The Lot Of Forgotten Cars
I found this lot of dusty, apparently junked cars and trucks outside of Wilmington, California. I'm not sure what their story is because they aren't set up like a pull-a-part yard or a crushing operation.
Even from this height, you can se

In the corner
of our #dusty
dark box
we pawns convene
and plot to overthrow
the demented King
and his court
of well heeled fools
We shall organize
Leverage our
strength in numbers
Become an
overwhelming
unrelenting horde
Move en masse
like tiny drops
in a tidal wave
Push our smug
oppressors off the board
We will change the rules
Level the playing field
Make our world more just
Cause when all is said and done
There is no game without us
William Wolfe served in the Trump administration
both as the deputy assistant secretary of defense
and as director of House affairs at the Department of State.
He is also an alumnus of #Heritage #Action,
a sister organization of the Heritage Foundation,
the arch-conservative think tank behind Project 2025,
whose chief architect, Russell Vought, posted on X that he was “proud to work with @William_E_Wolfe on scoping out a sound Christian Nationalism.”
A few months later, the Bucks County Beacon uncovered a lengthy online manifesto on the goals of Christian nationalists.
The document, which listed Wolfe and Joel Webbon as contributing editors
and Oklahoma Sen. #Dusty #Deevers as a co-author,
called for “civil magistrates” to usher in “the establishment of the Ten Commandments as the foundational law of the nation.”
The manifesto doesn’t specify exactly how Christian nationalists should achieve these goals.
As Tabachnick, the extremism researcher, interprets it, the TheoBros are imagining a utopia where “they are going to be free to be entrepreneurs in all different senses,
including the tech world that they’re mixing with so freely.”
The key, she said, is that authoritarianism “is required to have the utopian vision.”
Last year, the extremism watchdog group Right Wing Watch posted a video of Wolfe quoting a scripture passage.
There are times when “even the God of peace proclaims by his providence, ‘to arms!’” he says.
“If we have ever lived in a point of time in American history since then that we could argue that now is a time ‘to arms’ again, I think we are getting close.”
William Wolfe’s Christian nationalism manifesto made the rounds on social media,
but in mainstream conservative outlets,
it was #Stephen #Wolfe
(no relation to William)
who brought TheoBro ideas to the wider world.
In his book, which was praised by editors at the Federalist and the American Conservative,
Wolfe paints America as a “#gynocracy” whose government and culture have been feminized by unhappy women leaders.
(Sound familiar?)
He has stated on X that women should not have the right to vote, and that “interethnic” marriage can be “sinful.”

The #children sat in stunned silence, their #fragile bodies still #tethered to medical drips outside the #okhmatdyt children’s hospital in central #Kyiv
They had not long emerged from the #hospitals dark, #dusty #bombshelter and their eyes were still #adjusting to the light.
A woman rushed past, cradling an #infant covered with #blood. #Okhmadyt
Oklahoma state Senator Dusty Deevers is the Christian #extremist who co-authored the horrifying “#Statement on #Christian #Nationalism,” which was co-edited by self-described Christian Nationalist William #Wolfe, an alum of #HeritageFoundation. --- #Project2025’s lead organizer
This intense sermon would be disturbing enough coming from a random pastor.
It's even worse when you realize it's Oklahoma State Sen. #Dusty #Deevers calling on #Christian men to go to #war for #Jesus.

HEPA vacuumed the floor of five rooms and restarted by Corsi Rosenthal boxes (because of construction dust EVERYWHERE).
My son says: "why bother, they are going to create more dust"
But, my thought is the more removed the less that sticks to the ceilings and walls. I'll have to change out the filters though (for both the vacuum and the Corsi Rosenthal boxes)-- drywall dust clogs them up! (better the filters than my lungs).
I found a happy yet incredibly dusty, and so shiny that it was impossible to take a pic without a reflection robot today.

we made it to my parents’ house in central florida late yesterday, and had a lovely time sitting and catching up with them into the evening. today, i am now up and about, sharing a coffee with my parents’ cat dusty. he’s an old fella, diabetic, and not very mobile, but one of the friendliest cats i have ever met. he’s a big ol’ sweetheart, as i suspect he has been for about the last 2 or 3 hundred years.

It was coming from behind the wall. I woke my partner up, grabbed tools, and cut out a meter-square chunk of drywall (I couldn't precisely locate the sound). I pulled it out, and immediately after, out came a very #dusty and #tired Zena. She came straight into my hands. She'd gone into the wall, fell down to the basement, and was trying to scratch her way out.
I repaired the drywall on the weekend, but I made that first latch for her cage right after we #rescued her.
