The Empire State Building flanked by two buildings, under a broken cloudy sky.

Sometimes you just gotta look up and marvel about the things that human beings have built together.

Here's the #BeaverMoon from tonight, the last #SuperMoon of 2025. Shot from La Cumbre Peak, above #SantaBarbara.

Hey American friends. Hope you're feeling a bit better than you have since the Tuesday after the first Monday of last November. The roadmap has been revealed. Your path may be uphill but the wind is at your back. If you work hard for one year starting 11/05/25 you can stop him. Get involved.

AOC: We have a future to fight for, and we're either going to do that together or you're going to be left behind. It's not about Progressive. It's not moderate, it's not liberal. This is about do you understand the assignment of fighting fascism right now? And the assignment is you come together…

Really looking forward to the Speaker of the House claiming to be unaware of the election results.

Turns out that voters don't like the party that invades them, starves them, and arrests them.

I forgot the settings on the last #FullMoon post. Here's a slightly different version though.

Tonight, California made it clear: we’re taking back our voice and democracy.

Here’s to proof that when we act together, we win.

AOC: I have to tell you, in my traveling across the country, I am hearing and have been seeing consistent things from everyday people. And it is that they are terrified, they are frustrated, they are angry, and they are shocked by a president violating the values that we hold dear

The Monarch butterflies (Danaus plexippus) have mostly moved on towards their final destination. Only a few stragglers are left like this one clinging to the flower of a Gregg's Mistflower (Conoclinium greggii).

Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

Fantastic 😍🤩!!

Snuck out for a quick photo of tonight's hazy full Moon in #SantaBarbara right before #Mamdani took the stage. Good thing I did then too because I can barely see it now!
What an incredible day this has been!

The oligarchy came out in full force against Zohran Mamdani's fight for a more affordable NYC.

It didn't matter.

Let his victory in the face of Big Money serve as a reminder that people have the power.

curious to know what ways other folks are helping while SNAP benefits are suspended.

i set up a monthly donation to the Utah Food Bank today as that was one of the places that helped my family through some rough times. i may see if i can volunteer a bit of time, too.

i can't stand for this.

That's a great shot! I love love the moon 😍

Picture of the moon.

The moon is quite spectacular tonight - and took this with my iPhone - amazing.

The new surprising voice of reason??

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene says she plans to read names from the Epstein list on the House floor, where members are protected from lawsuits for what they say during official sessions.

Say what you want about Dick Cheney but he raised a daughter who stood up when it mattered.

❤️‍🩹we will get through this and be better!🗽

Courage starts with three words: “Not this time.”

Noooo. Whyyyy??

Cool!!! The Ironworkers Union has come out against ICE

Gavin Newsom: These guys are not screwing around. They're surgical. They want to roll back all of the progress in the last half century. But you're seeing people wake up everywhere. 7 million of you showed up. No crowns, no thrones, no kings.
