A beautiful tree whose colors have turned a brilliant deep and bright red, in front of a row of orange and yellow trees with a field of green between them and the moon still visible in the early morning sky.

Happy Fall! Just a little something to make you smile. "Fall is in the Air."

What to know about the international flotilla seeking to break Israel's blockade of Gaza Spain and Italy have said they are sending navy ships to where a flotilla of dozens of boats carrying activists seeking to break Israel’s blockade of Gaza is sailing.

Good information on the International Flotilla happening now.

Yes they do! The ability to use discourse so effectively is fabulous! Best description of that POS and the state we’re currently in! Ever.

Ok — so this is positively unacceptable. But what I don’t get is the need for the people avidly filming instead of stopping this POS from hurting this poor woman. WTF?

Because this administration thinks everyone believes the rules only matter when it helps “your side” (like they do), they are counting on Comey’s unpopularity to normalize this.

Don’t let it. Whatever you think of him or his actions in the past, etc. this indictment is dangerous and an outrage.

Since Lindsey Halligan personally indicted Comey she should personally try the case and not hand it off to someone else. She can show us how competent and qualified she is for this job in front of a jury.

If a government tells you that you can’t call it authoritarian, it’s authoritarian.

It’s not “His administration “ — he and they can’t administer their way out of a paper bag. It IS “His régime…” however —banana republic be him.

If people who know their history keep comparing you to Nazis, the fault is not with the people making the comparisons.

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

This original watercolor of a seal pup so captured the heart of a young girl that her dad just had to buy it for her. So happy “Pup of the Sea” has gone to a loving home. I’ll miss you little one! 🙂

FIFA tests new human rights strategy for World Cup games, and advocates are skeptical With the 2026 games less than a year away, FIFA's commitment to upholding human rights is still under scrutiny.

Human rights scandals have marred World Cup tournaments for years, but FIFA is testing a new protocol requiring all host committees to develop action plans to protect human rights for the 2026 games in North America.

FB post by George Kruse, Manatee County Commissioner 

Thursday, August 21, the Manatee County BOCC will vote to restore your wetland buffers and remove Policy 2.1.2.8 to protect our rural development boundary.

A reminder about what we’re fighting and why I believe we have every right to do so in spite of SB180:

https://share.newsbreak.com/egmd3r45?s=i16

It's probably worth keeping an eye on this Florida politics story. Manatee County is going headlong into a potential fight with Ron DeSantis over local home rule and wetlands buffer provisions that voters explicitly elected them to change.

She was the last: Penguin starvation crisis sparks call for emergency fishing ban The fate of the hoiho - among the world’s rarest penguin species - rests with two ministers.

Pulled lifeless from a commercial fishing net off the Otago coast, the adult female yellow-eyed penguin had drowned in a silent, unseen death.

She was the last known breeding-age female Hoiho from the Sandfly Bay colony.
