#Democracy250 In 2026--take our country back from the bigots, racists, And religious extremists--and send MAGA packing.

Our stock market is crashing. Our economy is contracting. Our government is dismantling. Our allies are fleeing. Our grocery prices are rising. But at least we now call it "The Gulf of America." So it all evens out.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is not a dictator. He is a champion of democracy, freedom and truth.

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

Experimenting with puff pastry for breakfast. A twist on eggs in a basket before the cost of eggs really skyrockets. #eggs #breakfast

In case anyone is interested in the actual science, instead of the bloviating bullhockey of MAGA simpletons or their dictator.

Awww, Dad! We wants treatses!

Sunny day hike at Spruce Railroad Trail, Lake Crescent, WA.

Trump is the personification of a second civil war. The peaceful transition of power is a joke. It pretends that Trump is not an agent of bigotry, hatred, vengeance, and chaos. Turning the government over to Trump is tantamount to sacrificing half the country to terror, plunder, violence, and rape.

"For Americans, the merging of pseudo-spirituality with politics represents a departure from some of our deepest principles: that logic and reason lead to good government...and that the political order inheres in rules & laws & processes, not mystical charisma." www.theatlantic.com/magazine/arc...

“Thousands of rioters crossed the National Mall and climbed the Capitol walls, smashing windows and kicking down doors. Just blocks away, a bomb was found near the location of the incoming vice president, threatening her life. Law enforcement officials were beaten, dragged, …” wapo.st/3W6jx4W

We must not allow ourselves to forget what transpired 4 years ago today!

4 years ago today, right-wing extremist thugs attacked our nation’s capitol building. They broke in, burned our flag and tried to kill our Vice President. Never forget, never again.

His Highness is holding court. #blacklabs #puppylove

Getting the band back together. #labradorretrievers #blacklabs #chocolatelabs

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget

The pups sure love getting out for run around the yard #Labradors #blacklabs #Chocolatelabs

Beautiful day for a hike. @portangeles.bsky.social

Does this tree make me look fat?!

Beautiful sunset this evening in Agnew. @portangeles.bsky.social

Back on one of my favorite #PortAngeles hikes, along the Elwha River south of Madison Falls.

A beautiful lull in the bomb cyclone on the Olympic Peninsula this afternoon. I hear we're expecting more through the weekend.
