes, but also because he’s evil and can’t help rejoicing over the murder of his critics. Go ahead, Donold. Have your fun, when life is done, a nightmare waits for you.

Remember when there was so much anger about the Charlie Kirk comments? How is this different? Shouldn’t he lose his job? Many did.

Mass shootings in the US, per Gun Violence Archive: 2015: 332 2016: 383 2017: 347 2018: 335 2019: 414 2020: 611 2021: 689 2022: 644 2023: 659 2024: 503 So far in 2025...392 mass shootings in 349 days. We do not have to keep living like this.

I miss having a President and its Government that abides by the Rule of Law.

Merriam-Webster’s human editors have chosen ‘slop’ as the 2025 Word of the Year.

As Pete Hegseth once said, “If you’re doing something that is just completely unlawful and ruthless, then there is a consequence for that.” Urge your Members of Congress to demand an immediate, public investigation into Hegseth’s extrajudicial killings in the Caribbean and Pacific.

This is a real headline on the New York Times website. Support independent media.

Bless the Muslim man who disarmed a terrorist shooter in Australia!

It's Sunday! If you are working today, Affirmation Coyote hopes the day goes smoothly.

Extraordinary courage from Ahmed al Ahmed, a Muslim, 43-year-old father of two, who bravely risked his life to save his neighbors celebrating Hanukkah. Praying for his full & speedy recovery. And so deeply inspired by his example.

M31 is our neighbor in the ocean of the universe. I recently showed that my telescope can detect individual stars 2.5Mio LY away. Imaging the entire galaxy with the same telescope is more difficult. This #astrophotography with my #CelestonOrigin is a mosaic from 6 images, each 1h of exposure time.

This one isn’t downloadable but if you have TikTok go watch it. Well worth your time www.tiktok.com/t/ZTr4gRL7v/

#ProudBlue #OneV1 youtube.com/shorts/uo0Az... We MUST flip the Senate! If we don’t, Republicans will pick Supreme Court justices. And we know how that will play out. This is NOT an exercise, this is our future. Please pay attention. We have one shot at this. Make it count.

Meet the Red Fody! Native to Madagascar, it has also been introduced to several Indian Ocean islands and parts of Africa. During breeding, males become vivid red to attract mates and signal dominance Once the season ends, they moult back into a dull brown! #birds #photo #birding #animals #nature

Wow! The Democracy Docket YouTube channel now has more than 600,000 subscribers.

Lovely to see a Glossy Ibis over Worth Marsh.

The Presidency was never intended to be a safe haven for criminals.

Remember: The oligarchs who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us so they can become more powerful. They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see where all the wealth and power have gone. Don't fall for it.

I want ANYTHING to taste as good as this leaf does to him

As Canadians we refuse to let fear, manipulation and bully tactics erode our free and stable democracy. Tyranny survives on silence and we will never be muted by a dementia addled diaper wearing Pedophile in Chief. We stand strong & firm keeping the line between authority & oppression unbreakable.

If you are scared to criticise them. They control you.
