Privilege. I have a vehicle that gets me to trail heads, a mobile and healthy body to take me off road, a career that allows for weekends off. I hope we maintain the privilege of public lands and wilderness

Idaho scares me. They have lost their minds. I passed a confederate flag on the way to the trail head. However, this land is your land, this land is my land so off to Idaho I went.

Joy as an act of resistance. Hiked to an alpine lake. Enjoyed mini salami sandwiches, with pickled asparagus and watched the sparkles on the water. PNW magic.

For fun and with consent I asked a coworker to prove he is a US citizen on the spot. With confidence he said: “I have my drivers license!” Nope. “But it’s a real ID!” Nope. “I have my social security card on me!” Also a nope.”

I have no objection to the word “cunt” or calling people a cunt. However, the language of the resistance is getting a bit misogynistic. For every ho, cunt, and bitch can we mix in some zingers like: saggy ball sack, tiny dicked baby, beta, and simp?

A regret I did not see coming after moving to the Inland NW from Buffalo, NY: good food. I miss seasoned, spicy, flavorful food! The Inland NW is so white they don’t even use salt (too spicy!). And get out of here with “Spokane is a foodie city” because I will laugh in your face. Gross.

A man with authority over me, in a professional setting asked me: “Are you happy.” I looked him dead in the eye, “no.” *silence* “Are you happy enough” he countered.” Also, “no.” And that was that. And that’s been living rent free in my head for 2 days. Good talk, bro?

The Dems are gonna run Harris again aren’t they? Lots of pro Harris, wistful postings lately, out of the blue (see what I did there) She wasn’t the right candidate then and she won’t be (yes, I voted for her) The whole lot has got to go. They told us who they are. Let’s believe them.

Damn it! I intentionally ordered this in 2025 to avoid just this. It took 4 weeks to arrive (the passes NEVER take that long). Hate to ask for a refund from the National Parks but this is not OK. Yes, I will be covering the front of this pass.

There is no such legal or other "absolute immunity" protection for police or other law enforcement. All can be held responsible for their actions if they acted above and beyond their authority. "Self defense" can be argued as a legal defense but it must be justified. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...

The Trump Administration is no longer hiding their Nazi inspiration, with Noem adopting a slogan coined by convicted Nazi war criminal Kurt Daluebe, who ordered the murder of every male in Lidice in retaliation for the death of a single SS officer. Is this Trump's plan for American cities?

We are putting too much hope into “the eventual Nuremberg 2.0 trials.” They might never come and we can’t assume they will. We must not rest on this assumption. It makes us lazy and complicit.

As the USA races towards fascism I like to distract myself by following closely and interjecting myself into the bromance between @tristentaylor.bsky.social and @boerewoes.bsky.social. The love/hate between you two is basically the only things keeping my hope alive.

Now that Trump has shut down the government, Democrats need to be loud and confident in our argument. No 75% premium increases. No lawlessness. That’s what we are fighting for. The people will be with us. But only if we show strength.

We did little but sat around hoping for a hero to save us from a collapsing Democracy. We realized too late that we were the heros the USA needed. We now wring our hands, “but what could we have done!?” we cry. We could have tried. I’m scared and you should be too.

And look at the Dems sitting so nicely. Their scowls and little signs are so powerful. Very mindful. Very demure. What resistance you’re showing. You are losers. All of you should have not gone, and engaged with your constituents instead or followed Al Green’s lead. Thank you Representative Green!
