Puvungna - Protecting Sacred Space

On a college campus, this 22 acres is what remains of a sacred space for at least 5 bands of the Tongva, Kizh, & Acjachemen Nations. #indigenouspeoplesday #california

*I’m Raymond & I share my photos & videos from my real travels to inspire empathy & connection

Cost of Trump's D.C. Occupation: $1.1M per day.

Cost to operate public housing for D.C.'s entire homeless population: $169,226 per day.

It's not about what this country can or can’t afford.

It’s about priorities.

Six years ago today, Mom passed.
Since, anytime I’ve needed a check-in from her a ladybug appears. Today, this little one landed on my shoulder and would not leave.

Thanks Mom for checking on me.
Just like in life, you always seem to know when I need that most.

Today’s hike was four years in the making for me. More coming to @raymondswhere on why, where, and how. For now, here’s some views!

If you like it, hang around :)

The 2022/2023 Southwest meltdown kicked it all off!

My phone is the only thing overheating at this peaceful protest! It’s a gathering with music, pro democracy speeches about belonging, quotes from founding fathers, and a beautiful mix of Americans who want people treated like people in our country!

My God, the heartlessness and cruelty to attack these programs… #mealsonwheels #seniors #disabled

HHS layoffs hit Meals on Wheels and other services for seniors and disabled Staff that administer programs to help the elderly, disabled people and poor families with basic needs lost their jobs amid the Trump administration's layoffs.

Thank you Senator @corybooker.com!

That’s the post…

Sen. Jim Banks told a laid off U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) employee who approached him that they “probably deserved it” and they “seem like a clown.” TikTok video by nbcnews

FIXED IT: Lil’ Jiminy Banks mouths off to a wrongfully terminated taxpayer from the safety and security of a departing elevator full of fellow jellyfish.

There’s more security in place to keep a Marvel script a secret.

Thank you #bluesky for allowing longer videos. I’ll start with an important series I’m doing covering the Japanese Internment Camp sites I’ve visited

No $h!t, Curtis.

Presented with evidence that innocent people who are not members of any gang were wrongly deported to a slave prison in El Salvador, Homan flatly insists that all of them were in fact gang members (but he's unwilling to detail any evidence showing it)

Dusting off my old Oxford English Dictionary and consulting carefully, I could not find "attack friends and submit to enemies" as a definition of the word "strength."

I cannot even fathom the restraint #Zelensky is displaying, having to sit this close to someone playing such politics with the future and lives of his entire country. To lead In combat zones as he has and then suffer this performative “show more gratitude” fealty test… #ukraine

The word salad. The posturing. The double speak. The “good tv” commentary. The blame game whose timeline contradicts deflections made by the Enfant Terrible In the same presser and recent days.

Just an FYI: Medicaid fraud is rarely perpetrated by beneficiaries. The fraudsters are almost always the doctors and CEO's that administer Medicaid. For example: when a doctor charges the government $600 for an $8 breast pump and pockets the cash and the third party administrator takes a cut.

‪The very unethical framework of this shows #Bezos doesn’t sincerely care one Prime membership about “personal liberty.”‬

Same tactics led to him firing 80% of Twitter. No lessons learned b/c he didn’t need or want X to run well. He wanted a megaphone and it helped his purchase of the sitting President. Much like the tactics at hand, we can be sure that the intention here is Musk serving himself and no one else.

Not even the first time

Charles Young is an important figure to honor, now more than ever. I originally made this video in 2023 after visiting his National Monument in 2022. I am honored to revisit his legacy for #blackhistorymonth and to combat the false narratives being propagated today. #nationalpark #veteran #nps #ohio

Too many people I know and things that I care about are being broken and discarded in this game. #doge

As a professor I can tell you this results in disaster on every front. Why? B/c the uninformed have no idea how to analyze and edit the AI’s inaccuracies and sometimes complete fabrications. It’s similar to Musk not knowing how to read the Social Security data. Don’t advocate for ignorance, please.
