At Dem Party of York County PA HQ for 2026 candidate petition signing

Stopping in to my Democratic Party of York County PA HQ today, for this election cycle's day 1 of petition signing to get our candidates on the ballot. Great way to generate momentum for our favorite current and future elected representatives! The office is open special late hours this evening too.

Bad Bunny, MPLS, and the ‘neighborism’ saving America | Will Bunch Newsletter Plus, the word of the year for 2026 is the f-bomb.

How did Bad Bunny utter not one word about Trump or authoritarianism at the Super Bowl yet deliver the most power message in 60 years of the game?

No Kings March 28 event announcement

On March 28, per @indivisible.org and the many other #NoKings organizers, there will be “more protests in more places than at any other point in the nation's history.”
See you all out there somewhere -- and of course, meanwhile, contributing to the cause in many other ways!

YouTube video by Physicians Committee Dietary Guidelines Backed By Poor Science, Millions of Industry Dollars

The @pcrm.org has petitioned HHS and USDA to withdraw new Dietary Guidelines over unlawful influence from meat & dairy industries.

PCRM’s legal action in 1999 successfully limited industry influence for a quarter century. I’m rooting for another successful legal fight!

- This was the 2nd or 3rd such event at this location in less than a week.

- There were numerous sister events happening within an hour’s drive.

- The weather was 🥶.

I was also encouraged by the volume of friendly honks from drivers crossing the square — 80%, I’d guesstimate!

America We're Better Than This! sign for ICE Out for Good protest

ICE Out for Good protest - York PA, Jan 11, 2026

My sign for today’s “ICE Out For Good” at the York City, PA Continental Square, and a couple photos of the event.

I was encouraged to see ~ 200 fellow humans there, especially considering:

- 47 won this county with 62% of the vote in Nov 2024....

The new Dietary Guidelines include progress but still reflect industry influence.

They promote meat and dairy linked to chronic disease instead of clearly prioritizing plant-based nutrition.

Science should lead nutrition policy.

We have not forgotten Mr. Perry's complicity in the events around the Jan 6 2021 attack, nor have we forgotten that he was the only PA member of Congress to oppose awarding medals to officers who defended the Capitol.

Ha! Two can play at that game. One of our members promptly called the local police herself, and they promptly dispatched an officer to escort our representatives into the building to deliver our letters....

Then a @pa10dn.bsky.social action at our US House "representative" Scott Perry's Mechanicsburg office. Sixty of us -- mostly retirees -- came with letters to deliver to Perry's taxpayer-funded office. A building staffer barred our entrance, saying "we have the police on standby." ....

Exposés and Undercover Investigations | PETA PETA entities' undercover investigations expose animal abuse in laboratories, food production, the clothing industry, the pet trade, and more

The Greg Fund made a grant to support this work in 2025, as in many previous years. More at: www.peta.org/investigatio...

These PETA investigations have led to numerous cruelty-to-animals convictions, while the farms have removed false “humane” claims from their advertising language, and lost the business of major supermarket chains.

PETA investigators have revealed cruelty and unsanitary conditions at turkey supplier Plainville Farms in Pennsylvania, Oakridge Dairy in Connecticut, Farmer Focus chicken company in Virginia, Grand Barr goat dairy in Oregon, and many others.
