What sucks is we have so much compassion fatigue we really don't care these farmers are getting exactly what they voted for. We tried to tell them & they laughed at us. They aren't laughing now I guess. Wish I could get a bailout for how much my business has suffered due to the decline of tourists.

I hope you'll take a moment for these beautiful parting words from the incomparable Jane Goodall. (And she threw in a little salt for the evil ones, too)

This is the most powerful observation I’ve read on this platform.

Pointer Sisters #AT40 Nows the time for all good men To get together with oneanother We got to iron out our problems And iron out our quarrels And try to live as brothers And try to find peace within Without stepping on one another And do respect the women of the world Remember you all had mothers

Fall is the perfect time to go camping! It's not too hot, the colors are stunning and nothing is crowded! Book a stay here at Waterfall Sanctuary Campground & Retreat Center & explore the gorgeous Columbia River Gorge! The café is warm and we have great coffee! Www.waterfallsanctuary.com

I've been watching ST:Enterprise lately. I now remember why I thought it was the worst ST. I mean, it's not the worst TV show I've ever seen, but def not great. It's good to fall asleep to since it isn't engaging enough to hold my interest & the acting in it is so-so. Good background noise I guess?

Northern lights this weekend: “Washington, Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Michigan and Maine could also see the lights, but have a lower chance. Northern parts of some states may also have the opportunity to view the lights on Saturday www.msn.com/en-us/weathe...

Attn Black people, stop scrolling. This is not a drill: Chicago

this is wild: while Stephen Miller's guy was in Minnesota for his uncle's funeral, somebody was able to see his entire phone and take pictures of his Signal group chats talking about military deployments to Portland, and brought them to the Strib (gift link: www.startribune.com/trump-offici...)

FINALLY!!!!!!! People are speaking up, people are protesting in peaceful ways, calling out everything and everyone, using positions of power to stand up, and it's working!!!

It’s no surprise the men taking these jobs are hateful, weak, & insecure. Are they at home body slamming the women in their lives? Has anyone thought about that?

Villa: The community is not going out to shop. We are seeing people who are still fearful of sending their children to school… They’re relying on a network that they’ve created to help with that. We are seeing grocery stores empty and volunteers having to make food runs for people in the community.

And stop chiming in with your negative comments when Black folks tell other Black folks to “stay home”. It’s for our safety as well as yours. Also, nobody asked you! She 👇🏾 gets it…

Imagine paying rent, buying groceries, and then get a bill with your insurance tripling. This could hit your inbox—and your future. HOW IT STARTED: $307 HOW IT’S GOING: $964

Elizabeth Warren: "The president said 'I am going to impose a lot more pain on my fellow American citizens. I'm going to impose a lot more pain on people in NY who need to use those tunnels so I can get my way politically.' To me, that is a place to stop & say, then we're ready to fight about this"

This is not a fight about tax credits. This is a fight over your ability to go to a pharmacy and afford your insulin. We have the chance to protect the health care of millions of Americans. We need to take it.

We were better for having her in this world. Jane Goodall

Treat the president’s statements seriously, as he intends far more severe consequences than this.

Enjoy some truth about the #TrumpShutdown @markwarner.bsky.social

BREAKING Dr. Jane Goodall has died. She was 91. It is impossible to sum up the impact she has had on our world and on science in a social media post. She lived a long and incredible life but I am devastated. Full Story: bit.ly/4pPcNFH

Priorities.

We are thrilled to announce that our NEW Large Language Model will be released on 11.18.25.

AOC: I think there's two things that are happening at once: One, there absolutely is an unprecedented abuse of power, destruction of norms, erosion of our government and our democracy in order to prop up an authoritarian style of governance However, they are weaker than they look…

CNBC: Is it true that you want to restore American taxpayer benefits to illegal immigrants. JEFFRIES: This is also an outright lie. Federal law prohibits the use of taxpayer dollars to provide medical coverage to undocumented individuals. That's the law.

Did anyone watch the whole hegseth/rump speech to the military? I just can't stand to watch the whole thing, I tried, made it about 5 minutes. Can I get a synopsis instead? Lol.

Watching the documentary called Invisible History: Middle Florida's Hidden Roots, and it's really good. They should play this in all schools. It's so important to remember this country was built on the backs of slaves, and the government and immigrants stealing land from the indigenous peoples.

It certainly appears the United States murdered an innocent fisherman who was a husband and father to four children, claimed he was a "narco-terrorist," posted a video of the execution, and then made jokes about it
