The young man standing on the left was my uncle. I never met him. He died from polio 15 years before I was born.

He spent his final days in an iron lung. The sorrow of witnessing his suffering devastated my grandparents.

Vaccines save lives—those of the afflicted and those who love them.

Nowhere in the hysterical pile-on against the BBC in the British press has anyone mentioned that BBC News now has 77 million viewers & listeners in the US and has established itself as the second most trusted news source there.

Posted especially for Mike’s mom. Photo taken May 6, 2025, at my field of a Harvest Brodiaea flower. Before I started to clear the brush from the property, I only saw one flower growing on the property, now I have many and expecting more. #wildflowers #photography #nature #NorthernCalifornia

Even though this happened two weeks ago I just saw it. ICE shoot a US Marshall. This is how untrained these idiots are.

This a big deal: "China’s carbon dioxide emissions have been flat or falling for 18 months"

China's economy has grown by ~5% in the last year, so this comprehensively debunks the idea (again) that emissions are tied to growth. So yes, faster progress needed, but this is how you turn the corner.

I usually go all out for Halloween on stream , it’s my favorite time of year on Twitch.

But I’ll be real with y’all… holidays are hard for me right now.
So today we’re keeping it chill. A cozy Halloween stream, games with friends, and maybe some scary ones later 🎃

One of the most bewildering things in this hellscape are the people who are *excited* for a civil war.

Most people who die in wars aren’t going out like Master Chief in a blazing firefight. They’re dying from disease, hunger, and the consequences of lost infrastructure.

The way he rubs his inhumanity in Americans” face never ceases to stun me.

He’s illegally refusing to pay food stamp benefits…

…while he throws a ridiculously over the top Gatsby party for his right wing millionaire and corporate friends.

Canada says “elbows up.” I say for America, “cameras out.” Film every last one of these brutal criminals. We will need the evidence for their trials.

🚨ICE posing as sheriff in Hollywood, CA. Governor Newsom is going to see this and he is going to be lit with rage, as he should be. The guy asking questions on video pointing out all the illegal acts they are committing. Let’s make sure he sees what happened tonight. 1/2

who creates the lively art and music scenes if the rent is too high? who makes cultural life? who serves you food or washes your dishes? who creates the fancy little restaurants that draw you to urban living? affordable housing is at the heart of what makes city life worthwhile.

I can’t wait for the media to tell us in 2029 all about Trump’s steep cognitive decline and psychosis while he was president, with numerous examples that they just discovered through extensive research and sourcing.

Trump’s govt shutdown is another reminder
•We dont have an energy shortage
•Or insulin shortage
•Or housing shortage
•Or teacher shortage
•Or labor shortage
•Or food shortage

We have billionaire excess who buy politicians to deny human rights. We dont suffer from scarcity—but from billionaire greed

“Fastest accumulation of $1 Trillion in debt outside of the pandemic…”

But at least the rich got their tax cuts, right @MarshaBlackburn? With Inequality at gilded age levels.

PSA: They don’t care about the debt and never did.
