Friend: I feel like we don’t talk anymore.

Me: Well, you tell me that I’m overreacting when you think a conversation is becoming too “political” and it’s usually a topic that really matters to me, so we might not have much to talk about for a while.

Come for their stupid right-wing polices that bankrupt their countries, stay for their inability to do hair.

Cant believe this is what they are focusing on, when they aren’t even able to keep the government open.

Kudos to dozens of airports across the country that are refusing to play state propaganda.

The gun-worshipping “patriots” are silent now that the boots are on the street.

They swore they’d rise if tyranny came, yet here they aren’t.

It’s an inflatable frog out there proving courage doesn’t need bullets, just backbone. Freedom’s not flags or rifles, it’s who dares to face power unarmed.

A man in a large inflatable frog costume stands defiantly facing a line of heavily armed riot police at night. Behind the officers, journalists and onlookers record the standoff. The image is overlaid with a quote from Tom Morello that reads: “Fascinating that all those ‘Don’t Tread On Me’ posers and their AR-15s are nowhere to be seen and government tyranny is instead being opposed by a guy in an inflatable frog suit.”

Holy hell in a handbasket… last week I agreed with something MTG posted, and today I’m agreeing with Mr-Guns-On-My-Christmas cards?!

I think Bingo cards are obsolete, y’all…

I would honestly like to see more people aghast. Because then we might actually see some action.

The Trump administration is now ticketing LEGAL residents for failing to carry their papers.

We're at the "papers, please" stage of fascism.

It’s a start. Keep making phone calls to keep partisan politics out of airport safety PSAs.

That's the one. Every NFT, every meme coin, every golden sneaker, Qatari jet, the insider trading.. ..I remember how Carter had to sell his little farm to avoid even the perception of corruption.

I shot this 15 years ago—back when people took photos for memories, not likes; when the world felt safer for our kids; when Halloween was about holding hands for trick-or-treat. Everything changes but sometimes I wish I could stay in this moment, when the scary stuff in life was still over her head🖤
