Yes, Mr. President: You’re right. We do have “the worst health care” of any major country.

Despite spending twice as much per capita, we are the only major country not to guarantee health care to all as a human right.

The solution: Medicare for All.

A black and white cat in a surgical collar stands on its hind legs. An electrical cord runs behind them, ending in an outlet on the wall.

That lamp looks PISSED.

Proud bodega cat, great composition.
I love to see the photographer in the ATM reflection.

Rep. Yassamin Ansari has set up a table and this sign outside Speaker Johnson’s office.

I recommend stopping (disturbing) videos/ GIFs from starting as you scroll.
Choose >Settings, >Content and Media, then de-select >Autoplay. If I want it to play I just have to tap it. Too many 30sec snuff films out there.

Fantastic references, the siren in the background, the "gungh-gungh" orchestra hits. Voted for him the first day of early voting! I think he means it aired during "Law & Order: SVU". Law & Order's not on anymore. Great ad, regardless.

A timeline cleanse. Two hummingbirds taking shelter from the rain inside a rose.

Good night Bluesky.🥰

Chicago Bears Leave Behind $356 Million Stadium Debt as They Ditch City For Chicago, it was bad enough that the Bears are planning to abandon the town they’ve called home for more than a century.

The team is valued at $9B with a "B", their annual budget is $16B. They're screwing the taxpayers out of their last stadium, while demanding free money for their new - $855M in city-paid infrastructure, more. Their condescending offer of $25M exposes their greed. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Right-wing media ramp up anti-Muslim attacks on Zohran Mamdani in the final days of the NYC mayoral election With less than two weeks until the New York City mayoral election, right-wing media have been lobbing anti-Muslim attacks at New York State Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani, baselessly saying his ideolog...

I found an article about Cu0mo slinging Islamophobic attacks, but this Media Matters list was much more illustrative. With too many quotes and plenty of footnotes, this long, offensive, list is typical of our #fascist #USA #white #supremacy. www.mediamatters.org/diversity-di...

Photograph of a two dollar stamp from 1892. Text reads "1492 1892 United States of America 2$ postage two dollars Columbus in chains". The image is a copy of a painting showing Columbus wearing chains, his brothers beside him, in front of a large group, many kneeling. Faded, yellowed paper with red-brown ink.

The US Postal Service issued a commemorative stamp in 1892 depicting Columbus in chains, being returned to Spain for trial. The painting was from 1841, showing his brothers beside him. Every 6 months, one-third of the slaves he forced to work in gold mines, died. postalmuseum.si.edu/object/npm_1...

Christopher Columbus - Wikipedia

Columbus was jailed by Spain for torturing slaves. In the century after he arrived, the Americas indigenous population shrank by 90%. He's the father of the slave trade: The Catholic church was 1st to grant a license to ship African slaves to the Caribbean, in 1501. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christo...

Go to a library, your local bookshop, maybe a Michael's but never a Hobb^ L0bby... I haven't set foot in a Target since they complied in advance and cancelled their DEI - diversity, equity, and inclusion - policies, and neither should you. Even to meet women.

NYC Mayor Eric Adams drops out of race he was never going to win He blamed his decision on negative media coverage and funding issues rather than consistently dismal polling.

I agree w Mother Jones. Send Adams to Istanbul.
(Both Adams & Sliwa will be on the ballot, and will get some votes, so whether or not Sliwa officially quits, Mamdani is our next Mayor. He got the most votes in a primary in NYC history, is campaigning hard...) www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Take your dose of daily fiber
Come squash your desires
Steamed, stiff, and good for you
Let your vegetable medley sing
Get down in a raised bed
Hot pees in a pod

Disney paid $16 million to Trump to settle a bogus lawsuit involving George Stephanopoulos.

Disney fired Terry Moran for calling Stephen Miller a “world-class hater.”

Disney suspended Jimmy Kimmel.

That Disney has walked back one of those after immense public pressure doesn't change who they are.

My father joined Antifa in the 1940s. His well-funded cell was called "The 4th Armored Division, U.S. Army". His anti-fascist soldiers pushed the fascists back out of Normandy, France, in the Battle of the Bulge. After he survived the war (purple heart), he married my mother.

I love the SHOES !

Big Apple Meat Market & Deli (& grocery) is running their sale on half-pies again: $4.99 (their cup-of-pie's usually $3.99 or $4.99). Pecan as usual is a dohlar more.

Firefighters question leaders’ role in Washington immigration raid • Stateline Wildland firefighters were stunned when federal immigration authorities last week raided an active wildfire response in Washington state, arresting two firefighters and sidelining crews for hours.

Leaders sent their blackest & brownest unit to sit in a trap, then helped ICE goons avoid barricades, saying which unmarked roads to take, to find them. The fire was only 13% contained, so their immigration attack definitely affected efforts adversely. stateline.org/2025/08/31/f...

When you have a button with a thread sticking out - my mother taught me this - don't pull it, the button will fall off sooner. Instead, wrap the thread around the base, the button will last longer.

Photo of a spinet piano and piano bench. The lid has been lifted so the keys are visible.

Like this height? They could remove the guts and turn it into a credenza with (silent) keys... Would be lighter weight, too.

I couldn't give away my baby grand from the pink house. Eventually a friend bought it. An upright could be turned into a bar and a credenza by a woodworker, but they have to take out the guts. Wait, does studio upright mean there's no upper half? Then it could be turned into a credenza...

Rainbow crosswalk near Pulse Nightclub in Orlando removed overnight A rainbow-painted crosswalk outside the Pulse nightclub memorial was removed overnight, following a recent directive from the Trump administration.

"FL DOT Paints Over Pulse Crosswalk in the Middle of the Night" cuz they're so proud of what they did. INSTALLED BY THE STATE after our country's largest mass killing at the time, it was painted over by #DearLeader. The cruelty is the point in #fascist #USA. www.clickorlando.com/news/local/2...

New Music from Anti-Fascist Folk Singer Woody Guthrie Released With this reveal of 22 previously unheard songs, the Guthrie family hopes the radical messages in “Woody At Home” will inspire the next generation of protest songwriters.

These new (old) songs *Woody at Home* we've heard before, covered by other artists, & some are v familiar. New tech allowed them to remove hum, isolate tracks, etc. The family's hoping to inspire a new generation of anti-fascist songwriters. #WoodyGuthrie #Deportee inthesetimes.com/article/new-...

A piece of lettuce
Comfy on the carpeting;
No one picks you up.
I wrote a haiku for this lone piece of lettuce sitting on the carpet, seen coming from the cafeteria, right outside the doors to the elevator banks. #lettuce on #comfy #carpet
