To our Democratic Legislators, THANK YOU!
From the Millionaires Tax to unmasking ICE agents, you have demonstrated what it means to stand up for fairness, transparency, and working families.

Bottom 1/2 of the photo is dense forest viewed from above. A few lines of open farm fields turn again to forest, before open water. The other side of the water has numerous forested ridges, culminating in snow capped mountains on the very distant horizon. The top 1/3 of the photo is open sky with a few wisps of clouds and some haze in places.

A #ThrowbackThursday 9 o'clock photo, in which I post something formerly tweeted at the other place.
29 October 2023 had this wonderful view looking east towards the Cascades from the Mt Grant Preserve on San Juan Island.

I’m an NIH whistleblower. The scientific community cannot afford to avoid politics “Scientists are often encouraged to avoid politics. But this advice is outdated, if it was ever correct in the first place,” writes Jenna Norton, NIH whistleblower.

Everybody should know who @jenna-m-norton.bsky.social is.
In this day and age it is more risky to keep your head down than to be the whistleblower that we needs.

Right now, being called "a radical leftist" is a badge of honor. And imperative.

Watch this clip.

Professors will recognize this kid as the student who didn't do the reading but still has very strong opinions about how it's all "bullshit," except this time he's not the callow student who's going to fail your course, he's the reviewer who's going to cancel your grant.

A bright yellow early model Volkswagen Beetle has the entire front end filled with succulent plants.

Suppose you wanted a planter box, but you wanted it to be easily portable?
One solution to that, I suppose, is featured in tonight's 9 o'clock photo.

Quietly, calmly and forensically, BBC just dismantled the Trump communications shitshow on Iran.

No hyperbole, just laying out an unprecedented military, diplomatic and reputational shambles.

Worth a watch.
