From the folks at Grateful Living: "In a time of destruction, create something. A poem. A parade. A community. A school. A vow. A moral principle. One peaceful moment." ~ MAXINE HONG KINGSTON Reminds me of "Living well is the best revenge." Agreed. Build community. Give someone joy, or direction.

"Brooke Nichols, an associate professor of global health at Boston University, has estimated that these cuts have already resulted in about 300,000 deaths, most of them of children, and will most likely lead to significantly more by the end of the year."

ummmmm...fake sources, mischaracterization of findings, made up research studies doesn't sound like "Gold Standard Science" to us. But what do we know? We are just a lowly, grassroots community of the world's leading scientists. 🐸☕ #foolsgoldscience #standupforsciece www.notus.org/health-scien...

Elon's legacy ranges from gutting cancer research to setting in motion millions of deaths from starvation or disease. I'll be pushing for Congress to hold Elon & DOGE accountable—for every act of corruption, every disastrous consequence, and every law they have broken.

Google AI seems to have trouble with math, and dates.

I wish our side talked more about the nation we would create, given the chance. We could use the practice. And what you don't see you can't steer toward. Talking always about T makes us fatally myopic. You begin to wonder if we still have any vision at all (that doesn't start with reference to T).

substack.com/home/post/p-... A friend often talks about “dropping a bomb on your life.” It’s not recklessness – though others may see it as that (but they see ANY change as that.) It’s using your deepest values, together with the realization that you have ONE life, as your plumb line.

Justin Foster comes with receipts. The GOP is anti-hemp, anti-independent bookstores, and more. Dems need to be figuring out how to save these businesses NOW, and talking with owners and employees. Don't be asking for their votes; solve their immediate problems. substack.com/@fosterthink...

One of the themes on which Democrats might think of running is care of our children, from vaccines to education to climate change.

Wild idea: any Democrat thinking of running for POTUS should talk with liberal European and Canadian allies, and ask what they think a Dem platform should be. Go big or stay home. Forget playing to the middle.

Huge, horrifying story.

vocal opposition to democratic gerontocracy is nifty because it serves a constructive purpose — passing the torch — and a political one: signaling independence from The Democrats.

TACO is a weapon. It's simple, meme-able, organic. It's both a defiance and a provocation. Put it on red hats and stickers in the MAGA font. Make it hurt. www.thebulwark.com/p/community-...

A village in Switzerland is buried, and Western Canada is one big blaze. Trump and the GOP are deniers, and US Dems are distracted by every breath he takes. World leaders need to declare a state of emergency and get on this crisis. The US has abdicated: show us the way. youtu.be/Cqc6LUgatpg?...

I agree. I like so much of what Biden did, but this was the big swing that he whiffed on – and that many online said we just had to be patient and wait for, as they built a case against Trump. The case was never built, and once again the big fish were allowed to get away. "A nation of laws" my ass.

The best response is not to amplify her. If you want to address the issue – is science a cult? Are science and religion compatible? Similar? Etc. – by all means, have at it. Better minds than yours and mine have done so, because it's a common query. Maybe she'll run across it and learn something.

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security.    Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.   Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

Dr Annie Andrews is a great person. I had the pleasure of working with her for many years and have the honor of calling her a friend. So, not only do we have the chance to rid ourselves of Lindsay Graham, but we can also do so with a fantastic alternative! #fdt #voteblue #democracy

These are absolutely dazzling in their attention to detail, and the good doctor’s description of the flavors makes me want to find a better baker than we have in town. A unique, exquisite art form.

Kilmar and Andry, et al, are still not home. Putin, Netanyahu, and Trump still walk free, as if they are pillars of their communities, and not mass murderers. Climate change marches on. But still there is music.
