Oh, hello, Mastodon. Please enjoy this sunset, from today.

My son and I used to get matching costumes when he was little. This year, he’s getting a matching costume with his girlfriend.

They grow up so fast. 🥲

This now all-too-common harassment and intimidation of ordinary people caught in the crosshairs of fascist sore losers makes my blood boil. It threatens the underpinnings of democracy and our justice system, and it needs to be responded to strongly, clearly, and quickly.

WTF has happened to our country? One party's frontrunner was unanimously adjudged a rapist by a federal jury, his namesake company was convicted of tax fraud, and he's under indictment for 91 felony counts in 4 different jurisdictions.

#Trump followers stormed the capital trying to block the peaceful transition of power. He calls them patriots and pledges to pardon them, which will only embolden more followers to commit more crimes in his name.

He attacks the prosecutors, judges and witnesses, vowing to go after them, while his followers dox the grand jurors and threaten a federal judge.

Meanwhile, the GOP sits by in silence, as if any part of this is normal??? These are warning signs of a nation on the precipice, and should not be ignored due to cowardice, or to political expediency

Can the 236 year-old American experiment in democracy survive a cult built around a dangerous and autocratic criminal?

#TrumpIndictment

The average US president has been charged with 2 felonies.
