Another cloudy start to the day: Tuesday 7 October, from Wainui Beach, Aotearoa / New Zealand.

Ata mārie / Good Morning ☀️.

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson:

"Private establishments can partner with us to make it clear that private property is private property and ICE cannot enter establishments without a valid warrant ... If Congress will not check this administration, then Chicago will."

“No one man can terrorize a whole nation, unless we are all his accomplices.” -Edward R. Murrow

California is the manufacturing capital of America, period.

We create more jobs, produce more goods, and drive more innovation than anywhere else in the country — because what gets built in California shapes the future and powers the U.S. economy.

THE CHICKENS ARE FINALLY COMING HOME TO ROOST

Ryan Walters is out & the investigation floodgates just opened. The Oklahoma AG launched a full audit of Walters’ entire tenure as Superintendent, and it’s about damn time.

Also the education dept website’s being scrubbed of his culture-war nonsense.

Kristi Noem puts the pee in GOP

❗️REPOST if you stand with President 🇺🇦Zelensky!

Tax the rich .. assets not workers. So-called 'aliens' are NOT the problem.. greed and corruption (individual and corporate) ARE.. obvious to intelligent humans

Keeping Up Appearances actor Patricia Routledge dies aged 96 The actor was best known for her role as the pretentious housewife Hyacinth Bucket, and for the series Hetty Wainthropp Investigates

Guess you could say she kicked the bouquet

(But seriously, vale; when I was a teenager, she was a favourite of my drama class and left a major influence)

And leave STACKS of bills

Time for the Saturday #BlueSkyArtShow theme of #Relax.

Abughazaleh: I think Kristi Noem should be tried at The Hague. And if the response from ICE to people exercising their first amendment right is to drive vehicles through them, they should not be an agency in the US.

Please enjoy the bird hour at the wetlands behind me. It was delightful

Sen. @ossoff.senate.gov on rural hospital closures: “We’re the wealthiest country in the world. Every community—rural, suburban, urban, Black, white, rich, poor—deserves world-class healthcare. That’s the bare minimum.”

No one voted for an unaccountable billionaire to allow the DOGE kids to mismanage our private data.
