Full moon rising in my backyard, with tree branches in the foreground

I’m sure I’ll never quite get the hang of photographing the moon—especially with just an iPhone—but this view was too good not to try and capture it.

Let's start this week with this beautiful quote "Every one of us has the potential to get a message out, or to collaborate together to help make the world better." — Misha Collins 💙

I am constantly astonished that people are just letting him do all this shit. Why hasn’t he been removed from office?? He is a clear and present danger!

@duckworth.senate.gov you are one of the few voices of reason left out there. How can we stop this??

Is ANYBODY in Washington paying attention to this shit? *thumps mic* HELLO? IS THIS THING ON?

As you know, SNAP runs out by November 1. Children and families will go hungry, of course, but it harms the agricultural sector too. Impeachment is critical for the future well being of us all: rural or urban, farmer or office worker. Reach out to your neighbors. Normalize impeachment.

We need to treat this like the emergency that it is.

Congress could end this at any time.

To paraphrase Rep. Al Green, we have the way. We just need the will.

Call your representative today. Demand impeachment. Don't accept excuses or obfuscation. It's not complicated.

Worth remembering…

I’m really tired of the political theater. Both sides of the aisle are claiming that the other side is “inflicting maximum pain” to accomplish their goals. Neither side is doing the work that benefits the American people. This has to stop.

Why Is Trump Autocracy Rising? These Dems Have an Unnerving Answer. A new Biden administration autopsy, based on internal assessments from many government insiders, has crystal clear lessons for the future.

SCOOP --> Major new Bidenworld autopsy just dropped: 45 former Biden officials candidly assess their mistakes and failings in new Roosevelt Institute report. They lay out the beginnings of a Project 2029 agenda to reverse authoritarian tide.

I have a very bad feeling about this...

I’m self-employed in Illinois, where at least Governor Pritzker is trying to get us help with insurance premiums. I ran an estimate on our premiums for next year and the cost was seven times higher than what we are currently paying.

Enrollment opens Nov. 1, so this is just an estimate. But also, there was only one insurance company to pull rates from, and their coverage didn’t include 1) all of my meds or 2) any of my care team. Just trying not to panic for now but FUCK.

Top Democrat Cheers Americans’ Suffering as “Leverage” in Their Sick Political Game Americans’ pain is Democrats’ leverage, according to Rep. Katherine Clark, the number two House Democrat: “There will be families that are going to

So, I did a quick search for that "inflict maximum pain" bit, and this is what I found. On the White House website. www.whitehouse.gov/articles/202...

Really hoping the "estimates" for 2026 Illinois health care premiums are massively inflated for whatever reason. My estimate for next year's premiums--with no changes to my family or income--was SEVEN TIMES HIGHER than what I'm paying now.

My first thought exactly.

Unveiled Today: The First Politically Viable Wealth Tax - The American Prospect A proposed 2026 California ballot measure would tax billionaires’ fortunes to fund imperiled health access for 15 million state Medicaid recipients. The spillover effects of its presence on the midter...

I’ve already seen financial planners bemoaning the work that will have to be done to properly assess this tax, and I am unsympathetic. If you are wealthy enough to be affected by this tax, you should have to do a little work. I love this idea. prospect.org/2025/10/23/u...

“Who cares?” The New York Times reported today that President Trump’s official response to the millions of people protesting yesterday was simply, “Who cares?” And I can’t think of a more succinct way to encapsula...

My thoughts on leadership.

Tell me again why we marched yesterday. We cannot let this continue.

Also, “50%” have “almost” used that? Boy, he really does love the uneducated.

Today’s No Kings protest could be the largest single-day protest in U.S. history.

People have power.

somewhere in portland, there's one person, or a small handful of people, who came up with the inflatable costume idea, and I feel like they deserve our immense respect for defining the obvious developing aesthetic of the contemporary battle against fascism

The GOP called protestors "terrorists" and "Marxists" and that didn't stop retired moderates in small towns from coming out today dressed in frog costumes because they're tired of this obvious bullshit.

Two million more than in June. Seven million total.

The GOP should be very worried.

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

(around an image of the No Kings logo) IT’S OFFICIAL Nearly 7 million people have attended today's peaceful protests, which makes No Kings Day the biggest single-day protest against tyranny in American history! With more than 2,700 lawful and peaceful protests across all 50 states, No Kings Day was 14 times larger than both of Trump's presidential inaugurations (combined).

After a week of ridiculous Republican smears and Trump claiming that “very few people are going to be there,” you just made history. #NoKings

WOW! Protesters created a HUGE human sign on San Francisco’s Ocean Beach reading “No Kings YES on 50” to support California’s Prop 50 and stand up against Donald Trump’s fascist regime

Great crowd in Urbana today! #NoKings
