Pardon my French but fuck most of humanity and go cats.

A day without immigrants. Feb. 3, 2025. No school. No work. No shopping. Let’s raise our voices for our rights and our families. We are essential. We are strong. We are community.

🗣️ Pass it on.

Picture shows thousands of people on a street marching between high-rise buildings. Text reads, “ 50 states, 50 capitals, 50 marches. If you cannot get there, call out from work. If you can’t call out, wear something blue. Everyone needs to post individually about it. They can’t suppress everyone flooding the system with the same message. One voice.”

Picture of the Statue of Liberty. Text reads, “ 50 protests, 50 states, One Day. Starts at noon on February 5, 2025. Your state capital building. We the people reject Project 2025.”

American flag in the background with text over the top reading, “May we choose justice over retribution. May we seek equality over greed. May we speak in truth over what is false. Let us recognize. Love is stronger than hate. When we meet hate, let us find courage. we meet each other, let us find tolerance. 50 states, 50 protests, 1 day. On Feb. 5, 2025 we will be peacefully protesting at all of our 50 state capitals. We demand representation for: Freedom of speech Election integrity Racial equality Women’s rights LGBTQ+ Public health and safety Gun violence Climate change Wealth equality

Resistance takes hope AND action! Let’s go!

If you can’t get to your statehouse , get to your city hall or county government center !

If you can’t do that, spread the word and wear blue on 2/5. 💙

Cheers!

Glad you had fun! I went to my grandson’s baseball game instead, but I enjoyed all the pics and posts from everyone at FanFest.

Love your shirt!!! Where did you get it?

He just got his first hit after striking out twice, so that was exciting!

At my grandson’s very first Little League game! ⚾️❤️ Baseball’s back, baby!

I’m Shawn and I’m a Padres fan. I’ll also root for the Cubs in honor of my aunt Kim in Chicago (as long as doing so doesn’t conflict with my Padres fandom!). I’m obsessed with baseball and reading and I mix some fantasy sports in there as well.

Never forget that McConnell could have put an end to this bulls**t four years ago, including a penalty that would have prohibited Trump from ever holding public office again.

Padres are failing players, fans, and Peter's legacy with inaction under Seidler brothers - East Village Times The Padres were one win away from the NLCS last season. Now? The climb back towards to top feels longer than ever.

🗣️ Say it louder!!!

Dark days ahead, indeed.

Pin this, save it, we’ll need it.

“When a prison camp opens in your town…when a DREAMer is disappeared from your classroom…when the President destroys what’s left of the Constitution…They will all say they didn’t know this was coming. And I want the American people to know that they did.”

Shelves with various Padres bobbleheads, collectible pins, and artwork along with a Padres banner displaying the Padres logos throughout the history of the franchise.

Today’s project to display some of my Padres stuff that has been languishing in a Trader Joe’s bag in the corner of my bedroom. I love it!

THIS IS HUGE! Researchers at Stanford Medicine have devised an influenza vaccine that prompts immunity to ALL four major flu subtypes AND shows potential against bird flu, indicating a significant advancement in flu prevention and a potential increase in vaccine efficacy.

And now I need your favorites!

Outside of baseball, my only entertainment is reading. I don’t watch much TV, movies, etc…I much prefer books. That equates to a lot of reading!

A graphic titled “My Year in Books” showing 40,286 pages read and 110 books read.

A graphic showing past reading challenges. 118 of 110 books read in 2023. 115 of 120 books read in 2022. 125 of 125 books read in 2021. 140 of 80 books read in 2020. 111 of 50 books read in 2019.

Didn’t quite make my goal of reading 120 books this year, but still not too shabby. I don’t think I’ll ever get back to my pandemic year reading level!!! 📚#Reading #ReadingChallenge
