@MattMcNeilShow RFK might be the most dangerous thing about Trump getting elected. That man is going to kill us all.

If God fearing Christians actually feared God they wouldn’t be part of the Trump cult.

The foreground features pine trees and a blend of greenery, creating a serene natural landscape.A tranquil lake scene featuring calm water reflecting trees and clouds, with logs and rocks in the foreground and a wooded hillside in the background.A dirt path winds through a lush green forest, surrounded by tall trees. In the background, mountains with patches of snow are visible against a blue sky with scattered clouds.A trail sign pointing towards "Mason Town Tr.

@Incognitim The only ones running back to Twitter are the Nazis that don’t like that they’re not accepted on BlueSky (or elsewhere). Ol’ Mark just doesn’t like that people are willing t to call him out on shit, that they don’t just accept him as 100% genius on all things.

To be clear — here is what is happening

DOJ orders ICE to arrest people—even without a judicial warrant

People see these violations of their rights—peacefully protest

LAPD confirms people protested peacefully—as is their Constitutional right

Trump fabricates claim of violence—deploys National Guard

Fascists escalate violence to justify their existence. That’s what Trump is doing. Don’t fall for it. Stand united with our neighbors against this tyranny.

And a few pics from the evening hike in Red Rocks after the rain... #hiking #Colorado

A path leads through the center of the picture towards the mountains. Lush greenery lines both sides of the trail.Lost of green grass in lower half of the image, leading to pine trees, then mountains rising in the background (including Pikes Peak), and lastly the sun shining through clouds in the sky overhead.A trail wends up throug the center-right side of the image. Red sandstone rock formations pop up through the greenery on the left. Partly cloudy skies overhead.A black, white & tan dog in a pink harness stands atop a mount of red dirt. In the background are green mountains, red rock formations, and partly cloudy skies.

Took a little midday stroll with the pooch. Hot out there today! #hiking #colorado

Landscape scene, with Garden of the Gods far off in the background, and hillside trail with a black and white dog on it in the foreground. Trail enters the scene from the lower left corner and leads toward center of the image.

Why is Trump begging China to give him a win? Because he and his cavalcade of morons never understood the far reaching effects of their insanely stupid trade policies. minnesotareformer.com/2025/05/

Conservatives this morning are bragging about Trump's Great New Trade Deal with Britain.

... with whom the U.S. does not have a trade deficit.

@krystyna Thanks! It’s kinda cliche here in the Springs, where every photographer eventually gets this shot, but hey, there’s a reason for that - it does make a pretty cool frame. :)

I shot this a couple days ago, after our rainy spell from the first few days of the week ended. I know it's kind of a cliche shot, but I couldn't resist with the fresh snow up on the peak.

FYI, if you happen to be a scientist in a large English-speaking country with uncertain future research financing; my employer, Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST) is looking for grad students, postdocs and PIs.

It's a research institute, so no undergraduates, and the working language is English - no japanese required. And its located on a (semi) tropical island in the Pacific.
