I enjoyed the 2024 movie, “Here“ we saw last night. Since I was a kid I’ve imagined what it would be like to stand at a certain place at home & wind time backwards & forwards into the far reaches of each to see how that space would change. Both “The Time Machine” movies scratched that itch as well.

“Election officials rely on postmarks to determine when voters mailed their ballots. In the 15 states with grace periods for ballots that were mailed by or on Election Day but arrive within a set number of days after, the postmark date often determines whether that vote gets counted.” #MailInBallots

Trying to explain to Mom what is happening as we watch “The Time Traveler’s Wife.” Hoo Boy! He just finished meeting his young mom on the subway & I told Mom it was like if she went back in time & got to talk to her dad who died when she was 12, but she was the age she is now. She nodded & smiled.

The renewed political smear campaign against Jack Smith comes as GOP faces massive losses in midterms. It is a distraction and a lie. Smith did his job as a prosecutor — investigated the facts, found evidence of crimes that could be proved beyond a reasonable doubt, and filed charges.

Rep. Castro stated that Wilber's treatment "thus far has amounted to torture." Meanwhile, DoorDash has remained entirely silent. This is the SECOND DoorDasher shot by ICE. Johan Sebastián Durán Guerrero was a 25-year-old DoorDash driver who was shot and killed by an ICE officer on July 13 in Maine.

It has been eight days since Wilber Rafael Garcés Pérez was shot by ICE while making a DoorDash delivery in Austin, Texas. He is currently facing a severe medical emergency. The bullet remains lodged in his back, and he is being held at the South Texas ICE Processing Center in Pearsall.

URGENT UPDATE:
8 days after ICE shot Wilber Rafael Garcés Pérez in the back while he was making a DoorDash delivery, the bullet remains in his body. Wilber is in agonizing pain inside a TX concentration camp, and the silence from DoorDash is deafening. A photo of Wilber smiling, before ICE shot him, is shown.

Just a reminder that Republicans in Congress cynically set up the Big Ugly Bill so that the worst of their health care cuts and premium increases will kick in next year, AFTER the November midterm elections.

The tax cuts in President Trump’s signature achievement were the Republicans’ answer to voters’ economic struggles, but its health care and food assistance cuts are taking a toll.

When the Sunday evening walk was very invigorating and squirrel-filled and you feel mellow enough to even let the little brother you (officially) despise rest his blonde head on yours

Two dogs lie on and across several dog beds on a wooden deck. One is sturdy and black and white with dappled fur and limpid chocolate brown eyes. The other is a shaggy blonde fox. The blonde dog rests his head on the head of the older black and white dog. They both look exhausted and satisfied

Port Kennedy Bone Cave is a cave in Valley Forge National Historical Park that once bore Pleistocene-aged fossils. The Academy of Natural Sciences has most of these fossils in its collection. The most captivating of these were, as you can imagine, the extinct ice age animals.
