Had a wonderful time in the Everglades. An amazing national park.

May the sound of the sea calm your soul.

Make it make sense.

Florida never disappoints with sunsets and crocodile or alligator warnings.

Broccoli from my garden tonight.

At this rate, we’ll be boycotting everything soon, which is a good thing as we’ll all need our savings when they gut SS and Medicare. #boycott #medicareforall #RIPAmerica #RIPdemocracy #teslatakedown #boycottamazon #boycottcoors #boycotteverything

More photos from the Veterans March in Olympia, WA today. The event was organized by my friend Alfie Alvarado, former Director of the Washington State Dept of Veteran Affairs (shown in first photo) 📸Mark Brown

All in the LA burn areas stay safe.

The family wished for professional portraits before he died. I am grateful that we were able to find a volunteer photographer amongst our staff and that the pictures turned out beautiful, but not going to lie, this was really hard. Shared with signed consent. @3wishesprogram.bsky.social

Pinning this.

you’re fired. wait you’re rehired. email us a list of things you’ve done today wait forget it you’re fired again. come back your job was important. you’re fired. or hired. come in to the office. wait the office has no computers go home. we are the department of government efficiency.

VP Vance told businesses today that the solution to tariffs is to move your factories to the U.S. It’s not about fentanyl. Never was. That was a lie for Trump’s illegal use of “national security” to break the Trade Deal HE SIGNED. They’re not even good at lying. No U.S. deal means anything.

Shrimp and grits(not pictured) and home grown broccoli is what’s for dinner.

Someone on this platform recommended this little gem of a book and I thank you.

The first measles death in the US in a decade -- the tragic, preventable death of a child whose parents chose not to protect them with vaccination -- should spark an immediate nation-wide campaign to ensure all children are protected against preventable diseases. Anything less is unconscionable.

Truth. And the truth hurts.

Highly recommend this book.

Mama Bird built her nest even in the rain storms. So now the incubation begins.

White People have no clue white “Hispanics” exist. They think “Hispanic” means non-white and Spanish speaking.

Stay safe in LA especially the burn areas.

Fridays are now ominous days in these United States. You wonder what fresh package of hell would be dropped at close of business. Changes to NIH funding? Medicaid cuts? Every week a different flavor of misery is unlocked.

THIS.

“The Book of Doors” by Gareth Brown is a good weekend read. Will transport your mind for a brief time from today’s troubles.

The most corrupt administration in American history.

MMWR is back online! Let’s hope public health agency comms are fully restored 🤞 www.cdc.gov/mmwr/index.h...

I just joined @drsforamerica.bsky.social, "an organization representing 27,000 physicians & medical students that filed a lawsuit against multiple federal agencies over the removal of public health information & health-related data from gov't websites." So glad to see efforts to fight back. #medsky

The scorched mountains are still beautiful.

If the Treasury Secretary does not remove DOGE’s access to the Treasury payment systems at once: Congress must immediately act. That is why Rep. Jeffries and I will work together on legislation to stop unlawful meddling in the Treasury Department’s payment systems.

According to a senior CDC official, some of the pages that were removed on Friday have been reinstated due to backlash from the scientific community and the public. Keep speaking up, it matters!

NEW: I'm hearing from federal employees that they're being told to file a FOIA request if they want their employee records. Meaning they've been locked out of their records and have to file a Freedom of Information Act Request to get them. If you got this email, please contact me. Signal in bio.

I saw on Google earth today all of the burned homes and businesses in my local Dena communities. It was very sobering and sad.

Must read thread. Seniors, people with disabilities, and families NEED a fully staffed Social Security Administration. Attacks on SSA are attacks on Social Security, and on all current + future beneficiaries.
