Today, I made the decision to unfollow & remove from my lists any former Republican turned Democratic ally, along with their media outlets. Their unfettered attacks on Hasan Piker, AOC, & the DSA are proof that they are not honest brokers trying to save democracy, just performative non-fascists.

I have issues with former Republicans and Republican enablers who ignored the racism, bigotry, misogyny, homophobia, transphobia, and xenophobia of their party for more than 50 years, and who now want to bemoan the predictable outcome of their blindness. Fact: The Southern Strategy was racist.

September 2026– Costa Rica 🇨🇷 Between storm-blue horizons and embers of fading light, the anchored boats keep their quiet watch. The tide whispers to the shore, and for a moment, the whole world drifts gently between day and dream. Three sunsets left, each one a goodbye. 🌊 #Photography

Calm coastal bay at sunset with several small boats anchored on still water. The sky glows with soft pink, orange, purple, and blue clouds, reflected in the gentle waves along a sandy shoreline.

A dark strip of land forms the horizon. The shoreline is lined with dense trees that appear almost black in silhouette because of the strong backlighting from the sky. The treeline stretches from left to right, separating water below from sky above.

A few tiny birds can be seen high in the sky as small dark specks, adding a subtle sense of life and scale.

Overall, the image conveys a feeling of quiet contemplation. The anchored boats, calm water, dark shoreline, and expansive sky combine to create a peaceful coastal scene where the changing light of day paints the clouds in a rich blend of warm and cool colors. It feels serene, spacious, and almost cinematic, as though nature has paused for a moment between daylight and darkness.

September 2026– Jacó Beach - Costa Rica 🇨🇷 Eight sunsets remain, dark sands whisper, palms bow, waves breathe against the shore. I carry the hush of Costa Rica’s wild heart as I drift toward Puerto Rico’s horizon. #Photography

A wide sandy beach stretches across the foreground, the sand dark and smooth with faint footprints and scattered driftwood. Gentle waves roll in from the ocean, their white foam contrasting against the darker shore. Above, the sky is partly cloudy, with soft light filtering through. On the left, a forested headland juts into the water, adding depth to the horizon. A palm frond hangs down from the top edge, framing the tranquil coastal scene like a natural curtain.

The beach here is again dark brown sand, smooth and expansive. The ocean extends outward, waves breaking softly near the shore. A few small figures, likely surfers or swimmers, are visible in the water, adding a sense of scale and life to the scene. The sky is partly cloudy, with patches of blue peeking through, giving the impression of shifting weather. In the upper right corner, a palm frond arcs downward, hinting at tropical surroundings and framing the seaside view.

The image shows two human hands gently cupping a small globe of Earth. The globe is bright and colorful, with visible continents and oceans, symbolizing the planet being held with care. Resting on top of the globe is a white dove, a universal symbol of peace. The dove has an olive branch in its beak, reinforcing the theme of harmony and reconciliation.

Above and below the central imagery, there is text. The top line reads:

Coldplay Cam does it again! Kash Patel caught in a baaad situation; country music sensation girlfriend says she’s not surprised. #KashPatel #Bestiality

Kash Patel is holding a goat in his arms. Both Kash and the goat share the same comical, wide-eyed, open-mouthed expression, as if they are equally surprised or shocked. The goat is dressed in a humorous outfit: a black garment, a pearl necklace around its neck, and a gold bracelet on one leg, giving it a playful, human-like appearance. The scene is indoors, and the image is framed in a circular spotlight style, almost as if it’s being projected on a stage or large screen. The overall effect is lighthearted and amusing, with the matching expressions between human and animal adding to the comedy.

Reports in the world news say that Irish President Cathrine Connolly told 47 to shove his shillelagh where the shenanigans don’t shine. The after-meeting photos seem to confirm that narrative. #TrumpInIreland #ConnollyMeeting #USIrelandRelations #TrumpVisit

The U.S. President is walking forward, dressed formally in a dark blue suit, a crisp white shirt, and a red striped tie. His posture is upright, while his bruised, makeup-laden hands hang heavily at his sides. His facial expression appears angry, with his lips pressed together and his eyes slightly narrowed, giving him a childlike look, as though he has just been told to ‘go to his room.’

Just behind him is Irish President Katherine Connolly. She is wearing a dark outfit with light trim along the edges, accessorized with a necklace. Her demeanor is calm, stern-faced, and dignified.

The U.S. President is wearing a blue suit, a white dress shirt, and a red tie that hangs loosely around his neck, not fully tightened. In one hand, he holds a red cap. His face shows a tired, slightly somber expression. His mouth is relaxed, not smiling, and his eyes appear heavy, as though he is deep in thought or weary. The loosened tie and the casual way he carries the cap contrast with the usual formality of his public image, giving the impression of a sullen, dejected man who finds himself alone in his time of need, abandoned by the allies he has alienated. The surroundings are dark, with faint outlines of trees visible, emphasizing the solitary and subdued mood of the scene.

September 2026– Jacó Beach - Costa Rica 🇨🇷 Dark sand, heavy skies, waves rolling in, September’s Thursday feels like the world itself is trembling. Chaos looms, yet the ocean whispers resilience, reminding us that even in turmoil, calm endures…brighter skies will break through. #Photography

You’re standing on a beach with dark, volcanic sand stretching across the foreground. Gentle waves roll in, their white foam contrasting against the deep gray water. To the right, tall palm trees lean into the scene, their fronds reaching toward a heavy, cloud-filled sky. In the distance, two hilly landmasses rise from the ocean, partially covered in green vegetation. At their base, a few small buildings are tucked along the shoreline. The overall mood is dramatic and subdued, with the thick clouds casting a quiet, moody atmosphere over the landscape.

This view also captures a dark sandy beach, but here the focus is on the ocean itself. Waves ripple toward the shore under a cloudy, silver-gray sky. Two landmasses extend into the sea, framing the horizon. A few people are visible in the water, swimming or perhaps surfing, adding a sense of life to the otherwise tranquil scene. Palm fronds hang down from the upper right corner, like a natural frame for the view. The atmosphere feels calm yet powerful, with the interplay of dark sand, silvery water, and dramatic clouds creating a contemplative mood.
