If you are letting Rachel Maddow's staff go, you are doing it wrong.

Some of my earliest memories are from hearing the train whistle at night from the Engine traveling the Milwaukee line through Maple Valley, WA. Comforting ambiance from a bygone era, sorely missed by the few that remember...

44% approval means that 88% of Republicans approve of this guy, just sayin...

Just saw post prefaced with, "I'm probably pissing in the wind," and it just occurred to me that this is a more risky proposition for some...

My putting the Media on pause update: More convinced then ever this is the right thing for me. I can't get over the fact that American media rolled over backwards to sugar coat the threat a 2nd Trump administration posed. This is the only power I truly have for a course correction.

This really got to me! #TruthToMAGA www.youtube.com/watch?v=trVC...

I was curious, so I asked ChatGPT about the Psychology of Collapse. Interesting answer causing me to think, "Yup, that's MAGA". It seems all of American is about to go through some things.

Saw a great post that 2025 is like being awake during surgery... causing me to wonder if there is any downside for all those smuggies that sat out the election. Just sayin...

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is cancelled -AND- the price of eggs is WAY up since December. Looks like the ruling party got to have their cake (a nod to predatory lenders) and eat it too (tying Biden to something the other guy has no desire to fix).

Pretty much fed up with my old haunts here on Bluesky. If there were a way to filter Trump and MAGA I would. My lists for #Art and #Photography will have to do and I advise anybody nodding their head in agreement to do the same.

What do Hillary's emails or the price of eggs have to do with how well you are doing in life? Nothing really, except for whatever was going on in James Comey's little brain or some media mogul's click bait strategy to turn a profit. If you don't know that, your eyes are off the ball.

Pretty sad we are poised to take this plunge off the cliff. You voted for it, America! p.s. especially if you didn't!

Michelle can do what she wants. She earned it!

If you see this, post a photo you made at sunset.

Unsurprisingly, Republicans follow their orange god's lead and lie about life-and-death conditions in ways that will increase death and destruction. They won the election, have nothing to lose, and yet they're still lying. It's all they are. They have no idea how to govern.

As Jan. 20th approaches I have come to accept our fate. It wasn't an easy path; I take solace that I did all I could personally do for eight years to keep us from plunging off this cliff. We all did, (or at least most). 1 of 2

My son noticed a van painted up offering raw milk to the public and my thoughts immediately went to POTUS Elect and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. That can't be good, right?

My take on today's news? It's already a dumpster fire and the new administration hasn't even started yet.

Pretty fed up with how every sixth picture on my timeline features either POTUS Elect or Zuckerberg. Please, people!

On January 20th I hope all I hear is acknowledged disbelief this man we elected President is out on bail.

The more you know...

Apryl #8. This one started in a weekly group life drawing session, but then got put aside due to other commitments. Finally had a chance to totally rework it over the past couple of days. Charcoal and pastel on toned paper.

So new strategy with this President Elect polluting my timeline thing... Just scroll past it; if people want to pollute their own timelines with mugs of this threat to humanity let them. Moving on!

egads, I'm seeing a ton of posts featuring POTUS elect! Can't be good, whatever it is.

Tired of all those *close but no cigar* moments when wrapping gifts for the season? I found just the thing!

One of my favorite black and whites I captured in the Canadian Rockies. Can’t wait to get back here! #photography #nature #naturephotography #landscapephotography #blackandwhite dansproul.com/featured/mou...

Keep getting "Breaking News" alerts on my workstation. Nope, not going there! Not even curious... #PostElectionSurvivalSkills
