July 2026– Jacó Beach - Costa Rica 🇨🇷 A seemingly infinite horizon breathes light into the waiting future; waves whisper renewal as life unfurls its promise. An umbrella stands like a beacon of hope, a vow that beginnings never truly end. If not today, tomorrow is a second chance. #Photography

The photo captures a tranquil beach scene in vivid detail. In the foreground, two lounge chairs sit side by side beneath a wide orange umbrella, angled toward the ocean as if inviting rest. A tall palm tree leans slightly from the right edge, its fronds reaching toward the water. The sand stretches across the frame, pale and smooth, with a few scattered coconuts and bits of driftwood.

The shoreline curves gently, where waves roll in with white foam, breaking softly against the sand. To the left, a lone figure stands near the water’s edge, gazing out at the horizon. Beyond the surf, two small green peninsulas extend into the sea, their forested slopes contrasting against the deep blue of the ocean. Above, the sky is clear and bright, dotted with a few scattered clouds, giving the entire scene a sense of openness and calm.

The composition balances human presence with natural beauty, the umbrella and chairs symbolize comfort and hope, while the endless horizon and bookend peninsulas evoke continuity and renewal.

July 2026– Costa Rica 🇨🇷 No words tonight. Good night. #Photography

This image captures a tranquil coastal landscape at sunset. The horizon glows with deep orange and yellow tones as the sun dips behind distant mountains or islands, leaving them in dark silhouette. Above, the sky is layered with clouds in shades of gray, blue, and orange, creating a dramatic contrast between light and shadow. The calm ocean mirrors the warm colors of the sky, while gentle waves roll onto the sandy shoreline in the foreground. The overall mood is serene, with a striking interplay of vivid light against dark landforms.

This photo shows a serene beach scene just after the sun has set. The sky transitions from fiery orange and red near the horizon to softer blues and grays higher up, with clouds stretched across in layered patterns. The wet sand along the shoreline reflects the warm glow of the fading light, creating a shimmering mirror effect. Gentle waves move toward the shore, and distant landforms or islands appear as dark silhouettes across the water. The atmosphere is calm and contemplative, highlighting the beauty of the day’s end and the quiet shift into night.

I’ve been sending this photo to my MAGA family’s group chat every Sunday evening for the past month. No other text or message, just the photo. On the first Sunday there were 14 people in the group; this morning there are 6. Two more Sundays and my work will be done. #CutBait ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 👇👇🏻👇🏼👇🏽👇🏾👇🏿👇👇🏻👇🏼👇🏽👇🏾👇🏿

The photo is all text:

NOTE to MAGA:

• You didn't get a wall.

• You didn't get to drain the swamp.
• You didn't get affordable Healthcare.
• You didn't get to eliminate national debt, only raised it.
• You didn't get manufacturing back.
• You didn't get Epstein files accountability.
• You didn't get safer schools.
• You didn't get a $5000 DOGE check.

A fall rose unfurls like a quiet flame, its peach petals glowing against the tapestry of autumn’s red and gold. In the hush of the season, it stands as a tender paradox, summer’s softness lingering while the world turns toward rest. #WildflowerHour

The image shows a single rose in full bloom, its petals peach‑colored with edges tinged in deeper pink. The petals curl outward in soft layers, revealing a lighter orange center. The rose is attached to a green stem with several oval leaves. Behind it, autumn trees fill the background: one with vivid red foliage, another with bright yellow leaves. The contrast of the warm rose against the fiery fall colors creates a striking, harmonious scene. The setting appears outdoors, likely in a garden or park, with natural light illuminating the flower and leaves.

Golden flames unfurl across the meadow, each poppy a sunlit hymn to resilience; their fragile cups hold the sky’s warmth, weaving a radiant chorus of wildflower wonder that endures beyond fleeting spring. #WildflowerHour #GoldenPoppy

The photo shows a dense cluster of bright orange California poppies in full bloom. Each flower has delicate, cup‑shaped petals that glow like small flames against the backdrop of fine, feathery green foliage. The blossoms are tightly packed, creating a vivid carpet of color. Slender stems rise from the ground, supporting the blooms as they sway lightly. Behind the flowers, a wire fence is faintly visible, suggesting a garden or natural outdoor setting. The overall impression is one of abundance and radiance, capturing the lively spirit of springtime wildflowers.

