This afternoon was a Trump / Vance performance for Putin. They invited President Zelensky to an ambush, and President Zelensky was perfect. He was polite and firm in his position. The US has been severely damaged today.

Back in the early 90s, I went through a time of doubting the safety of vaccines. My pediatrician happened to be the lead doctor in Oregon for studying and promoting vaccine safety and accessibility. I'm grateful to Dr. Dana Nason & wish I could tag him.

As a political scientist who studies countries that managed to stop the slide into authoritarianism, I can assure you that ***refraining from provoking the authoritarian*** is not how it works.

Impassioned plea of the day: Quit using Google as a search engine. Use something that better protects your privacy and then TURN OFF AI in the search results. Tech companies have abandoned net zero carbon goals and the constant use of AI is using tons and tons of water to cool their data centers.

Woo Hoo! Lots of homes and walkability! And if you search for "beautiful apartment towers," this one actually rates a spot.
California and 22nd St, #Denver 80205
A big deal for downtown. 2, 25-story towers w/ 3 ground-floor retail spaces. Would add 657 homes (792 beds) to Five Points, just off Welton St shops. 443 veh and 334 bike parking. Love the color and pedestrian experience. Doubt this breaks ground until mid-2025.
