Forlorn winter scenes from the long defunct Lake Shawnee Amusement Park deep in the center of West Virginia. I took these on my old Nikon D300, long before I had any idea of what I was doing (circa 2019). #abandoned #urbex #EastCoastKin #photography #BlueSkyPhotographers #WestVirginia

Darth Vader being “gracious” and “not fake.” Everything we’ve ever not liked about him is absent in this scene.

Happy Record Store Day, everybody. Make sure to shop local.

I just want to tip my hat to the crack team of White House economists who were able to discover--in just a few short days--that the U.S. is dependent on China for smartphones, computers and semiconductors.

Seems like a waste of taxpayer money

Your assignment this week is to read a book that some “Mom for Liberty” would bring to a school board meeting and cry about.

I have a new favorite Reddit post.

The United States Supreme Court, as packed by the Federalist Society, as supported by the Randy Barretts and Ilya Shapiros and Jonathan Turleys of America, is suited to squabble over what “facilitate” means but not to achieve justice or protect or defend the United States Constitution.

This right here 🔥 “If there was market manipulation, it is a crime. Someone needs to go to jail… I want the documents. I want the Signal chats too, because I don’t trust them — that they weren’t sharing all this information across their Signal chats.” – @repstevenhorsford.bsky.social

Perioidic reminder that the reason you didn't see autistic people with intellectual disabilities on the street five decades ago was not because they didn't exist. It's because they were sent away to institutions and their parents were told to put away pictures of them.

After months of striking, some therapists with Kaiser Permanente stopped eating for five days to bring attention to their union's demands for parity with how the company's other workers are treated.

“BRING HIM HOME” 🔥

Mirroring Russia's 2022 invasion strategy of Ukraine, the US Trump regime will deploy troops along the Panama Canal for what it claims is "training, exercises and "other activities"" after months of threatening invasion. Panamanians say the US of launching a “camouflaged invasion”. #panamainvasion

Search in other languages for different results. #Genealogy #ancestry #genealogist

Not only do you let corporations track your location and every move through social media, give them your fingerprints through your phone, and give them your DNA through genealogy sites, but now you give them a detailed scan of your likeness for a fucking cartoon? Has Orwell taught you nothing!?

Rising number of UK women stopped and searched by police

A witch hunt is underway. We’ve faced many before. Take a breath. Stay grounded.

The world is lookin’ bleak. So I’m sharing some tits and boobies as a mood booster. 🪶

BREAKING: 36k people showed up in LA for Bernie and AOC’s rally. In the off year. Americans are pissed — and anyone ignoring that is making a big mistake.

so we can all become serfs to the technocracy

Ben Franklin spoke French, printed in German, and knew that language was power. He believed democracy required understanding—not just governance. He didn't build walls with words; he built bridges.

3 days ago RFK Jr. told the CDC to stop recommending water fluoridation, claiming it was a neurotoxin (this is a lie). Turns out he also just eliminated the CDC’s entire Lead Program, and now lead poisoned children in Milwaukee are just on their own. Lead IS a neurotoxin and harms brain development

isn’t that their job

NEW: It’s 5 p.m. ET, and DOJ is officially late on its first daily court-mandated report on the status of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. But! Abrego Garcia's attorneys have just asked Judge Xinis to order the govt to take these specific steps to return him: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

My law firm is currently litigating 49 voting and election cases in 21 states. States with the most cases: AZ, GA, NC, NV, FL, LA, PA. I expect new cases will be filed this week.

I love #TomoeRiver paper and #fountainpens. on my list tomorrow (today/sunday/whatever day it is after i sleep) is to write both my senators to convince their counterparts in the house to #impeach #donaldtrump for #humantrafficking. If KAG is truly in the control of El Salvador, he was sold.

The same Christians who shunned me for reminding them that Jesus wasn't white, American, or Christian—have become hateful white nationalists in the name of that Jesus. It has been tragic but illuminating. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/i-was-a-pa...
