Healthcare *is* freedom: to choose doctors, get meds, live debt-free! ✊ Republicans' Medicaid cuts threaten our communities. We must fight for our health & autonomy! Our government no longer serves us! We must stop them ... COLD! #SaveOurCare app.sosha.ai/s/sdfpUTTf
Speak Out!

Deadwood, like dead-end leaders, must be removed for the public good. Tame the river of lies lest they lead to a dystopian dictatorship. Where will the children play? They don't care... #logjam #LiesLiesAndMoreLies #Amendment25 #flood #salinakansas #ImpeachTrump #antifascist #strike #resistencia

If you're concerned about the direction AI development is going in, you should visit ControlAI's new campaign and use their tools to contact your lawmakers!

Top AI experts say AI poses an extinction risk on par with nuclear war.

Prohibiting the development of superintelligence can prevent this risk.

We’ve just launched a new campaign to get this done.

In 1989, the Irwin sisters played Kansas. I shot their first band, Blue Night Express, at the WVF with siblings Troy and Sharon Gilchrist. I shot the Dixie Chicks cowboy act there. The late Laura Lynch was pushed out, as was Robin Macy who runs Bartlett Arboretum in Wichita. #thechicks #dixiechicks

You don't have to be a Marxist to understand the gravity of the moment. The working class must stand up NOW. Union leaders and Dems are allowing the end of America NOW.

Italian Mountain, Co., August '82. (slide scans) This was my first climb, topping at 13,385 feet. Wide shot shows Italian at left, the pointed “shoulder of naked”, right, then summit, the top, and me at 23.🐐

Mutinus elegans or “elegant stinkhorn” mushroom. Often first detected by its carrion or semen-like odor, its spores are spread by insects attracted to the slime. They are edible at the “egg” stage. AKA the “devil's dipstick”. Medicinal.
