Then further under…then…umm…I’ll see myself out.😬

A rude awakening for the American people.

If they are paying attention.

For a start, stop watching Fox News; they are complicit in Trump's coup in progress. They are anti-constitution and anti-American.

We are entering the “falling out of windows” phase.

I really don't care what anyone thinks about me.
Except dogs. I want dogs to like me.

Me too…and they do. But they adore my wife, and so do babies. I think i may have chosen well.🙂

And miller should not be allowed to eat anything else for the rest of his miserable life.

Congress should be force fed the same food as the folks in Concentration Camp Dilley, until this shit is stopped.

On Nov. 16, a mental health counselor recorded in Kamilla’s medical records that her mother reported the girl had lost her appetite after being “served food that contained worms.” A week later, the couple said, children were told to gather in the gym for what they believed would be a Thanksgiving celebration. Excitement spread as families saw tables set with turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, they said. The children waited expectantly. But when a parent asked when the celebration would begin, Oksana said, staff told them the holiday meal was for employees, not detainees. The children, she said, watched despondently as the feast was packed away.

On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast.

The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me.

But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.

I eagerly await te day when steven miller is offered a blindfold and a cigarette.

'There among the brass bells and buttons
And iron lever frames
The hand lamps and the smoking stove
And the passing diesel trains
Signalman White keeps a watchful eye'

It’s so unusual, as photographed by Billy Williams and directed by English madman Ken Russel, that even today you’ve probably never seen anything quite like it. Whatever one can say about Russel, his pictures were never boring.

A forgotten movie now. And the best adaptation of D.H. Lawrence ever put to screen by English wildman Ken Russel. Loved this one for years and rewatched recently. Still holds up.

Yeah, this is where we're at in the US at the moment. Praise Jah for Eric Blair. 🧪 #USA#Trump

You have no idea. I have to sing and make music and art so I don’t live each day filled beginning to end with rage. Every fucking day a new obscenity. Occasionally have to disengage just to preserve my mental health.

This made me ugly cry 😭

I will never claim that he was perfect…every president in my lifetime has pissed me off for one reason or another.
But…dammit, I’m so tired of the constant feeling of uneasiness and uncertainty 😔

More like wanting a guilty pleasure. The “ugh“ comes 8-12 hours later. 😂

Very fond of this Mr Hyde by Grickle, look at that lovely Mr Hyde face

🚨BREAKING: Puerto Rico has been part of the United States since 1898, and people still act confused that Puerto Ricans are American.

States that joined after Puerto Rico:
• Oklahoma — 1907
• New Mexico — 1912
• Arizona — 1912
• Alaska — 1959
• Hawaii — 1959

Yet somehow this is still news to folks.

Well to be fair almost no one knows much of the southwest was actually a part of Mexico either. When I explain this to people they’re in disbelief.

And has a “song” like a broken car horn “map map map map”. 😂. That aside, they're adorable. Lucky enough to have one who lives in my backyard.

Every once in a while we all do, then just about the time the deal is to be finalized, it implodes like a soap bubble.
