I live in the woods as do my neighbors and our entire neighborhood is an eastern box turtle sanctuary. I think I’ll take some more pictures the next time they appear in the yard. They always come out when it rains. 😋

We know now more than ever how important Supreme Court appointments are. We need control of Congress! (Alito will likely be leaving soon.) Thank you, Monica for introducing these amazing resisters.😋

Yes, Pete Hegseth is so incompetent that our troops go without necessary medical care, but at least they are called "warriors" now while they go untreated. So it all evens out . . .

So the guy who said that he managed to destroy Iran’s nuclear program insists that it’s actually in existence and that he wants them to use it against an American city (San Diego) which is home to a USMC training camp and two Navy bases one being the Top Gun academy?

Note to Democrats: Congress has significant power to alter the structure, rules and jurisdiction of the Supreme Court through federal legislation or constitutional amendments. They can change the size of the Supreme Court by passing an ordinary law, impose term limits and even impeach justices.

Even though all 50 states mandate vaccines for measles, etc, exemptions are allowed. In August, 2026, an executive order directed the Department of Justice to challenge states that restrict religious and medical exemptions.

I will not be silent because it makes people feel comfortable. Everyone must hear the truth. Our history is deplorable. We live on stolen land and our ancestors owned human beings. If that's not enough, we have an entire political party that believe that our country was better then #USDemocracy
