How many train wrecks do we have to survive before we pull our heads out of our collective asses and let women run this country? They called it from day one.

We’ve faced a ridiculous amount of lies that there’s no structural or systemic racism in America. This book documents the scale of the racial wealth gap, how it happens, & reasons why this is a terrible burden for everyone who cares about equality and justice. www.americaamerica.news/p/plundering...

We have a Sandhill Crane on a nest! Hopefully all goes well and we will have little fuzzy colts—"colts" are what young Sandhill Cranes are called due to their long legs—come early May.

This great egret was just landing at this moment. I tracked it all the way in. Their wings seem so complex and oversized when photographed like this. They are so elegant in flight. #photography #birds #wildlife #wildlifephotography #EastCoastKin

My gynecologist when I was living in Germany had exclusively Gustav Klimt art throughout his office but once inside the exam room, the Klimt stopped, & instead there was a 6ftx6ft painting that he made himself of uteruses flying through space. That was 12 years ago but I think about him once a week.

When this piece was made last year, I thought it was, you know, pretty clever. Now, I think it might be one of the most important pieces of the decade.

Trump’s latest Social Security plan is a bait-and-switch: short-term gains for the wealthy, long-term benefit cuts for future generations. Do not fall for it.

One of the appalling things that will stick with me? The Republicans’ laughter, “showcasing their cruelty and hostility toward people who are different than them. They are now in power, free to revel in their bigotry, free to engage in easy humiliation and hate.” open.substack.com/pub/america/...

Elon Musk is coming after Social Security next, calling it “the biggest Ponzi scheme of all time.” This is total nonsense — it underlines his rejection of the idea that we deserve the benefits we’ve paid into for our entire lives! SIGN HERE to demand Congress stop Musk and protect Social Security!👇

Starting this week, we’ll all pay more at the store because of the Trump tariffs, even while he’s finalizing a multi-trillion-dollar tax cut for the wealthy. All the bluster is meant to get us talking about literally anything else.
