One of the most incredible dive sites in the world, the Silfra Fissure in Þingvellir National Park, Iceland. Located between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates, the water gets filtered through the volcanic rock for 80 years. #BlueSkyMonday #diving #photography #travel #iceland

You have to see this. PoliticsGirl and her husband teamed up with the brilliant Timothy Snyder (author of On Tyranny) and the legendary John Lithgow to create something truly powerful. It’s important, it’s urgent—and it needs to be shared far and wide.

His cartoon work spans various subjects ranging from local issues based in Asheville to more national political events and even to one-off, word-play-oriented jokes. ❤️ Give credit to artists when you can.

Here's how they report on him in the UK, where their free press has a spine.

Michelle Obama will be skipping Trump’s inauguration. And before anyone says a negative word, let’s not forget—Trump skipped Biden’s inauguration. From the Office of Barack and Michelle Obama: Barack Obama is confirmed to attend the 60th Inaugural Ceremonies. Michelle Obama will not attend.

It's an old song. But I think it has a vibe for today's stress. youtu.be/gp5JCrSXkJY?...

It also makes it harder for them to ban books.
