She has the microphone. She has immunity. If her concern were really about the victims, names in The Epstein Files would be said out loud — on the House floor. Silence isn’t caution. It’s a choice.

Venice is so weird when you get out of the tourist haunts. This is in the street. What’s going on?

Our next follower will bring us to 400, a lovely number to end the year & ring in the new. Who will join us to learn about the environmental & human impacts of cruise ships in our harbor? #Portland #Maine #CascoBay #Cruiseships #banscrubbers

my hope for the new year is that people push themselves to read more. read fiction, nonfiction, read books that make you uncomfortable, books you think might bore you, read books written 150 years ago, poetry, history books, science books, read international books. whatever form it takes, just read

Ever wondered how St Mark's in Venice looks in the fog? Wonder no more! #venice #caigo #fog

That philosophy applied not only to the products, but also where those products were sold. This is the Olivetti Showroom, St. Mark’s Square, Venice.

So much love to all of my fellow radical left scum…

Time for rapid, deep introspection by the town's citizenry, in my opinion. Apart from immediate change in cruise ship volume in the local government's proposal, creep is built into the scheme. For a small town, you don't know what you've got — 'til its gone. www.bangordailynews.com/2025/12/26/m...

Friends, I ask you for donations for our Defenders. Ukrainian Warriors from the 104th Territorial Defense Brigade, who are defending Ukrainian land in Sumy region, urgently need our help to purchase an off-road vehicle for combat missions. Their previous vehicle was destroyed by a Russian drone⤵️

We found it be sad (& typical) that residents have been left out of the conversation: “The changes are a compilation of discussions with staff, council, merchants & the cruise industry, City Manager Tom Luttrell said. He said nothing is set in stone and will be discussed for a second time Dec. 30.”

No. Find other ways to support Rockland. More tourism = eco disaster.

“We must protect and preserve Hawaiʻi’s natural resources and safeguard the health of our residents. Visitors who benefit from our island’s resources have a shared responsibility to help preserve them,” Governor Josh Green said.

In our experience, residents don’t count at all. No consultation or discussions. Cruise industry privatizes the profits and forces impacts and costs onto residents. “Suck it, locals” seems to be the rule.

I don't think most Americans have any idea how dangerous it is for a president to declare an entire ethnic group to be "garbage." This is how the worst atrocities in human history have begun.

I don’t know who or for how much the cruise ship industry is bribing Rockland City Council to allow behemoths to destroy Rockland’s waters, marine life, air quality and the safety of your residents, but having seen their damage elsewhere, be warned, cruise visitors will not help local businesses.

We sincerely hope the good people of Rockland understand what they will be getting with more cruise ships: Health destroying pollution Damage to the marine environment Potential contamination from infectious diseases Lost opportunity as more valuable land tourists stay away to avoid cruise crowds

Winter sun. #caturday

Hawaii has implemented a cruise passenger tax to help mitigate the consequential environmental damage caused by these sea faring climate disasters. So far, Hawaii is winning!!! A model for all states that endure the tremendous pollution from the cruise industry.

“A good many of the ordinary ways of living go when people begin to live up in the air.” Maeve Brennan captures the loss of traditional, grounded life when urban change, like elevated trains or modern living, disconnects people from the familiar rhythms of the street.

A potential model for all states. Watching closely! Your cruise to Hawaii just got a lot more expensive. #climatetax #cruiseships

Fantastic news from Hawaii ~ Federal judge upholds Hawaii's new climate change tax on cruise passengers! A federal judge's ruling allows Hawaii's new tourist tax, which includes a levy on cruise ship passengers, to take effect in 2026 The tax is estimated to generate nearly $100 million annually.

🗞️🚢⛽️⚫️❄️ @imohq.bsky.social Polar Fuels Proposal for Arctic Shipping Welcomed by Clean Arctic Alliance

French authorities have put a departmentwide set of cruise limits into force along the Alpes Maritimes coastline, covering high demand Riviera stops like Nice, Cannes, Villefranche sur Mer, and Menton. What should travelers do? Skip the polluting & chaotic cruise & take a land vacation instead.

You know those Reddit posts that are like, "what's a true thing that sounds completely made up"? "The State of Maine just allows a private company to extract water from the ground and sell it for massive profits while compensating the people of Maine essentially fuck all" probably qualifies.