In Venezuela, after the earthquake, the military and police are accused of turning survival into plunder. Soldiers guarding aid aren’t just protecting supplies; they’re taking them. America meddles, then abandons, while Americans cast themselves as abused saviors. 🙄

The image is a satirical illustration of five small green toy soldiers. Each soldier is fused with or carrying a household appliance: one has a television, another a refrigerator, another a washing machine, another a microwave, and another a stove. The soldiers stand in a row, posed as if ready for battle. At the top of the image, bold text in Spanish reads: “YA DISPONIBLES LOS NUEVOS SOLDADITOS, EDICIÓN EXCLUSIVA PARA VENEZUELA.”

The picture conveys irony and criticism, suggesting that in Venezuela after the earthquake, military and police forces are accused of stealing aid and household goods meant for victims. The soldiers are depicted not with weapons, but with appliances, symbolizing looting rather than protection.

Voting ‘Democrat’ doesn’t ensure that ICE will be stopped. Corporate Democrats working hand in hand with Republicans for the past 40 years are how we got here. If a Democratic candidate accepts donations from the same source as the Republican candidate, then the voter isn’t their constituent.

Its head and chest are a rich reddish‑orange, glowing warmly against the cool tones of the foliage. A bold black mask stretches across its eyes, giving it a mysterious, watchful expression. The beak is long and black, slightly curved, suited for probing into fruit or insects.

Its wings and tail shimmer with blue‑green feathers, catching the filtered light of the canopy. The tail is especially distinctive: elongated feathers taper into bare shafts that end in racket‑shaped tips, swaying gently like pendulums. Around the bird, the forest is alive with vines, broad leaves, and damp moss, creating a lush tropical backdrop.

The Rufous Motmot sits in stillness, yet its vivid colors and unusual tail make it appear almost like a living jewel hidden among the trees, a quiet sentinel of the rainforest.

Aphelion The Earth reaches its aphelion on July 6. This day, the Sun will be 152,088,000 km from the Earth, farther away than at any other time during 2026. My @neildegrassetyson.com tribute post.

The image is a vivid, high‑contrast illustration of the Sun. It appears as a large, glowing orange‑yellow sphere dominating the center of the frame. Along its edges, fiery arcs and wisps extend outward, these are solar prominences, shown as bright, flame‑like structures curving away from the Sun’s surface. The background is dark, which makes the Sun’s brilliance and the red‑orange prominences stand out sharply.

Above the Sun, there is text in clear white lettering. It reads:

“Aphelion
Today the Earth is farther from the Sun than at any other time of the year.”

Bill is putting the anti-immigrant immigrants on notice, and I’m okay with that… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 👇👇🏻👇🏼👇🏽👇🏾👇🏿👇👇🏻👇🏼👇🏽👇🏾👇🏿

The image is a screenshot of a social media exchange between two users on X (formerly Twitter). The layout shows a post followed by a reply beneath it.

Top post by Brigitte Gabriel (@ACTBrigitte)

The text reads:
“Zohran Mamdani, the Ugandan-born radical, has the audacity to lecture Americans on what America is, while surrounding George Washington's desk with foreigners.

This is not America. This is an invasion.”

The tone is accusatory, labeling Mamdani as a “radical” and framing the presence of foreigners as hostile.

Reply by Bill Jubran (@Bill_Jubran):

His response is blunt and contains offensive language. He writes:

“Bitch, you're from Lebanon. YOU'RE as much of a foreigner as any of them. I've talked to you in person and your accent sounds like you just got off the plane.

Who TF are you to tell us what America is?

Mamdani is helping, you're just cunting.

July 2026– Jacó Beach - Costa Rica 🇨🇷 Monday stretches across the coast; waves steady, shadows long, horizon softened by haze. The sea hums of persistence, urging each step forward, a rhythm of resilience carrying us into the week’s unfolding tide. #Photography #Resist #RiseUp

The photograph captures a tranquil tropical coastline in vivid daylight.

The foreground shows dark, fine sand, textured by ripples and faint footprints. Long shadows from unseen palm trees stretch diagonally across the beach, their edges soft against the sunlit surface. Near the water, the sand glistens with moisture, reflecting faint blue tones from the sky.

The waves roll in gentle rhythm, thin white foam tracing the shoreline before dissolving into the darker sea. The ocean deepens from pale turquoise near the shore to a rich, steady blue toward the horizon.

