Goodnight my #bluesky friends! Another #soccernight sunset for you, much love💖💜🌞💖💜

A star upon her brow;
With sunset blushes in her cheeks,
She beckons now"

Sunset over the soccer field, the yellow line guides our eye towards a pink and purple sky.

The picture shows a landscape at sunset. In the foreground, the dark branches of a pine tree can be seen, framing the image. In the middle, there is a calm body of water reflecting the warm colors of the sky. A small settlement lies on the shore. In the background, several layers of mountains rise, depicted as dark silhouettes against the sky. The sky is rendered in soft shades of orange, yellow, and gray, with some clouds.

Good morning. Happy Wednesday!
There are horizons above. We put up fences, gaze set on the clouds. Step over the barrier, walk freely, clouds yielding, the vastness of entirely exposed.

I'm completely serious when I say this. A candidate, who puts out a campaign video, wearing a Dropkick Murphys sweatshirt, is a candidate for the people.
The message he puts out, is damn good too.

An extraordinary new policy from the Defense Department that equates basic reporting methods to criminal activity has prompted a revolt among Pentagon journalists that could leave the nation's largest agency and the world's largest military without a press corps.

'Without precedent': Virtually all news outlets reject restrictive Pentagon press policy

The policy would force news organizations to refrain from publishing material not approved by the military. Media lawyers say it violates the 1st Amendment.

These folks in ICE saw Trump pardon the January 6th insurrectionists.
These folks in ICE, who are ordering and committing these acts, genuinely believe they are never going to face any consequences for their actions.
They are going to be in for a very big surprise when we do take power back.

Donald Trump is bragging that "This will be the longest government shutdown ever."

Fuck Donald Trump. He will NEVER break the will of democracy defending Americans. Take pride in that...and make Goddamned sure you're part of making sure that remains our reality.

California, this November 4th, the whole country is counting on you.

Prop 50 puts our elections back on a level playing field, preserves independent redistricting over the long term, and lets the people decide.

So return your ballot today. Vote yes on 50.
