Lopez Island is one of my favorite places, as are many of the wild and rural places of the West. Still like animal and nature posts, but will block unknown followers without ANY pro-democracy/anti-dictatorship posts.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. Itβs dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Another friend put it to me like this: "ICE has made the classic Nazi mistake. They've invaded a winter people in the winter."
Any chance cowardly GOP lawmakers will stop this dangerous insanity?

Truer words were never spoken
Danish and Greenland ministers just left the White House. It did not go well.
I have a long discussion here of Trump's attempt to get Greenland and why it could lead to World War III.

Calling your Senator is worth it it. In this case, especially if you have a Republican Senator or reluctant Democrat. Sometimes you even get to talk to a real live person. π
I was desperate for some organization, so I put together a list of places you can donate or buy things for to support folks in Minnesota.
If you have places for me to add, please DM me.
Call your Senator to stop additional funding for ICE

I agree with Secretary Noem that this was an act of domestic terrorism.
However, I disagree about who the terrorist is.
These amazing teens have more courage in them than the hundreds of Republicans in the House, Senate, and Trump's Cabinet, all put together.

A must read for those who wonder what can be done to resist ICE

JUST IN: A tidal wave of 30,000 students hit the streets in Charlotte, walking out to confront ICE with sheer numbers and zero hesitation.
This is a generation refusing to be controlled.
Donβt remember cruelty being one of the commandments or teachings. They must be following some other creed.
Another happy animal story

They're placing signs at the locations that read, 'ICE stole someone here'..."

Glad to see this wild episode from the Salish Sea has gone viral. I know orcas gotta eat but good luck not rooting for the seal. Worth a watch if you could use a smile.
Thanksgiving-Cyber Monday, my wallet's ignoring Target, Home Depot, & Amazon. I'm tired of corporations enabling this administration ditching DEI, allowing ICE to terrorize our communities, & chase tax breaks. Join me! P.S. But support local businesses. #WeAintBuyingIt π« app.sosha.ai/s/2DokMF3T
These two arguing about the proper conduct of science is like a pair of sewer rats arguing about French cooking techniques after finding a four day old soufflΓ© in the dumpster
The investments in private prisons is pervasive. WA state investment board have these (passive?) investments in their public equity portfolio (retirement funds). Standards are to be met - HA! I have informed by rep of my concerns. CA retirement funds have divested. Investigation and campaign needed.
Agree, that if the shutdown lasted too long polls would have been bad for both parties and still the Rβs wouldnβt have surrendered. Need strategic thinking, an endgame, and new leadership.
"Democrats could have held the line on the shutdown, and spent weeks watching Trumpβs approval ratings fall," writes @jonathanbchait.bsky.social
Instead, he argues, they're making a mistake by giving in:
