The great tragedy of present day America is that The People do not realize they are all on the same side against the ultra rich, who divide and mislead half of us, all in service of their own wealth and power.
May we The People all be singing the same song in the near future.
Preventable.
The first study by Andrew Wakefield that putatively showed a link between vaccines and autism was later retracted. It was flawed.
Scientific studies do not show a link.
Why do people still believe Wakefield?

If Republicans in Indiana can tell Trump to get fucked, Republicans everywhere can too.

Materialistic capitalism is a prison that keeps us separated from each other, from our true selves, from the Earth.
I hope I live long enough to witness The Great Breakout. The Great Breakthrough.

So many of us knew what was ahead. But our knowing did not avert the catastrophe now unfolding that we call climate chaos.
It’s not too late to stop the worst of it. We have to reinvent the world and we have the means to do it.

Thank you to Senator Ron Wyden for letting us know the MAGA Senate Republicans are trying to slide a nationwide abortion ban into the shutdown negotiations.

Hell no! They want to control every part of women’s lives and we aren’t having it.

F the patriarchy.

Well he did copy Bernie Sanders in 2016. He knew it was a winning platform - too bad the Democrats didn’t know.

Is there such a thing as a class action restraining order?
Can we put one on Trump so he doesn’t tear down any more of our property?

You can now preview 2026 ACA insurance premiums on healthcare.gov.

A family of four in Maricopa County paid $514 a month for their ACA plan in 2025. Next year, that same plan will cost $2,435. That kind of increase will be devastating for thousands of Arizona families.

You’ve probably heard but I have been federally indicted by Trump’s DOJ.

We now have to cover the costs of a campaign *and* a legal battle to preserve our First Amendment rights.

Please stay.
That is the greatest battle with depression: pulling yourself through the present despair to a place just slightly in the future where you may be surprised by joy or feel less tired or see something differently.

You deserve to experience that place.

Your representatives in Congress should never cede their power to ANYONE because that power is YOUR power which you have invested in them with the understanding they will wield it on your behalf.
Republicans have ceded their power to Trump and it is a betrayal of the people they’ve sworn to serve.

Did you know that a typhoon just hit Alaska & displaced over 1,000 people and washed away entire communities?

If your media isn't covering this, it's bc these are Indigenous communities.

The Pentagon press thing is a no-win situation but in such cases walking away with your integrity intact is the only way out. Good on those people!

The American people deserve a public health system that puts science before politics.

That's why California and 14 other governors are joining forces to launch the Governors Public Health Alliance to protect communities and guarantee decisions are rooted in data and health.

Sharing again…I hope you take a few minutes to read this and understand more about this day which many of us now call Indigenous People’s Day.
And for another perspective Heather Cox Richardson’s post more on the history of Columbus Day.
If you missed our segment on @johnfugelsang.bsky.social’s show last week, catch @simonmoyasmith.bsky.social & me here for free. We talk about Columbus Day (basically the Confederate flag of holidays),the Ambler mining road in Alaska, ICE raids, & more.

Ooooh hoohoohoo this is good! John Fugelsang’s new book - which is a New York Times bestseller - explains why there are Christians and there are Christ followers. What exactly happened along the way to a religion that espouses the opposite of what the religion’s savior actually preached.

That’s a nice trick, since Biden wasn’t the president on Jan 6.
