Sound like anyone? Someone in the news perpetually perhaps? medicalxpress.com/news/2025-06...

"Democracy's not self-executing." --Barack Obama, in an interview with Heather Cox Richardson about the current state of the United States (I recommend listening to the entire interview, beyond the brief clip below.) youtu.be/yG8hTXcKb4I?...

Bibi is a war criminal and should never have been voted back into office. Exactly like Trump. And the entire world suffers as a result.

The Oregon coast. πŸ₯°

Got to see William Shatner and Neil deGrasse Tyson on Wednesday night. πŸ₯° Shatner is 94 years old now but he just got back from a trip to Antarctica and went into space not long ago. πŸ™† It was really wonderful listening to them talk about their lives and careers and science. ❀️

Do. Not. Vote. For. Sociopaths.

The lack of compassion resonates with MAGA. That's at the foundation of what the rest of us are facing, because Trump won't be around forever--the monstrous lack of compassion and perspective of his followers, and the media avenues reaponsible for them becoming that way--will remain. Tragically.

One authoritarian (Bibi) has run head first into the schemes of another (Putin) while a third (Trump) tries to be besties with them both. And the rest of us watch the world burn. πŸ˜”

I know this won't shock you. But it should. Americans voted for this man, multiple times. THAT'S the scale of the obstacle we face

It's not a bug for the administration, it's a feature. πŸ˜‘ If Democrats are targetted, it helps instill fear; if MAGA is targetted, it provides legitimacy to their claims of lawlessness and violence from the left. Either way, they benefit.

Anyone who thought Bibi was going to ever leave power wasn't paying close attention, and his plan to remain in power is to keep Israel at war for the rest of his life. Human beings, as a species, need to stop allowing sociopaths like this to get into power.

"So what're your kids doing while you're out here defending democracy?" --overheard at the Seattle No Kings protest of June 14th, 2025.

@expatalways.bsky.social and I were among the 70,000+ people who protested peacefully in Seattle and the millions nationwide.

Estimates are over 70,000 people marched in Seattle! www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

Tragic. And it shouldn't surprise anyone.

Gov. Tim Walz says Democratic Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband were shot and killed last night in β€œa political assassination.”

Anyone who is outraged that the administration treated a member of Congress like dirt hasn't been paying attention, because they treat everyone like that. I'm more outraged that it takes stuff like this for centrist Democrats to develop a spine, but better late than never.

My fiance and I will be making our voices heard on June 14th. No kings.

The current administration believes that it isn't undermining science quickly enough.

All an excuse to declare martial law. This was as easy to see incoming as the sun rising each dawn. It's Authoritarianism 101.

Stephen Miller described the LA protests as a "violent insurrection" which is two things: 1] a lie, and 2] the pretext for declaring martial law. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

They can use that data for a variety of reasons, none of them good for Americans. Witness: Cambridge Analytica.
