This man reminded us to laugh.
With humor at times subtle, sometimes refreshingly honest and basic.
His work was a reminder of our shared humanity and was always a welcome salve
Our tears today are how we recognize & give thanks for someone who just made our lives better.

RFK Jr. is returning us to a simpler time in America.
Sun-dappled summer days, complete with ice cream, sand lot baseball and Polio.
Cheerful carols about the bright red Christmas colors of Measles lesions.
The year-round amber glow of our skin as Hepatitis ravaged our livers.
Good times.

I've had a missile blow up next to my airplane, been shot at dozens of times by anti-aircraft fire, and launched into orbit — all for my country. I never thought I'd see a President call for my execution.
Trump doesn’t understand the Constitution, and we're all less safe for it.

Each of these pictures captures an act of flag desecration according to the US Flag Code. Yet for some reason, there's no #MAGA outrage associated with any of these violations.

Trump unconstitutional executive order is attempting to outlaw flag burning.
Trump's order says "Desecrating it is uniquely offensive and provocative. It is a statement of contempt, hostility and violence against our nation"
Hmmm.

At the PolluterPage, when it’s tax support for clean energy, it’s a subsidy; when it’s tax support for R&D, it’s a good thing; when it’s the biggest subsidy on Earth — $700 billion a year to subsidize fossil fuel’s free-to-pollute business model — it’s crickets.
