United we stand. Saying things doesn't make them true; my faith is in facts. Fairness fan, quant. I want an economy and country that works for all. Democracy is not a spectator sport. ⚖️🇺🇲🗳️

I don't understand the relationship between
@pbs.org & @npr.org. Donate to your local NPR station & "NPR Network," which supports NPR stations less well-funded than my local @KQED (to which I also donate). You can donate at www.npr.org/donations/su... **Is there anything like this for PBS?**

We had a vacation planned for today. Because a wildfire started and grew fast before we left we treated it as an evacuation and took the cats with us. One is enjoying the VRBO more than the other. #caturday

In one day in the US, three urban civilian shootings, not just in Manhattan. Atlanta and Reno, too. I'm pretty sure none of the shooters were undocumented immigrants. Is America Great enough yet? Can we stop now? And yes, I subscribe to my local newspaper.

Genius Andy Borowitz on CBS statement on cancelling Stephen Colbert's show, my thought exactly: methinks thou protest too much ('we're not doing this for any of the reasons you point out about why we're doing it).

I'm all for free, non-violent speech, but why are churches exempt from *any* rules for being tax exempt 501c3? Who could have standing to sue? Disgusting. Gift article www.nytimes.com/2025/07/07/u...

On my way to LARGE #NoKings rally in Santa Rosa CA, saw this group on a side road by a retirement village. Why there? "We have walkers and wheelchairs" Gave a ride to the big rally to my new friend Iris. ⚖️🇺🇲🗳️🎆 @rachelmaddow.bsky

Wait, which one of these candidates has a mandate? The incumbent guy who won *reelection* with 59.2% (Gavin News I'm), or the guy who got less than half of the votes in his election?

Harvard says many of its foreign students are looking to transfer to other schools. It would be amazing if the majority if not all accredited institutions of higher education joined together to celebrate an expedited exchange process for them for the next 4 years. #UnitedWeStand ⚖️🇺🇲🗳️

Not all pro-Palestine people are violent. Like these victims, many Jews and Israelis are horrified by the conflict, and have worked with Palestinians for peace for decades. But you can't call the "pro Palestinian movement" pacifist if it promotes no solution to the violence on *both* sides.

Nobody elected Yarvin or any of these "nobody elected them" fascist wannabe dictators either. And they aren't accountable either. Make it make non-solipsistic sense.
