On a walk on a rural road in Maine. #BlackLivesMatter #ME2AK #BackEast #BrooklinMaine

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

KTLA: “I have no doubt it’s racially motivated.” A US citizen in the parking lot of a Home Depot was tackled to the ground, detained, locked up for 24 hours for filming ICE smashing a man’s window. He plans to sue. (From @keithboykin)

Sometimes, I have to remind myself that it isn't my responsibility to relieve another person's boredom, entertain others, start the conversation, or feed everyone.

This must be one of those dangerous immigrants I’m supposed to be scared of. Sick and wrong.

Hanging out with my uncle for a bit after my aunt passed. The things you learn from your elders. Did you know they make soup for cats? And the darn cat doesn't even eat the shrimp bits. #CharlieTheCat #Eldercare #ME2AK #BackEast

Of the many actions you could take on the complex issue of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, a simple but collectively powerful one is how you can engage with media reports on #MMIW - especially social media. (1/4)

The $1 billion of school mental health resources that Trump just cut were created by Democrats and Republicans after the horrific school shooting in Uvalde, Texas. These services are saving lives and Trump cut kids off without a second thought. It’s disgraceful. This funding must be restored.

I was trying to catch a spider with a cup so I could release it outside. It ran into the sink. I looked and looked and couldn't find it. "Damn you, spider! I was trying to save you!" I found the spider in the cup! It now resides on our back deck. (Or, more likely, under the deck.) #SpiderStory

Despite knowing the people on the search warrant weren't there, the ICE arrest team STILL took this family's phones, laptops, and life savings — and refused to leave a BUSINESS CARD so they could ask to get it back! This stuff is sadly not unique to ICE; it happens with regular police raids too.

This is what a rigged economy looks like: In the 1970s, CEOs made 27 times more than the average worker. In the 1980s, CEOs made 48 times more than the average worker. This decade, CEOs are making 354 times more than the average worker. That has got to change.

Now that I got dressed, ate breakfast, brushed teeth, reheated coffee, posted about Earth Day, figured out GCI is down, found offline version of WIP, re-paired Bluetooth keyboard, found editing notes, and posted on Bluesky, I'm reading to write. #AmWriting #SetTimer #TikisZeal

Gov waste DOGE-style: A family member works logistics for co w/ NOAA/NWS contract to fly weather monitoring equip to remote spots in AK. Contract terminated w/out notice so taxpayer-purchased equipment languishing in hangar, unused & unclaimed. It'll likely end up abandoned goods & sold as scrap.
