So I just scrolled @apnews.com on Bluesky for the last 24 hrs or so.
I saw NOT ONE post about the No Kings protests happening at 2600+ sites across the U.S. (and world!).
Their a.m. email newsletter said thousands of people protested, when in reality it was MILLIONS of people.

Belated good morning from Jo Jo!
This was from our morning walk around Lake Hollingsworth.

This used to be one of Jo Jo's favorite spots after I first brought her home.
But it's the first time in a couple of years that I've seen her up on the back of that chair.

For my friends who are struggling

"This letter is to you.

The you that's had a rough week. The you that seems to be under constant storm clouds. The you that feels invisible. The you that doesn't know how much longer you can hold on. The you that has lost faith. The you that always blames yourself for everything that goes wrong. To you.

You are incredible. You make this world a little bit more wonderful. You have so much potential and so many things left to do. You have time. Better things are coming your way, so please hang in there. You can do it."

The Trump regime's war on Christianity continues, as regime troops attacks Americans across the United States and rounds up majority Christian immigrants, they've also targeted religious leaders.

Here the Trump regime ICE forces shot a pastor in the head in the latest attack on civilians.

To this day, whenever I hear the Blue Danube, the 2001 A Space Odyssey movie runs through my head.
Believe it or not I saw it in the theater when it was new. My mom took me to see it. I was 8 or 9.

I believe these are private-sector jobs, reported by ADP.
