Samuel Autman

59 rotations around the sun. Thank goodness for a small tight circle in Greencastle to celebrate with, and wine shipped in from Napa Valley. It was a birthday to remember!

📌Poverty is not a crime;
📌Slavery was a disgrace to America;
📌Hitler was a monster who murdered millions;
📌Free speech is a constitutional right;
📌Immigrants built this country;
📌Brown, Black, White, we all bleed the same color;
📌Release the Epstein files!

Things you'll never hear from the GOP.

We had another glorious experience @kimbiliofiction.com this time in the dazzling, sometimes foggy mountains of North Carolina. My summer is complete!

It's always hard to describe my experiences at @kimbiliofiction.com. The way the dusk light falls over the backdrop at Wild Acres Retreat here in Little Switzerland, N.C., captures it with a handful of my fellow Kimbees in a circle, enjoying one another's presence. #kimbilioretreat2025

And there it is.

This is Utah in case anyone’s wondering how pissed off people are. I have never seen anything like this.

Japanese American National Museum takes a stand against DOGE cuts to NEH The National Endowment for the Humanities warned museums across the country that it was slashing funding, including money previously pledged to places such as LACMA and the Japanese American National ...

Can we get more of this? “The Japanese American National Museum will ‘scrub nothing,’ Fujioka said, and instead will highlight the importance of DEI.

“Our community is based on diversity, equity is guaranteed to us in the Constitution, and inclusion is what we believe in,” Fujioka said.

Well. That’s that for Columbia. What a travesty. I don’t see how faculty or students stay under these conditions.

Bernie Sanders Is Showing Democrats How It’s Done The Vermont senator is taking his anti-Trump tour to red America—and it’s a smash hit.

"By rejecting passivity, Sanders is also doing more to actually put Republicans—who’ve recently been ordered to abandon town halls in the wake of mounting anger from their own voters—under pressure."

Please never forget this!!

This man didn't just read, he delivered!!!

Popular meme format, grandma labeled with "bluesky's public launch was one year ago today." Younger person helping her labeled with "sure grandma let's get you to bed."

happy first birthday to Bluesky, and what a year it's been!

Mike Johnson is beyond pathetic. Blaming Dems for Republican failures. He just needs to stop taking his orders from President-Elect Musk. Pass the original bill.

Bluesky has overtaken both Instagram and Twitter for the FIRST time.

European Federation of Journalists to stop posting content on X The EFJ represents over 295,000 journalists in 44 countries.

"We cannot continue to participate in the social network feed of a man who proclaims the death of the media and therefore of journalists... X is a platform that no longer serves the public interest at all, but the special ideological and financial interests of its owner and his political allies"
