NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it.

My last Mystic Lake swim of 2025. I have never swam in October, but I had to take advantage of the 80 degree day.

On it! Thanks for posting!

An intriguing call for “soft secession.”

Consider the Transportation Research Board, to a large degree funded by state DOTs. The TRB bent the knee to Trump, cancelling dozens of research projects on equity & the environment.

Agree, I am reading this now.

Once again I would love for the Democratic party to articulate a long term plan beyond "hide under some coats until he dies and hope everything turns out ok"

When injustice becomes law, resistance becomes duty.

Totally have changed to a "no top sheet" person within the last year.

Insisting on this as a tag line for any campaign I work on.

This is just so damn good.

This morning - was pretty angry that the 77 bus wasn't coming for 30 mins, but, while I was walking down Mass Ave, I managed to see a bald eagle 🦅 so...day made!

Help prove RFK Jr. is wrong. When @wyden.senate.gov said thousands of scientists told him they’re concerned about RFK’s policies, RFK said, “I’ll put my mailbag against your mailbag any day.” Oh yeah? Fill that mailbag and millions more. #publichealth www.defendpublichealth.org/campaign/hel...

My friends know that there's nothing I love more than political campaigns and oysters.

Attended a gathering for @grahamformaine.bsky.social. He’s a charismatic, authentic speaker, and who leads with his working class values. Impressed, the real deal.

Hey, I can tell how tired you are and I am really glad it feels safe for you to post here. Hoping your feet are up and you can rest for the night.

Hey there, I am the first person to say I don't have answers, I just want to support you in whatever you chose to do, and hope you get some personal "down time". And I totally get how grueling retail is.

Huge no to okra. You can not disguise it in gumbo, you can not disguise when it is fried, you can not disguise it as a pickle. Just no, ffs.
