An old hippie, 70, retired, widowed and hanging on for all I'm worth. I LOVE Sci-Fi, nature photography, my adopted state of Oregon, dogs, dogs, dogs and people too. I'm a progressive liberal atheist humanist and won't apologize for being any of those.✌🏻

DM's. It really should go without saying that here on Bluesky DM's are unacceptable unless invited, solicited or at least one gets permission out in the public space from the account owner before sending a DM.

It's pushy and rude to just DM someone. Don't do it without prior permission.

Agreed?

I think that morals DO NOT come from theology and that it's dangerous as hell, Afghanistan Taliban kind of dangerous, to allow theologians to lay the foundation for ANYTHING.

Just a thought: Instead of Argentina, how about we bail out America first?

As Hispanic Heritage Month comes to a close, we are proud to recognize and celebrate the diverse cultures that make our state stronger.

I’ll keep fighting to make sure everyone can make it and thrive in Illinois.

“The 3.5% rule is a concept in political science that states that when 3.5% of the population of a country protest nonviolently against a government, that government is likely to fall from power.”

If you can get to a No Kings rally this Saturday, please do.

They have it. That means that we're the destitute country that needs money, not then.

American fascists are, obviously, very scared about how big a protest "No Kings" will be this weekend, as seen by their hysterical, dishonest rhetoric about it.

Let's make their fears come true by showing up on October 18

Can governors legally call up their own state's national guard to protect polling places on election day?

They need to keep ICE and the Feds far away from people voting.

I believe the south side Chicago building was “full of Tren de Aragua gang members” about as much as I believe the Venezuelan boats are filled with “narcoterrotists”.

The regime will say anything to justify unreasonable, and even lethal, force.

Coconino National Forest
Arizona

The road curves toward something unnamed.
We follow, not to escape but to answer wanderlust’s quiet pull.
We carry the journey with us,
marked by moments, movement,
and the promise of what’s still ahead.
