A few pictures from Baja California. On the beach from horseback near the small town of La Jolla, BC, and La Bufadora. Beautiful.

On this day, if you’ve not already familiarized yourself after K-Dot’s brilliant halftime performance, read up on the term “Forty acres and a mule.” Happy Juneteenth, my friends. Love and peace.

What a perfect trip to take while reading “Blue Mind” (…thanks for the recommend @robinreed.bsky.social ) Lake Ontario from Fort Niagara. The sound of the water, and the wind blowing through the tree. A perfect moment of zen… As well, a perfect full rainbow over the falls.

My buddy appreciating the safety of the tall grass… A bit of sage sprinkled into the vegetable garden to make it known it is off limits, which is respected. Everything else is fair game… including the occasional apple. Peace, my friend.

usdemsocialists EXACTLY. Show everyone they're not alone. Real change doesn’t start quietly. It starts when people show up and make dissent impossible to ignore. Seeing thousands, then millions, openly rejecting the status quo forces momentum.

These two see me regularly looking down to them from the deck. This morning was the first time they saw me at ground level. They seemed to be studying me - as if I was somehow different than they were expecting. Perfect.

Given the current state of our union, I think it worth pointing out that the USA Hockey merch page has tshirts, hoodies and other merch specific to the USA Women’s Gold Medal achievement.

Omar is a badass… the still frames of her during the attack by that warped-minded belligerent fool… One hand fisted and ready to throw, the other wielding a pen in position for a combination strike… and that “BRING IT MFER!” look on her face… …badass indeed…

ICE & U.S. Customs & Border Protection employed at least 30 people with sexual & violent criminal histories in recent years. At least 20 agents committed offenses with underage victims. The bulk of abuse happened within the last two years. This article includes names of the agents.

All of this - the Davos speech, the Jack Smith hearing, the Greenland threats, the NATO insults, the Venezuela war crimes, the Minnesota murders, the Philadelphia threats, the climate confusion… all of it is a deflection to get us talking about anything but the Epstein files #ReleaseTheFuckingFiles

Every representative who voted yes voted for more brutalization of our neighbors, more kidnapping of our children, more trampling of our rights, and more murder from this government.
These House Democrats just voted with Republicans to give ICE more money:
Jared Golden (ME-02)
Don Davis (NC-01)
Tom Suozzi (NY-03)
Laura Gillen (NY-04)
