just took the dogs out. big ol' black bear in the side yard (about 25 yards from where we are). no experience guessing weight of bears but a human that big would be about 400 pounds. front yard is fenced, dogs were safe. bear bounded off behind the shed and across the street. scary moment but all good. and that is why i have locks on the garbage barrel. I've cleaned up after them too many times. btw, the locks work great. they've wrestled it all over the yard and it's stayed secure
replaced them as best i could. will go to the Dems office tomorrow for more. they had only pulled the signs off and left the frames. the new ones have flags attached with zip ties through holes i poked in the plastic and tied tightly to the frames

Actual police officers don't seem to think much of the Fraternal Order of Police's endorsement of Dickless.

From Robert Reich: #TFGByTheNumbers
Let’s review the numbers on Donald Trump:
34 felony convictions
54 pending criminal charges
2 impeachments
2 popular vote losses
$88 million owed to E. Jean Carroll
$450 million owed for civil fraud
$8 trillion added to national debt
2.9 million net loss of jobs
Is this what Trump meant when he promised “numbers like we’ve never seen”?

The Federal Order of Police are fascists, they endorsed #Trump, yesterday. It was very disgusting that they clapped when Trump celebrated that Nancy Pelosi's husband was beat with a hammer.
woke up this morning and our road signs were stolen last night. pretty ballsy under a streetlight.

Did you ever think you'd see the day when Dick Cheney would endorse and vote for a Democrat? Well, that day is here. NOBODY SHOULD STILL BE RIDING THE FENCE. Donald Trump is not only evil, he's mentally ill and in cognitive decline and is unfit for the presidency. Hell, he's unfit to clean the White House toilets.

JD Vance’s solution to affordable child care? Make relatives do it for free 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
“One of the things that we can do, is make it easier for families to choose whatever model they want,” the Ohio senator said. “One of the ways that you might be able to relieve a little bit of the pressure on people is... maybe grandma or grandpa wants to help out a little bit more. Or maybe there’s an aunt or uncle that wants to help out a little bit more.”
I have a job.

This thread will be dedicated to the victims of the Apalachee High School shooting.
Mason Schermerhorn, 14
His sister had circulated photos of him on social media when family couldn’t contact him. Because he was autistic, they thought he might have wandered off.
