A friend of Filipino heritage experienced a hate crime yesterday morning while sitting quietly in the #FontainebleauVegas food court. 1 of 5 people at a table 10 feet away flung a cup of ketchup that hit her shirt, and went all over the table & floor. Security is reviewing overhead camera footage.
His supporters laugh and cheer as he weaponizes Hate. It’s sometimes hard to recognize the America I thought I knew.
Aug. 31, 2019. We took my mom around the country for 10 days.
A Joro spider spinning a web under on a lamp post in the Meiji Jingu Shrine park in Tokyo last week. They are venomous but not considered lethal to humans.
You look just great, Stella. Ignore the Trump trolls and their bots. I posted my name and profile pictures on Twitter for years until I realized the “Right” are now comprised a bunch of professional victims. May they find peace one day.
I think I ran into his brother at Home Depot a year or two ago.
I visited my dentist this morning, who always keeps three full size 3D-printed Batmen on display (right wall.) But he really gets creative for Halloween.
Wow. Gorgeous sunflower. I hope all is well with you and your family. This is from my building’s “garden of hope,” established during the summer of 2020. The sunflowers grew 8-10 feet tall that year.
Staggering effort ongoing to keep Maxwell happy. He still wishes her well, I guess.Thanks to whoever made this.
Trumpstein” feels like the new Watergate. Only way worse.
A proud daughter of Arizona who tirelessly fights for democracy, as her Republican sister seeks to dismantle it by trading on her sister’s fame.
An 80-year-old cartoon someone posted on BlueSky recently. It never changes. And you know billions change hands to make it happen.
Disgusting evil. It’s tough to understand how any Republican voter can stomach this.
“Have mercy, Mr. President.” He has none. No decency. And now his demonic GOP toads want to make him the next pope.
Raintree & FLW outside the insidious Schweikert’s office. Hundreds in all directions.
North Scottsdale. Hundreds on the public sidewalks in each direction outside Rep. David Schweikert’s office. Countless cars honking their support.
Yet on your failing web site, your lead story is that Doug Emhoff criticized his law firm for making a deal with Krasnov. CNN was a beacon for my entire life. You are a sad joke now. All of the real journalists there should find better employment. Disgraceful. And utterly ridiculous.
My favorite sign at this morning’s Hands Off 2025 protest in Scottsdale AZ outside GOP hack David Schweikert’s office: “No Parking” transformed into “No king, any time.”
Justice Crawford has her work cut out for her. She will be working with several low-class, trashy MAGA haters like Injustice Rebecca Bradley.
Have you seen his tats? The 13-Star Betsy Ross flag from the shameful era of slavery may offer a clue.
Did you catch that in Iowa some moron legislator introduced a bill to make Covid vaccinations illegal? It’s clear the GOP and RFK Jr. don’t give a damn about people. Only profit and power.
