First serious #RunningPunks snow of the year to make the running path look great. Great company as we broke down how Thanksgivings went, what the book clubs were reading, and how delayed all travel would be and why.
Take care, y’all.

This week: The fascist administration has been harassing Sen Mark Kelly of Arizona with threats of court martial and accusations of treason for joining in a video reminding military personnel that it’s their duty not to execute illegal orders; restating the basics of their oaths.

Just listened to Cold War Santa. Loved it. Another lesser considered source of a closer look a post WWII consumerism is (believe it or not) the musical Little Shop of Horrors? Written in 1982.

The US government is now investigating duly elected Democratic Senators for reminding military servicepeople that they should follow the law.

Let’s be real. This isn’t only about threatening Mark Kelly with court martial. It’s to remind those serving to be loyal to a fascist tyrant.

@andrear9md.bsky.social A riff on chicken piccata based on what was within arm’s reach. (It’s always fun to get out the mallet.) Mixed tastes in the audience so capers on the side. Pearled couscous as a helper. Take care.

VACCINES DO NOT CAUSE AUTISM, YOU FLAMING SHITBIRDS.

THE LAST TIME HHS, AS CURRENTLY OCCUPIED BY RFK JR., CONDUCTED A “COMPREHENSIVE ASSESSMENT” OF THE CAUSES OF AUTISM THEY BLAMED TYLENOL AND THEN, BECAUSE IT WAS BULLSHIT, HAD TO WALK IT BACK.

There's a lot we have not visualized in a useful way.

One of the big ones is the SHIFT in govt employment from "people who cure cancer" and "people who make sure your Social Security comes on time" and "people who care for veterans" to "people who kidnap your neighbors."

The Regime continues its attacks on public health.

The Department of Education has preliminarily concluded that public health degrees—MPH and DrPH—should not be considered professional degrees.

If it stands, it will result in significantly fewer funding opportunities for public health students.

I had the opportunity to review the work experience and skills of numerous people who were laid off or fired from public health jobs by Donald Trump.

I want every taxpayer to know that the US has lost an immeasurable number of the smartest, most experienced, and hardworking people on the planet.

ICE has attacked young, old, anyone who they don't like their looks, and citizens!

What happens is often beyond what law enforcement is required to do

Lawsuits should follow from everyone who was kidnapped, taken from familiar surroundings and suffered

Not normal

Consequences are needed

This morning was the Indianapolis Monumental #RunningPunks Marathon. (My participation was in question earlier in the week.) The weather cooperated (cool) and the crowd here was super great ; my slow race gave me a lot of time to appreciate them. Every finish is a win.
