"Arab! She's Arab!": Pro-Israel demonstrators pepper spray a pro-Palestine Jewish woman, accuse her of being an “Arab” (as if that’s a negative thing to be accused of) and sexually harass her in front of The Museum of Tolerance in Los Angeles at the Gal Gadot organized screening. https://www.instagram.com/reel/CzcMldYPMgl/?igshid=cndqMGlrY2V5d3p1

Hey all! This is a shot that I took last weekend during our hike. During the way up, I was quite sure that I would not get a nice shot as we walked up in the shade - and well - shades isn't a very cool situation for good photos. BUT - this one wasn't too bad I guess.

Maybe over saturated? Hmm maybe I'll review it again. Anyways, enjoy!

I'm just blocking "liberals" who say they can't bring themselves to vote for Biden/Harris because he's "disappointed" them on some issue or other.

The choice is between preserving and expanding democracy and letting fascists destroy democracy altogether.

This is so obvious and well-known that I have to suspect that many of these accounts are actually sleepers set up to bait and switch, aiming to put liberals off of voting.

Yes yes, the leaves are changing and falling.

But I'm always tickled to find a gorgeous face in my window when I get home. 🏡

A horrible photo, but a good memory: me in Bangalore, India many years ago, preparing to go to a wedding. Thank goodness the family I was staying with (met on a prior trip) could take me shopping for a sari blouse, lend me a sari, and put the sari on me. #ThrowbackThursday #TBT #India

Friday stalkers.

If you’re thinking about backing Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. because he’s a Kennedy, remember that the other Kennedys have openly denounced his candidacy. If you respect the Kennedys, respect their opinions about RFK, Jr.

Breaking 🚨 Shell is suing us and Greenpeace UK and threatening an $8 MILLION damages claim for peacefully protesting their climate destruction.

Big Oil is trying to silence us. We will NOT back down ✊

Republicans are incompetent either on purpose or by accident- it doesn’t matter as it has the same result. They can’t get anything done for the country that anyone truly wants or needs.

GOP divisions force Mike Johnson to punt on spending bills-

We are 9 days out from a government shutdown, and Republican representatives are hard at work putting VP Harris, Secretary Pete Buttigieg and Press Secretary Karine Jean Pierre's salaries to a vote.

If anybody’s salary oughta be on the line it’s every Republican member of the House.

They haven’t done anything to warrant a paycheck.

@mwl @Benhm3 I quote this one tweet constantly

Me: Mastodon is the best. People are friendly, there's no manipulative algorithm, and it's full of interesting content.

Journalist: Amazing, the headline of my article will be "Mastodon is social media's new hope".

Me: Also, there are no ads.

Journalist: Interesting. Let's change that headline to "Mastodon is a toxic cesspool that is already dead".

Good morning. 🌜🌘🌚

Waking up in the morning is better than not waking up. I think that is the case anyway, who knows. For sure, the coffee is better this morning I threw out the "on sale" stale Italian roast beans and opened a fresh bag of French roast.

I was at Barns and Noble in Shreveport a couple of days ago, I purchased the latest John Grisham book, but I picked up and held in my hand a book titled "All the Light We Cannot See" by Anthony Doerr, I didn't get it, though I wish I had. At home I found out it was also a short Netflix series and watched. I thought it was excellent, emotionally moving. I'll get my hands on the book.

I like the quote I found this morning. Too many people have strong opinions about things that they know nothing about, don't you think?