To the left, a forested hill rises sharply, covered in dense green foliage that meets the sea at its base. On the right, a distant island appears faint and hazy, softened by atmospheric light.

Above, the sky is clear and expansive, a bright blue canvas with only a few wisps of white cloud near the horizon. The overall mood is serene and balanced, sunlight, sea, and shadow in quiet harmony.

If USMNT wins with Balogun playing tonight after a politically overturned suspension, and then goes on to win the tournament, the victory is hollow. Fair play is lost, fans shouldn’t celebrate, and 47, not the players, should lift the trophy, since politics, not sport, decided the outcome. #FIFA

Human rights are indivisible. If you don’t condemn Gaza, you don’t condemn this. If you treat antisemitism as more important than other bigotry, you don’t condemn this. It’s all or nothing, selective, performative outrage keeps all hate alive. You can’t have it both ways. #HumanRightsForAll

The image shows the inside of a crowded metro train. Nearly all visible passengers are members of the group Patriot Front. They wear tan caps, dark shirts, and white cloths covering their faces. Some stand holding the metal poles and overhead rails, while others sit on the blue seats. Their uniformed appearance creates a stark, coordinated presence. In the center of the frame, one commuter in a plain green shirt sits among them, looking forward with a neutral expression. The contrast between the lone commuter and the surrounding group is striking.

July 2026– Jacó Beach - Costa Rica 🇨🇷 Morning unfurls like a canvas; waves shimmer as whispers of forever; sky and sea entwined; the horizon dissolves into dreamlight eternity; hearts wander beyond the edge of sight, where time feels endless. A long way of saying it’s Sunday. #Photography #Resist

The photo depicts a tranquil tropical beach scene in vivid detail. The sand is dark, almost volcanic in tone, stretching in a gentle curve along the shoreline. Small waves roll in softly, their white foam contrasting against the darker sand. On both sides of the view, lush green vegetation frames the scene, dense foliage that seems to lean toward the water, enclosing the beach in natural beauty. In the distance, a forested hill juts into the ocean, its slopes thick with trees, creating a dramatic backdrop where land meets sea. A few people walk leisurely near the water’s edge, their figures small against the vastness of the landscape, adding a quiet sense of scale. Above, the sky is partly cloudy, with patches of blue breaking through, casting a calm, balanced light across the scene. The overall impression is one of serenity and timelessness, where the contrasts of dark sand, green foliage, and blue sea and sky create a harmonious coastal tableau.

Why is no mainstream media covering global oil depletion? Prices drift down while availability collapses to zero. Benchmarks are now symbolic figures, detached from real supply. This is not relief, it’s the literal collapse of the global oil market. #OilMarket #JetFuel #GlobalCollapse 👇👇🏻👇🏼👇🏽👇🏾👇🏿👇👇🏻👇🏼👇🏽👇🏾👇🏿

The image is a table titled “Timeline: Spot Prices vs Availability.” It presents daily crude oil market data over a one‑week span, showing West Texas Intermediate (WTI) and Brent spot prices alongside notes about availability conditions. The table has four columns: Date, WTI, Brent, Availability.

• June 28, 2026
WTI: $70.05 per barrel
Brent: $72.47 per barrel
Availability: Global reserves nearly exhausted; physical cargoes scarce.
• June 29, 2026
WTI: $69.62 per barrel
Brent: $72.21 per barrel
Availability: Spot trades thin; reserves effectively gone.
• June 30, 2026
WTI: $69.11 per barrel
Brent: $72.05 per barrel
Availability: No new barrels; benchmarks detached from supply.
• July 1, 2026
WTI: $68.92 per barrel
Brent: $72.18 per barrel
Availability: Phantom pricing; demand destruction drives lower bids.
• July 2, 2026
WTI: $68.81 per barrel
Brent: $72.09 per barrel
Availability: Same‑day cargoes unavailable; benchmarks symbolic.
• July 3, 2026
WTI: $68.78 per barrel
Brent: $72.12 per barrel
Availability: Availability near zero; hollow market.
• July 4, 2026
WTI: $68.45 per barrel
Brent: $71.96 per barrel
Availability: No oil available; benchmarks continue despite collapse.

Overall, the table conveys global oil depletion: prices decline slightly while availability collapses to zero, leaving benchmarks as symbolic figures rather than reflections of real supply.
