Trying again, with proper spelling. #alphabetchallenge #weekUforup Under his eye… city hawk looking for breakfast

Is it just me or does this seem egotistical and childish? Read the room Elon.

Hadn’t been around the 16th st mall, downtown Denver in a while. Got a day pass on light rail. $2.70. Clean, security on train, checking tickets. Downtown , coming along, still empty spaces though.

Pritzker: If we don’t want to repeat history, then for god’s sake, in this moment, we better be strong enough to learn from it.

#AlphabetChallenge #WeekPforpatterns Saudi IMAX theater lobby. 2011. Movie was the History of Saudi Arabia. Was I supposed to be allowed in mostly empty theater, seemed awkward. Things have changed since then. Interesting time living in the Middle East during Arab Spring. I have stories.

And here we are,

If you're a billionaire, then you'll barely notice a few thousand dollars a year in higher prices at the store from these Trump tariffs - plus you can count on him to get you another big tax break for the wealthy. But for everyone else, this is a big deal, and a bad one.

As the economic news keeps coming out over the coming weeks keep one thing in mind: this is the fault of one man and didn’t need to happen.

Dreamy

US citizens; how smoothly is it going through passport control into #Canada and back to the states these days? Since US has made things more difficult is 🇨🇦 reciprocating? I love Canada! #travel

Worth reading. Does the average American realize all the safeguards the federal government provides? www.americanprogress.org/article/what...

The FTC’s other Dem commissioner, Rebecca Kelly Slaughter, has also been purged tonight: www.axios.com/2025/03/18/t...

Have the DOGE boys gotten around to cancelling a) a single weapons contract or b) a single Elon Musk contract?

I’m wondering what it will be like next time I fly to Canada to see family there. How times have changed. As a kid growing up near Niagara Falls, it could not have been simpler or more welcoming. I don’t blame 🇨🇦 one bit if they are a bit prickly at the border.

Pay attention

Wore a mask at the mall. It is the best deterrent for those pesky kiosk sellers offering lotion samples. 😉

As I have been saying.

NOMA, DC Walking, observing, no shopping.

I’ve also shared this with friends not on Bluesky. Important perspective!

It’s just a little thing, but Melania is being touted for “finally” bringing back White House tours. Um, my tour last year during the Biden Administration.

#AlphabetChallenge #weekiforinside #Ireland Old Irish Goats Mulranny, Ireland 2013 Yes, they lived inside this old house.

The Trump administration cites a survey that only 6% of federal employees are working full time in their offices. The number isn’t true. Why do administration and elected officials keep relying on it? @sengelberg.bsky.social ‬⁩ takes a closer look.

It does appear the goal is to privatize everything possible. Some jobs would come back. Changing from public service. Oversight gone? Who profits from this?

My goodness that sh*t eating grin of the WH economic representative as he talks about letting people go. Such nasty glee!

#Alphabetchallenge #weekHforhero I really struggled to find something for hero. But the minute I saw this, wow. Speaking up!

Oh crap, #COVID in the house. After years of near misses. I’m negative so far, the other side of the house isn’t so lucky. Movie time.

Why is Elon by Trumps side at each time he speaks? It’s as if Elon is afraid Trump will say something he has not approved. 😜

Emergency Video: will Congress do to itself what they are demanding of other departments? Cut congress’ budget and shrink THEIR staff now!
