Waking up to dew points in the 50’s and temps staying near 60F on Cape Ann. Oh blessed relief!!!

I joined governors from across the country to discuss how the Big Beautiful Betrayal takes food away from millions of families, blows a hole in state budgets, and undercuts our farmers and independent grocers. When the American people learn what’s in the bill, they don’t like it.

From #AHAPerspectives in 2022: In 1970, US Air Force nurse Susan Struck had to choose between an abortion or losing her job. @karadixonvuic.bsky.social writes about how including the military in our histories of abortion complicate the story of "choice" today. 🗃️

On June 24, 1932, Amelia Earhart became the first woman awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross. The honor recognized her historic solo transatlantic flight, cementing her as a global aviation icon and symbol of women’s achievement. #StayCurious #Skystorians #DiveIntoDiscovery

A worthy read

Carlotta Maury bucked social norms as a paleontologist: a PhD by 1902, field work in southern US, Caribbean, S. Africa, and W. Europe, her own expedition to the Dominican Republic, one of the 1st women to become deeply involved in oil exploration. ⚒️🧪 www.geological-digressions.com/carlotta-mau...

“We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light.” ― Plato

The images coming from the Vera C. Rubin Observatory are incredible, expanding our knowledge of the distant cosmos. While the current Administration tries to erase the contributions of women in their respective fields, we must continue to recognize and share their pivotal accomplishments.

Who needs oxygen, or organic carbon cleansing or natural habitats or just some damn places that don’t reek of the Chief Bloviator 24/7 365. I weep.

Women seek peace on any world stage ☯️☮️

I loved her role on The Waltons. She brought grace and dignity to all of her work. May you rest in peace 🙏🏻

Wonderful composition and light

I love the blues in this piece. The world as born on the back of the turtle.

Summer’s beauty, and a golden hour swim.

A sculptor whose work deserves much wider recognition.

Beautiful work

Rational, level headed, patriotic, a unifier….🇺🇸

Getting a RealID in this big brother climate provokes deep anxiety. How tragic that 3 short months into this administration, they WANT us that way. Remember: this began to prevent foreign terrorism after 9/11. Now elected (and non) domestic leaders foment destruction & chaos by signed orders.

They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made. -FS Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby, published 4/10/1925.

My zone is a month away from this. How beautiful.

Two words. Insider trading.

Somehow he will find a way to twist this around so that he always had this plan in mind. No. Markets decimating and his billionaire buddies getting trounced in said markets pulled him back. I do agree with negotiating a better trade deal with China; I will always be honest.

Social Security WORKS because over 99% of all payments are made accurately and on time.

This. We didn’t have to be in this state of chaos. 🇺🇸 The best economists were correct.

Brilliance shines yet again…

Yes!!

Happy Friday! Here’s a happy place of mine on Lake Champlain. In not so many weeks it will be this green here again. 🌱 #Vermont #scape #photography

I love her fire. She’s part of a strong Democratic message. We will not accept a billionaire ruling elite in place of our democracy. #HandsOff

Agreed!!! 🇺🇸

I was able to catch the cherry trees blossoming once on a trip to visit family. They were a burst of glorious color.

The hits just keep piling up.

April 5th is fast approaching. Join us on Boston Common or your nearest rally location. We reject oligarchs and fascists trying to dismantle our government. No one should have the power to buy the Presidency!!!! #HandsOff

Never give in to the idea that your decision of where to spend your hard earned dollars wouldn’t matter in the big pictures. Money and greed seems the only language that breaks through to the top. Keep it up folks. We all play a role!! 💪🏼🇺🇸
