Retired professor of population and evolutionary genetics. I cycle a lot - both in NYC environs and in the southern Berkshires - tend to our property the Berkshires, and am into woodworking. Diehard liberal, I’m afraid, who believes in People First.

Republicans are putting the lives of trans children at risk and getting in the way of families making personal decisions for their own children.
We should be HELPING these kids survive and thrive — but Republicans would prefer to use them as a political prop.

A video arguing that women shouldn’t be able to vote was just shared by Trump’s Secretary of Defense, the guy in charge of our whole military.
And Democratic Party leaders still can’t stand up to this administration?! Our rights are on the line and all our party leaders offer us is silence.

Democrats built their entire party structure on polite deference, seniority, and chasing bipartisanship—as opposed to elevating the most talented and passionate politicians.
...Leaving too many pale, stale (and, frankly, male) lawmakers in prominent positions.

Primary Every Democrat
It’s exhausting to watch poll-tested, donor-beholden congressional Democrats continue to be too old, too cloistered, and too bumbling to do anything as the government burns.

It's not just fdr. One of the things the epa did not long after it was formed was document the nation's pollution via photography. That can seem frivolous, but generations of Americans have no idea why the EPA was necessary. This broke a million views when we published it in 2017

How long until the Library of Congress faces a purge? Should historians be getting what resources they can now? I'm imagining anything related to the civil rights movement, anti-fascism, and even public health could be gone soon.

Elon—the richest man on Earth—is gutting the world’s largest provider of food aid. He could end world hunger single-handedly and still be the richest man alive. But he won’t.
Instead, he spent 40 million on Super Bowl ads attacking USAID!

Aspiration is the answer. Not just “we’re not the bad guys.”
We need something more meaningful than that. I want a future worth fighting for. They have no vision. We do. Lean into our strengths and knock them out. 👊🏽
