Abolish DHS. If you can imagine a world before Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, you can imagine a world without the Department of Homeland Security. My latest at @startribune.com. (gift link)

I wrote this yesterday about the hero city of Minneapolis www.youtube.com/watch?v=IKOW...

Absolutely incredible skies Wednesday night. Both gorgeous and kinda apocalyptic.

Hey, @johngcole.bsky.social you might find this funny. Not sure how to get it to Watergirl for her funny, positive blog posts.

yo dre I got something to say (opens law textbook) www.kqed.org/news/1206959...

I don’t mean to sound extreme, but I don’t think we should have torture camps for people with criminal records either.

Dogs so happy to go on morning walk after a couple of sick days off.

Tiny bit of blue sky for BlueSky. Morning walk.

From my morning walk with the dogs. Good to get out after 8.25" rain.

Being alive right now is trying to balance “I want to stay informed” with “this is actively destroying my mental health”

it has become abundantly clear that Democrats from NY should not now and ever should be in leadership positions

Yet more shrooms! It's been raining mushrooms here.

More morning walk mushrooms. Can you find the fakes?

Some mushrooms from my morning walk. #fungifriends

Please wish this girl a happy 10th birthday! Time has flown by since her gotcha day just over 8 years ago. We got a soggy windy walk in this morning and now it's snuggle time! #dogsofbluesky #morningwalk

As the white majority in the US gets slimmer, hardcore racists are exploiting the downward mobility of politically influential middle-class whites by blaming encroaching pluralism rather than exhausted capitalism. This lets them obscure the exploitation of nonwhite people and impede solidarity.

and if you aren’t able to give, please share! here’s the direct link from @mjamurphy.bsky.social:

I love using the real-time analytics in my shop, but it can be a little depressing... like now! 😔😅 ⬇️ Please do me a favour & go and browse my shop... you might even see a Christmas gift for a bird lover! 🙏🎁😀 Here's the link to my shop; www.carlbovis.com/shop-3 🐦❤️

Some cool mushrooms from today's morning walk. This time of year you don't get blossoms blooming but you do get a wide variety of mushrooms.

From my morning walk, crossing the giant mossy log bridge. I've been afraid to cross it but have been tempted to. Thought I should do it before the moss gets all soggy again this winter.

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

From a morning walk this week, threading a needle in nature.

Oddity on morning walk. You've heard of forest bathing but what about forest boating?

Hearing a call for dog photos. This one here has taken to stopping where the path is narrow, looking back over her shoulder with a grin and lots of wags and blocking me in until I give her buns or forehead scritches! After I obey she zooms off racing to the next narrow path. #dogsofbluesky

Mushrooms on my morning walk. Boletes this time. #mushrooms #morningwalk

From my morning walk. Mushrooms!

Today is the last day of our online auction to raise money to keep Western Hills Garden chugging along. Some amazing opportunities to stay here and wake up to the beauty of this place. Great hiking/biking/winetasting—15 minutes from the Russian River and 15 minutes from the ocean/Bodega beaches.

Memphis writer Dan Conaway, who helped found the @dailymemphian.bsky.social & comes from a century of local journalism, has just been censored by his own publication. Here’s the column they wouldn't run. Please consider writing: [email protected] [email protected] Stand with Dan.

I think it’s high time we take back the national narrative. For centuries Americans of all races, genders, religions, and abilities have worked to create a more perfect union, and we should shout from the rooftops that WE are America. Not these idiot white supremacist authoritarians.

@pbump.com ???

If you want to put back statues and memorials and names of Confederate traitors while tearing down museum exhibitions on slavery because they don't show the greatness of the nation... the nation whose history you're celebrating is whiteness. The kind of nationalist you are is a white nationalist.

People often mistake my commitment to wanting everyone to have human rights and healthcare to mean I love everyone or something. I do not. I just think baseline survival shouldn't be based on who I personally like. I reserve the right to hate folks and never ever give them a moment of time, tho.

i wrote about how trump is hurting the veterans with his actions at the va and today the va press secretary made it clear to us they didn't like what we wrote. please click and share this story so you can see the kind of thing the trump administration does not like www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...
