Where are all the good guys with guns? The people who have spent the last 50 years telling us that we had to make sure every American has a gun in case we needed them to protect ourselves from tyranny?
And where are the stories to point this out (they may be there; I just don't know)?

He didn't shoot her in the head at point blank range because he felt like he was in danger. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he was furious that she wasn't afraid of him. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he felt emasculated.

Looks like ICE is now cracking down on … Native Americans.
This letter was just posted by the chairman of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe in North/South Dakota:
“Our Nation is a sovereign government and our members are not immigrants. We are not subject to immigration enforcement on our own lands.”

Stupid things I think about while walking the dog:
You can sing verse lines from Billy Joel's "Captain Jack" to the tune of "Don't Worry, Be Happy"
Saturday night and you're still hangin' around
Tired of living in your one horse town
Don't worry. Be happy.

Her vehicle's right front panel cleared the ICE agent who didn't open fire until after he was at the side of her vehicle. He used deadly force on a fleeing individual, which is against DHS policy. This is murder. He needs to be arrested.

This is still one of my favorite songs. I always hesitate to analyze art / music because it's personal & I'm no expert. But I'll say that to me it has a perfect balance of melancholy & optimism, emptiness & passion. And the soaring orchestrals always move me.

Was there any doubt that my favorite photo from Nov 2025 was going to be from the year’s biggest aurora storm?
I chose this photo to share not only because it's a new one from that series to this channel but also the only one with my tiny little shadow at the bottom :)
