America was given a choice between a lawless, amoral monster and a qualified, intelligent, joyful woman of color—and it chose the monster. We need to reckon with the reality of what that says about so many of us here.

This pic of mine is currently on display in the Australian Embassy in Berlin as part of the 'Climate Change in Focus' exhibition. Just heard that some photos will be removed once the election is called for reasons of "political sensitivities". Yeah, let's pretend that climate change isn't a thing.

300 babies. That’s how many now have HIV because Elon Musk’s DOGE froze USAID’s lifesaving HIV/AIDS programs. Workers can’t distribute meds. Babies can’t get treatment. And Musk? He’s bragging about “feeding USAID into the wood chipper.”

Pam Bondi isn’t after justice—she’s after state-sanctioned revenge. Biden commuted 37 death sentences to life without parole, a punishment that ensures they’ll never be free. Now she’s trying to override a lawful commutation to reinstate executions. This isn’t justice. It’s cruelty and theater.

The entire MAGA Playbook is to provoke a reaction and then claim the victims or too sensitive (snowflakes) or it was a joke. Rather than be outraged, don’t take the bait and simply laugh in their faces for being the stupid little bullies that they are. They can’t lead. They can only oppose.

Water is becoming a major issue in the Southern California fires.
As crews battled the wildfire in Pacific Palisades, they put so much strain on the water system that the fire hydrants ran dry.
The fires have also fed ash into the water supply, leading to a boil order notice.

The key to economic growth isn’t tax cuts for the wealthy. The secret to prosperity is investment in American workers.
When workers have more to spend, the economy grows, and businesses create more jobs.
It’s a virtuous cycle.

They’re planning a heist in plain sight.

Donald Trump attempted a coup on January 6th
Using phony claims of fraud
Fake electors
And culminating in the assault on the Capitol-which injured 140 cops
The notion of pardoning insurrectionists
And prosecuting members of Congress-because they exposed his misdeeds
Is thoroughly perverse
