Ethnic cleansing about to happen.
“Springfield [OH] and Clark County are coming back…It’s an upward movement. Part of that upward movement comes about because, frankly, of Haitians who are working and contributing to the economy and…and doing all the things that working people (do)…it is not in the best interest of Ohio, for these individuals who are workers and working to lose that status.” Ohio Governor DeWine as quoted by Timothy Snyder

If you believe capitalism is something we simply have to live with, then we are not standing on the same ground. I cannot accept the idea of resigning myself to a system built on exploitation and inequality, treated as if it were natural or eternal. What passes for stability in capitalism is only the quiet before another round of dispossession.
I reject the kind of unionism that settles for small reforms while leaving the machinery of domination untouched. Progress does not come from p…

The fog was just light enough to create an interesting mood I think.

A solitary tree stands resolute in a world softened by mist, its bare branches reaching upward like skeletal fingers against the muted sky. The landscape is wrapped in a quiet, ethereal haze, blurring the horizon into a seamless blend of earth and sky. Shades of gray dominate the scene—pale silver where the light struggles through the overcast clouds, deeper charcoal along the shadowed ground—creating a mood both melancholic and peaceful.

A quiet winter woodland unfolds in soft shades of gray and muted silver, where bare branches stretch like delicate lace against a pale, overcast sky. The forest stands in hushed stillness, its skeletal trees stripped of leaves, their intricate patterns creating a natural tapestry of lines and shadows.

2. Import/export accounts - the export *excludes* access tokens, so need to login again after import
They’re quite hidden, so just a heads-up 🙇‍♂️

For all of Donald Trump’s promises of an economic “golden age,”
a spate of weak indicators this week told a worrisome story as the impacts of his policies are coming into focus.
Job gains are dwindling.
Inflation is ticking upward.
Growth has slowed compared with last year.
More than six months into his term, Trump’s blitz of tariff hikes and his new tax and spending bill have remodeled America’s trading, manufacturing, energy and tax systems to his own liking.

A rocky trail winds upward through a vibrant forest, the path strewn with sunlit stones and patches of dry grass. Tall pines, their needles a rich green, stand guard on either side, their branches swaying gently in the mountain breeze. The air is crisp and clear, carrying the fresh scent of pine and earth. Above, the sky stretches wide and blue, dotted with fluffy white clouds that cast soft shadows on the landscape below.

In the distance, rolling hills and rugged peaks rise against the horizo…
A rugged, narrow trail cuts through a dense forest, its path lined with weathered rocks and patches of vibrant green moss. The towering pines and firs, their branches thick with needles, create a lush canopy overhead, casting dappled shadows on the forest floor. The air is cool and still, filled with the earthy scent of damp soil and pine resin.

The trail ascends a rocky outcrop, its surface a mosaic of gray and brown stones, some covered in a thin layer of moss and lichen. The rocks, worn smo…

Oh almost missed #MountainMonday !
I was out recently just for a bit of training. Luckily I also packed the camera "just in case ..." and saw this frosty / snowy scene.
For those who cannot walk the mountains and see such scenese themselfes.
#photography

A serene winter wonderland unfolds in this tranquil forest scene. Tall evergreens, their branches heavy with freshly fallen snow, stretch upward into a soft, overcast sky. The snow clings delicately to each needle and branch, creating a lacy, almost magical effect. The trees stand as silent sentinels, their dark green foliage peeking through the white blanket, adding depth and contrast to the otherwise monochrome landscape.

In the foreground, a gentle slope of untouched snow stretches out, its…
