Always a good day for #Caturday.

Does anyone know what a cat is called when they have a stripe down their noses like this? I've got a gray kitty like this and he is an awesome fellow and SO loving.

ICE has just posted 50 agents here for December. All around me, it's gone quiet, frozen, silent. Like these egrets, nobody moves.

Tomorrow there's training in how to ID, report, follow and document them, these predators. 😠

I'll be safe. Promise. 🙏

It may be dark, but there's still a sun shining --- somewhere --- even if we cannot see it.

THANK YOU, all my friends and followers, for the kind words and support. It helps.

🙏🙏🙏

Despite all the weirdness around here, I'm upbeat and cheerful, getting ready for a lovely Friendsgiving on Thursday with my gal pals.

Happy Thursday to All!

We are lucky folks, y'all. Lucky indeed. And we know it.

Happy Friendsgiving to everyone! ☮️

BOYCOTT!

Not quite dumping the tea in Boston Harbor, but should still send the right message to the oligarchs who need to hear it.

So ICE has left town, sort of, their car caravans and menacing behavior gone, replaced by plain clothes observers monitoring hardware stores and schools. You couldn't get a squeaky door fixed for love or money.

We'll get more direction tonight at our mtg, postponed from last week. "Good", sort of.

They're gone. Why?
-Local constabulary uncooperative
-Some businesses shuttered, their illegals sent home
-Illegals melted away
-Dems were organized, loud, stubborn -- united
-Easier victims elsewhere (e.g. Charlotte)

Will they be back? We're betting our Blue Sky they will be.

We'll be ready. 🦋

They're here
We have received reports that ICE will be in Wake County tomorrow and throughout the week.

Their presence is not wanted, not needed, and not welcome in our community.

Please be safe and know your rights. We will share more information with you soon.

Today's thought: Working hard to help someone, throwing one's heart and soul into it, demonstrates that one has both.

On another note, me, today:

I love little blooms
living in cracks of concrete.
No one can kill hope

Goodnight!

I accidentally deleted this post. (Sigh -- technology!)

From this OP: "My daily #peace offering" -- nice 😊

I appreciate this thought as well, buried within: #protectyourpeace.

Today is a day of rest and rejuvenation. TY for the photo AND the thoughts and sorry for the accidental deletion. 🙁

After acting as head of the Hospitality Team and sharing my AWESOME political "explainer" slides at an amazing political meeting last night with a record 80 attendees...

...today, my only serious activity will be to learn to set up my phone camera for tonight's big show!

I'm EXCITED! 🤩

It isn't how I've felt, crawling up every day from the coal face, one eye swollen shut, clothes in shreds, hair and blood all over me, some of it mine. It's what I see/sense right now.

THIS makes me happy. What I see. And it's something surprising and it's joyful coming from the blackness:

"Boom boom…boom boom…

"The pulse of Democracy returning.

"You see, this wasn’t just an election; it was proof of life.

"Irrefutable evidence that the collective heart of our nation is still functioning"

SOMEBODY'S happy today.

Oh! That would be ME. 😉

We've had SO MANY wins in NC in this election, and the final electoral counts still keep rolling in. All our hard work IS paying off. Hurray!!!

Stay tuned bc things will just KEEP getting better. That's my opinion and I'm stickin' to it!

Oh! How delightful. Familiar things, juxtaposed, and cast in a different light.

Like Halloween but in nature.

Autumn!

A flower for your day -- and mine.

I applaud its ability to be so silly and sweet as to BLOOM already!

I'm behind you, little Rhododendron. You be you.

This is so ME right now.

Happy, quiet, peaceful.

Relaxed. ❤️

Goodnight all.

Yes!

Too many people would just say the claims of similarity are false. Exaggerations Lies. Meant to inflame rather than inform. Or maybe even say this is "violent rhetoric that needs to stop".

A visit with family...a calm evening with the hint of autumn colors...

Wishing all a beautiful end-of-the-week and an awesome weekend ahead.

Great thread, Alt National Park Service. I have begun to notice some of these things. Clusters of responses. No direct "contact" with original poster. Few followers.

Can we try to do the same thing -- but going the other way?

Should we? I mean, without the bots -- just with our own responses?
So many people feel overwhelmed while scrolling and there’s a reason for that. Bots are a large part of the problem. We’ve been breaking down how to spot them. After tracking bot groups that push narratives and attacks, we found some common traits:
