As I was walking down Main St. in Canandaigua a few weeks ago, I was hit in the face by a wind-tossed American flag. This pretty much sums up how I feel right now in this farkakte country.

Trump has decimated funding for Medicaid, SNAP, and crucial agencies like FEMA and the CFPB.
Now, he's demanding his cronies at DOJ give him a ludicrous $230M in taxpayer funds as "compensation" for past investigations.
He's picking your pockets to line his own.

MURDER ON THE HIGH SEAS!!! Trump’s latest strike on a “alleged” drug vessel marks the sixth such attack — all based on mere allegations, not evidence. Under U.S. and international law, drug interdiction means arrest, not annihilate. So why is America now using missiles instead of handcuffs? Read on👇

This Friday I will be attending a #Guster concert at the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC. The band chose not to cancel their two shows, despite the hostile takeover by the Anger Yam. I've chosen to show my own dissent with a small but visible act--the rainbow skirt I bought just for this occasion.

Conversation with my 26 year-old daughter. The brother in question is a 23-year-old guitarist in a hard-core band. My 21-year-old son actually likes #Guster.

Billionaire oligarchs behind #NRx have launched a campaign to delay public outrage and buy DOGE and #Trump more time to push American #democracy past the point of no return. Expect a surge in bot activity, gaslighting the public and creating a smokescreen to whitewash and praise #DOGE and #ElonMusk.

Nearly $7 million has been “apportioned” over the past week to cover DOGE-related expenses.

Don’t just say DEI as if it’s a bad word. Spell it out.
Say diversity, which is the lifeblood of American society & culture & innovation.
Say equity, which a just society should pursue.
Say inclusion, because decent people believe in increasing belonging, not isolating people who are different.

I inherited this Hanukkiah (menorah) when my father passed away this summer. It was made by his father in India, where they fled to escape the Holocaust. I am proud to be lighting the candles this Hanukkah in my father’s memory.

A model for all media. Report accurately. Facts matter. Isn't that what journalism is all about anyway?
