A huge crowd of people lines the street at night. A number of illuminated, translucent sculptures are parading down the street. This includes a bald eagle and several very large tulips, with a few fish suspended on strings in the background.

Originally from 28 April 2017: Olympia's Procession of the Species has both a luminary parade and a main event in daylight.
2026 will be 24 and 25 April.
Related creative endeavors start in March.

Bannon and the Broligarchs wanted to smash the administrative state and rebuild it in their own corrupt fascist imagine. Each department head was a wrecking ball.🧵

I got advertising featuring topless women the last time I logged into Facebook, so obviously your mileage may vary.

Staying on Facebook is the punishment I accept to slowly but surely sway my family members' political opinions, one meme at a time
But I will say I'm pretty delighted that the algorithm is feeding me so many parks' posts about last night's salamander migration, as if salamanders are the only news
In 1976, a number of railroads painted locomotives in Bicentennial colors to celebrate the 200th.
It should not be surprising the 250th would bring others.
And oh boy did Canadian National (with a number of lines in the USA) make an appeal to Republican sensibilities.

Six years ago today I launched Democracy Docket. At the time, I had no idea if anyone would visit the site or read its content. Today, it is a thriving news platform with a staff of 22 and more than 400,000 subscribers. Thank you to everyone who supports its work.
Happy Birthday DD!🎂

Four birds are floating on the water. Two of them have green heads, bright orange bills, white bodies, and dark grey patches on their backs. Two others have grey bodies, red heads, very light (almost white) neck fronts, and orange bills.
There are some that say redheads are special, and I would guess these male common mergansers (with green head) would agree with the sentiment regarding the redhead companion females.

Republicans got us into this mess.
They have the majority.
If they can’t support it with their own votes, there’s no reason @housedemocrats.bsky.social and @senatedemocrats.bsky.social should support it.
He demanded that she send him nude pictures and bullied her into a relationship. This is called sexual harassment. It was not “an affair”. RESIGN NOW.

Vulture capitalism, apparent Medicare fraud based on billing increases while patient roster remains the same, and chasing healthcare providers out of clinics to close them illustrates the numerous problems with our healthcare system.
If you’re in Canada or UK, be very wary of privatization moves.
FUCKERS

Women have always been at the heart of movements for justice, and that includes the more than 23 million immigrant women.
"This #WomensHistoryMonth, we celebrate the immigrant women who continue to better our country not just for themselves, but for all."

Watch your local elections.
The KKK proximate groups are trying to take over while your back is turned.
There has been a normalization of these Christian fascists. Americans now see these groups and brush it aside. That is dangerous. They are allowed to form orgs and behave as if what they are doing is normal. It isn’t. It’s fascism. It’s AMERICAN fascism. After all, the KKK were also “Christians”.
