Taking a moment to focus on the beauty of the world. I’ll have a new video from the #OregonCoast on my YouTube channel this Thursday at 4pm PST. #travel

Operation “Midnight Hammer” sounds like the sexiest way to start an illegal war.

This is the boldest thing NYT has printed in a while.

Things are playing out like some video game where the world is full of vibrant color until a malevolent force comes along and everything turns grayscale. Let’s call it whitescale in this case for obvious reasons.

Read this whole thread.

Criticism of policy is not antisemitism. Many Jewish people themselves who value peace and human rights oppose the genocide Israel is committing and the role of the U.S. Inflicting death and suffering on a wide population of innocent people for the actions of some evil leaders is unconscionable.

Hell yes! Nerds, rejoice!

Why are so many Americans so against people just being who they are? Land of the free? BS!

In the spring of 2008, I feared America was on the verge of war with Iran — and, believing that it’s good style to get to know people before you bomb them, I made “Rick Steves’ Iran,” a one-hour special that could (and would) only debut on PBS. Sadly, this special has become pertinent again today.

Iran: Weeks away from having nuclear weapons since 1995

Yet another elected Democratic official violently arrested and detained by Trump’s ICE Gestapo. This isn’t frog in boiling water. This fascism is happening quickly, clearly, brazenly.

When I die, put me in one of these as my coffin and play the Imperial March. I want the afterlife to know what they're getting.

Just in time to see climate change.

I really hope so.

Nobody is rioting. Nobody is breaking any laws. These are cops in my city of Las Vegas just assaulting and arresting anyone on Fremont Street who looks at them. This is fascism.

This is what it will take to defeat fascism, people in positions of power and as many citizens as possible to follow their conscience and the Constitution in defiance of the illegal and unethical, consequences be damned.

Meanwhile…

I’m not used to feeling happy, and it’s all of these people’s fault for taking me out of my comfort zone. 🚫👑

Projecting strength and competence to the world!

I may not be able to top this one no matter how much I cruise the feeds. I'm actually a bit choked up at this.

We're capturing children off the street at gunpoint to get one last ride of garish nostalgia for an America that never was. A future dramatically better is available at the end of this, and the choice will be stark for anyone with a brain, but we've gotta be loud and uncompromising in the meantime.

My favorite chant from today’s #NoKings protest in Gresham, Oregon: “Say it loud! Say it clear! Immigrants are welcome here!” 🌎🇺🇸

America 2025.

#NoKings has gone worldwide. Let’s do this!

FBI Warns Second California Senator Still At Large theonion.com/fbi-war...

Headline writers ache for death right now

Just liberating L.A. from the Constitution and the will of its people.

There's been a decision somewhere high up in both political parties that today's male voters don't see being a sexual harasser/assaulter/flat-out rapist as a deal-breaker, and they are now acting accordingly

The part of me that still has some hope for this country believes people, seeing the video of Senator Padilla being assaulted, plus brown communities being terrorized in LA, will be too much for the majority. But, then again, this is America, so...

OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! There’s still hope for this world!

The cruelty in today's politics feels horribly corrosive. Bringing up that hard-working immigrant families — undocumented, yes, but not violent criminals — are being ripped apart based on immigration status doesn't bring compassion or even pause, but gleeful cheers.
