We passed thru the #LakeTahoe area on one of our recent truck camper adventures and wanted to give a shout out to all the folks who are doing the work to #KeepTahoeBlue at keeptahoeblue.org

Grateful on this Thanksgiving Day that we have real American heroes like Senator Mark Kelly to defend our democracy against incompetent drunkards and dotards like Whiskey Pete and Dementia Don

I love how Mamdani takes care to protect his private parts from the orange Bubba groper

The Republican old guard has already been toppled by the MAGAts. The billionaire class has been trying for years to prevent the Democrat old guard from being toppled by Bernie, AOC, Mamdani, and other progressives.

The Aravaipa Creek Wilderness in AZ. Another reason why we need to keep public lands in public hands: just on the doorstep of a major mining project, yet haven to bighorns, coatimundi, mountain lions, javelina, bear, deer, bobcats, exotic birds, etc. Truly deserving to be called big & beautiful.

Florida Man strikes again. Just another example of a Republican program designed to siphon off public education tax dollars, which in turn leads to the kind of waste, fraud, and abuse that Repugs love. I'm sure a donation to Trump will earn this guy a pardon.

Recent pics from visiting friends in Durango CO. Parts of Robert Redford's "Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid" were filmed here. Also, this used to be Lauren Boebert's district until she carpetbaggered her way to an even redder district a few years ago.

We canceled yesterday too. Gonna miss Only Murders In The Building, but it's a small sacrifice for a larger cause.

I'm sure the Magats will be impressed because 66 is so much more bigly than .00001

Visiting the White Mountains of AZ in our truck camper. We are so fortunate to have public lands like these for all of us to enjoy, and so we must be ever vigilant to keep Trump from selling these treasures off to whoever puts the biggest bribe in his pocket. Also, #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles.

Enjoying a paddle down the Salt River, a riparian oasis in the desert just outside Phx. Meanwhile, down the road in Tucson, Amazon wants to build a data center that would use 6% of their supply of reclaimed water, which could potentially dry up what remains of the Santa Cruz River riparian area.
