I’m not too young to remember when Trump was last elected how he shut down all of our government agencies websites and they had to make up their own on twitter. I wonder if that’s going to happen on day one of his dictatorship?

Bradshaw on the Family by John Bradshaw. I realized I was not a crazy person after reading this book. It still is the most impactful book on family that I have read. I read it for the first time about 30 years ago. #booksky

Definitely worth the time to watch. Such an interesting little documentary. Very inspiring.

Was a huge relief to see that the reef at Norfolk Island was doing better. A lot of the problematic algae was gone and plenty of signs of recovering corals. This sort of thing gives me hope we can turn things around!

I’m with you!! Musk is as dangerous Trump. The 2 of them together is horrible for the middle class.

I just don’t understand how people keep voting against their best interests. Biden did help the middle class and kept our economy from going into a recession after Covid. He also saved so many lives the way he came in and handled the Covid crisis and we get rewarded with trump again. I’m confused.

Trump pardoned Charles Kushner and made him Ambassador to France. He was convicted of financial crimes & witness tampering. In retaliation for his brother-in-law's cooperation with prosecutors, Kushner paid a prostitute to seduce the BIL, filmed the sexual encounter and sent a copy to his sister.

Might it have been a better use of airtime if the corporate media, rather than spending countless segments on Hunter Biden's pardon, devoted that time to explaining why Russian propagandist and lifetime cultist Tulsi Gabbard is a wildly dangerous selection as National Security Advisor?

When Anthony Fauci is named an enemy and RFK Jr a savior, you know there's something seriously sick in America.

I am thrilled!! If he hadn’t I would have been so disappointed. Why do Democrats always have to take the high road while Republicans run roughshod over our democracy. Hunter would have never been indicted if he wasn’t the president’s son.

I am so happy that President Biden pardoned Hunter. It was the right thing to do for his son. He couldn’t have lived with himself having to visit his son in prison. It was a political prosecution in the first place.

With so many dinner tables having cornbread stuffing today, how about a Praying mantis camouflaged in some corn. 🌱 #ThrowbackThursday #Invertebrates 🌿

Painting of a distressed and parched man with a caption that says “ The houseplants in your kitchen watching you put water in the coffee maker” humorously implying the plants are desperate for water.
