It's going to take a lot more than 4 years to fix what he's broken in just two years, and many, many more to ensure this nightmare can never happen. But seeing the US political system, I think fixing it properly and forever is off the cards.
Text on a yellow background reads: Here’s the part no one is saying: The next president won’t get a real first term. They’ll inherit a repair job. Rebuilding the East Wing. Taking his name off buildings. Reconnecting with our allies. Restoring credibility. Undoing damage.

This is government-sanctioned sadism. Trump, et. al., celebrate violence, taking pleasure in people's pain & death. A large % of America shares his motives and worldview. Every effort must be made to reverse this profoundly pathologic trend. Call your Rep and Senators. Say NO to public exectutions.

#Mammal #Rodent #SquirrelSaturday Red Squirrel munching on catkins in the branches of a Birch tree.
A squirrel sitting on a slender branch, facing right with the sunlight coming from behind. Its fluffy tail hangs down, its front paws are clasped in front of it. The sun highlights its whiskers and the few yellow leaves in the muted grey green background.

Actor Keegan Allen was beaten & robbed at gunpoint in West Hollywood, then immediately took to social to blame Karen Bass. I’m sorry this happened to him, but W. Hollywood is its own city, patrolled by the LA County Sheriff’s Department. Karen Bass isn’t the mayor of WeHo. Wrong city. Wrong mayor.

a small #creek flowing down through a #GreenSat #forest in the #mountains #ColorADay #ScenicSaturday
a view of Scott Mountain Creek flowing along Hwy 3 in the Shasta-Trinity National Forest. this pristine creek begins off the lower SW slope of Scott Mountain, one of many peaks in the Trinity Mountains, and flows less than 5 miles to the confluence with Tangle Blue Creek which continues a little over 1 mile to the confluence with the Trinity River.
creeks may become an ocean, or lake, another creek, or a river, but I've never heard of a river merging with a creek and continuing as the creek.
and there's a cloudless blue sky.
