Visiting the Republic of San Marino - a couple of shots from the old city, and a couple of sunset shots from Borgo-Maggiore. I don't use "breathtaking" lightly; but between the views, the light, and the wind...the old city is just that. Views to the east all the way to the Adriatic Sea.

It’s as if… wait for it… Trump has zero interest in the country and only seeks to stay in power with corruption and intimidation. We aren’t a serious country and we don’t have a functioning government.

Most prescient, clear/eyed work of writing I’ve read on reorg. Read it. Then act. “Call your senators. Call your representative. Not next week or later. Now. Tell them this is not a reorganization — it’s the destruction of a federal agency by executive fiat and that Congress must intervene.”

www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/ice-101-ho... If you're interested in the history and reasoning as to why DHS is so broken, please check out Garrett Graff's excellent piece linked above and below. This is the ONLY summary that I've seen thus far that accurately tells this important story!

"ICE 101" — How Trump changed ICE and CBP into a fascist secret police

ICE and CBP are fatally flawed products of the post-9/11 War on Terror — now Trump has weaponized those very flaws to occupy America.

On a trip to Saint-Malo, France last week, my daughter caught this iPhone shot of the joy and chaos of a group of kitesurfers enjoying a blustery afternoon off of Plage de Rochebonne. There's nothing like the ocean to help put everything back into its proper perspective...

www.npr.org/sections/the... I recently became aware of this incident, and the surrounding "conspiracy" that the weasel somehow shifted us into an alternate reality / timeline. It makes as much sense as anything, and the timing is totally right - 2016. Please send another weasel to fix it! 😁

From a 2017 visit to Turkmenistan: the Darvaza Crater, some "locals" in the Karakum desert, the desert, and a shot from Kunya-Urgench. (The trip was from Ashgabat to Kunya-Urgench / Daşoguz, and back). A beautiful country with some, um, "idiosyncrasies."
