So, according to the Supreme Court, you can’t use race in college admissions, but you can use it snatch people off the streets. Not exactly that “color blind society” excuse they used to kneecap the Voting Rights Act. #fascism #racism

Whodathunkit that Bolton would beat the stopped clock and be right three times a day instead of two. When someone as fascist as Bolton says Trump is a problem, it’s worse that anyone could imagine. Now Patel is going after him for being (in his own twisted way) loyal to the country instead of Trump.

I took a walk across the Burnside Bridge to take pictures of the famous “Portland Oregon” sign, and I saw this on the eastern end. Quite the paint job.

So… Combover Caligula is now trying to say his coverup of his involvement with Epstein is Obama’s fault. Classic. And, yes, I meant to say it that way. #fascism #epsteincoverup

It’s not a coincidence that the Medicaid cuts don’t hit until 2027. They rigged the fuse to blow after the midterms so they can nuke your healthcare, then blame the fallout on Democrats. #AFP.

In a cynical display of cowardice, the Repiglicans slated the Medicaid cuts to kick in after the 2026 election.

Yaki Point, Grand Canyon, Arizona

It was my first trip to the Grand Canyon. It’s impressive, but oddly smaller than I thought. Considering all of the places with no railings, my best advice if you go there is, don’t fall in.

East of Needls, #Arizona, I found this while searching for a view of “The Needles”: a spiky mountain range to the south. I didn’t find that, but I got this picture instead.
