Oh that's right, I forgot. Man, I'd like to hang out again with you and the gang but times have been challenging lately.

Aw! I miss you too. Also wish we lived near you guys in Minnesota, even if it gets a million degrees below zero there.

How awful. I really feel for them.

I keep having to trim the feathers on Ms. Floof's face so she can see a little better. All the chickys are running around off in the distance and she's standing around trying to figure out where they went!

these are the floof chickens, two Polish (the black chicky with the huge head floof is named Miss Floof) and then two little Swiss chickens which are Appenzeller Spitzhauben and they have a little Swiss hat floof on their heads.

this is Jake, she is a Speckled Sussex and whenever I come out she comes bustling over, chatting like a busybody chicken. Then she follows me around the yard.

Top Hat (she's a Polish chicken with a little floof on her head) is peekabooing from behind a hay bale

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office.

Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc.

Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Confederate dude: Confederate monuments are part of my heritage. Smart Union fellow: Destroying the confederacy is part of my heritage.

How in the hell does that goofball even have a writing job? I have a bunch of wicked smart friends who have sense and can write their way out of a paper bag. Why don't they give one of my friends this job? Jeeeee-sus Ch-r-ist.

Here’s an excellent old school video on how to establish a relationship with your elected officials & lobby them more effectively.* In my four decades in Washington, this is the best “how to” lobbying video I’ve ever seen. I’ve used it to train activists across the country.

It has been a loooonng time since I've read The Frogs, looks like it's about time I revisit it! Thanks for the lead.
