Trump just ordered the military into Portland, and he’s giving them the green light to use lethal force on American citizens. Authoritarianism is an abstract concept but Trump is making its impacts real and tangible. Let’s be real about it: This is the beginning of dictatorship in America.

Kimmel: "The President of the United States made it very clear he wants to see me and the hundreds of people who work here fired from our jobs. Our leader celebrates Americans losing their livelihoods because he cannot take a joke."

Still no Rapture? If only the Lord were as punctual as He is wrathful. Glory!

Fire escape shadows, Building 5, 5 North Gate Rd Fort Monroe VA . Originally built as a two story building in 1879, it was first used as barracks. Over the years a third story was added to go along with many other renovations. The building ended it's service as the TRADOC administration building.

I'm planning a 3 day photography trip down to the Beaufort SC area next month. Have any of you ever gone down there to shoot, & can you give any recommendations as far as good places for sunrises and sunsets and other spots that I should hit while i'm there? Also, dining recommendations are welcome.

I think Costco is the best store ever conceived of by man, a position only strengthened by the fact that they now sell these monstrous pretzels

"I don't care that he's dead." "He's not a hero." "He's a scumbag." "He shouldn't be celebrated." No, no. I'm not saying that about Charlie Kirk. Charlie Kirk said that about George Floyd. Just in case anyone's interested in what he thought was fair to say about someone who was killed on camera.

A rare sight...a barn swallow that's not in motion. These little fellas fly in incredibly erratic patterns, and getting an in flight picture is tough. Caught this one out of the corner of my eye sitting on the railing as I was driving on the bridge over the moat on Ruckman Road at Fort Monroe

A predator sexually abused his kid, then confessed to his bishop. The Mormon Church told the bishop to keep quiet... and the abuse got even worse. A judge let the Church off the hook b/c *confessions are sacred* Now an appeals court says: Not so fast. www.friendlyatheist.com/p/arizona-ap...
