Thank you to all the fire crews, law enforcement, medical staff, contract crews and everyone else that has been working these fires. We appreciate you! This was yesterday by the Downriver Golf Course.

While out on a stroll today I ran into Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth. I asked if I could take their picture. They stood next to each other and put their arms around their waists like they weee snuggling.

Colorado prosecutors decide to charge ICE security contractor with murder in the second degree and assault for murdering a protester outside the ICE concentration camp in Aurora, CO. Apparently he thought as an ICE agent, he had a license to kill. Does Markwayne have anything to say about this?

What is sad is that this seems pretty obviously to be a mental health issue and it is not being addressed at all. This is a failure of our society and our government. It is also a failure of @StarsandStrips.bsky.social for not addressing it. I feel bad for this young soldier. Meanwhile, Trump…

Interested in how leopard slugs mate? Well here are two in my yard having a romantic evening. Did you know that leopard slugs have both male & female parts? Those thing you see in my pictures are their penises. They exchange semen and then pull their bits back into themselves. Nature is amazing!

There once was a time that the government hid the bad things that they did so we wouldn’t find out and hold them accountable. Now the government doesn’t even try to hide the bad things because they know we can’t hold them accountable. They aren’t afraid of us anymore. We are afraid of them.

I am so grateful for my family. Father’s Day reminds me how lucky I am. My kids are amazing! It also makes me think of 16-yo Aiken Smith and his family who lived in Kellogg, Idaho and were murdered on Father’s Day 3 years ago by a horrible neighbor. Hug your family and hold them close. ❤️

The Spokane 3 were from Spokane. Those were our community members. Most of the jury was not from Spokane but places like Clarkston, Yakima and Wenatchee.
