I'm voting NO on the Republican shutdown bill.
NO on handing Donald Trump and Elon Musk a blank check to spend your taxpayer money however they want.
NO on cutting funding that helps families put food on the table and crack down on wealthy tax cheats.
We need to push back.

Looking for an alternative to Amazon Kindle? Try Kobo. I’ve used it since the pandemic. Can use their app on any device and they have a huge library. It’s owned by Rakuten, a Japanese company, not by Bezos.

Feeling heartbroken. The City of Revere lost three daughters this week, one a former student of mine. Found dead in a hotel room in Belize. I cannot imagine the grief of their parents.

If I could be someone from the past it might be Ed Ricketts, except the getting killed by a train bit. Biologist, ecologist, philosopher, admirer of working people and of women. Steinbeck said “his face is half Christ and half satyr and his face tells the truth."
