DOGE is not really gone, it’s just been made standard operating procedure now. Please stop celebrating DOGE ‘ending’ as a ‘win.’ It’s not. Their cuts have already killed 600,000 people. Elon stole all your data. Don’t fall for the clickbait.

Expedited FOIA on the Epstein files? Yeah, there’s a reason certain folks are sweating through their spray tan in hiding tonight.

A serene ocean scene at sunset, with gentle waves rolling toward the shore. The sky is filled with dramatic clouds in shades of purple, pink, and blue, and warm golden light from the setting sun glows near the horizon, reflecting softly on the water.

A golden sunset illuminates a wide sandy beach as gentle waves roll in. A small dog runs joyfully at the water’s edge, its reflection visible in the wet sand. In the distance, two large rocky sea stacks rise from the ocean beneath a sky filled with soft, glowing clouds.

The Joy of Winter Sun at The Beach

Waves whisper secrets,
the sun paints gold on everything,
and a dog - unbothered by the world -
rushes headlong into the moment.

A bright sunset casts warm, golden rays across a quiet outdoor landscape. Silhouetted trees frame the scene, with a large tree on the left and smaller trees in the distance. Soft, scattered clouds glow pale pink in the late afternoon light against a blue sky, creating a peaceful, serene atmosphere.

Blue With a Hint of Pink… Low Winter Sun

Happy #BlueSkyMonday! 💙 Wishing you a great week ahead 💖

A wide, vibrant sunset sky filled with streaks of pink, orange, purple, and blue clouds, spreading outward like soft brushstrokes above a dark tree-line silhouette and a shadowed open field.

Sen. Mark Kelly is everything Pete Hegseth can never be.

From November 27 through December 1, we're fighting back against corporations like Target, Home Depot, and Amazon and putting our money into businesses that actually care about our communities.

A total solar eclipse, with a clear diamond ring effect as totality comes to an end. The light from the eclipse is shining on a gap in the clouds creating a surreal scene

The #glow of the diamond ring effect and corona from this total solar #Eclipse illuminates the clouds, drawing gasps from the waiting crowds (Australia 2012)

Sun shines through tall trees onto the ground and stream below

You’re correct, it’s a photo of mine that I put thru a “paint” filter as I felt it suited the scene. Here’s the original…

Green tinged long stalactites hang from the ceiling inside a well lit cave

Comey: "I'm grateful the court ended the case against me, which was a prosecution based on malevolence & incompetence... I was inspired by the career people who refused to be part of this travesty. It cost some of them their jobs, but it preserved their integrity, which is beyond price"

Pete Hegseth must be immediately called before both Houses of Congress and be told to his face in front of the nation and the world, that if he gives illegal or Unconstitutional orders, he will face prison for the rest of his natural life.

In the end, it didn’t cut government spending, and there was no promised “savings.” In the end, DOGE destroyed countless lives, ravaged American soft power, killed hundreds of thousands of people around the world (soon millions), & stole your data.

Elon Musk should be on trial.

DOGE was always a very thinly disguised con to dress up data theft and extraction class destruction of federal corporate oversight as innovative, and it's important to remember that part of the reason it worked so well is that the press helped legitimize it

Robert Reich The DOGE Damage Elon is Leaving Behind

The "Department of Government Efficiency" has disbanded eight months early.

DOGE sowed chaos throughout the government and disrupted services relied upon by millions, while finding hardly any savings.

Here's what you should know about damage that DOGE leaves behind.

the DOGE mission was fully accomplished

a) destroy public service infrastructure

b) steal everybody’s sensitive private information

c) give Elon Musk a chance to act important

Broke: DOGE is dead

Woke: DOGE was specifically constructed in a way to avoid accountability partially by zombifying the USDS which still exists as an entity

Bespoke: Dead or not, there needs to be a blue ribbon committee and a massive internal cybersecurity review to root out all the damage.

Foggy morning. Dark conifers with a few yellow deciduous trees mixed in, 3 trees elevated above the rest in the fog, tree tops exposed, layers of white-gray-blue clouds and sky above.

One from yesterday morning. The minimalist in me loves this one. 🍃💛🍃

Foggy morning. Deciduous trees with some yellow leaves and conifers with fog lifting between them, dark gray hills behind, and gray clouds above.

Another foggy morning in Portland Oregon. 🍁💛🍂
