The greatest threat to Donald Trump’s authoritarian dream is not the courts — it is free and fair elections. While the courts can stand in the way of his twisted vision for America, they can never completely halt it. Trump knows this. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/trum...

A lesson in right vs wrong: Using government power to target political enemies is wrong. Standing up for those who are targeted is right. Bowing down is wrong. Refusing to be deterred and stating tall is right. Silence is wrong. Peaceful opposition is right. www.cnn.com/2025/03/30/p...

Happy weekend everyone! Here are some more photos of the Barred Owl family from 2023 in my VA neighborhood. There were a total of three owlets that year so I went out several times to photograph them. I threw in a picture of one of the parents that I rather like. #birds #owls

#BookWormSat “Sometimes the desire to be lost again, as long ago, comes over me like a vapor. With growth into adulthood, responsibilities claimed me... Now in the spring I kneel, I put my face into the packets of violets, the dampness, the freshness, the sense of ever-ness.” ― Mary Oliver

I’m taking a break from politics today. It’s not that I think world events don’t matter. I just need to think about flowers and bunnies and art for a while.🪻🐇🎻

Every time I talk in a big city, I have so many folks come up and tell me about their roots in the heartland or rural spaces. Do you know why there are so many folks in the city from red, rural states? A brain drain. They left and never came back.

Kristi Noem racked up over $150K in state expenses for personal and political perks. While she hides behind security claims, it's clear she’s abusing state funds to boost her profile. Her approach to spending state funds screams entitlement and the secrecy surrounding it fuels further questions.

Wait…they have authority over what? So, from his perspective, the executive branch has authority over Congress and Congress has authority over the Judiciary. So that would make it a hierarchy, not co-equal branches. Wow. What a radical perspective.

Today's message to my MAGAt Congressman: Secretary Lutnick stated his mother-in-law wouldn’t mind if she missed her social security check and that anyone who complained would be a fraudster. Therefore, I suggest we terminate all Congressional salary and evaluate the reaction.
