Mostly retired hockey nut, gardening, hiking, biking, music, and exploring the outdoors are my hobbies. Social justice, climate change, and working to lessen food insecurity are my causes. You get what you give and we all need to give more.

Remember Rosie the Riveter? She’s thriving in Ukraine.

This is really something

So. It has officially happened. I have been officially let go from my position at CDC. I wasn’t a probationary employee. I had stellar performance reviews every year. I’ll be ok. But please understand that many worked HARD to get into these positions and were doing great public health work.

No, but if you’re looking for one, I am aware of a guy you work with that was indicted four times and convicted of thirty-four felonies.

The National Park Service fired many of its park rangers as part of a reduction in the federal work force. Some rangers decided it was worth the risk to speak out online about the cuts and share their love of the Park Service. “It’s scary, but it was the right thing to do.”

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage.

FACTS👇

Blumenthal: "What world is he living in? It is not only contrary to the facts and the truth but utterly despicable. A disgusting betrayal of a country that has bled and fought and died for freedom ... the president's surrender is pathetic and weak."

Whatever else emerges in time about the Delta crash in Canada, one thing is certain: the importance & amazing professionalism of flight attendants who safely evacuated the plane in a matter of seconds.

nytimes.com/2025/02/08/opi… “They don’t care if the government delivers food or rescues your town from a flood or teaches poor kids in the inner city because they don’t have to live through any of that themselves. They’re rich and powerful, so they’re insulated from consequences of their actions.”

Marco Rubio's collaboration with Russia's Sergei Lavrov and Putin is one of the most disgusting acts of betrayal to democracy and our nation. Rubio has secured his place in history of infamy.

For @motherjones.com In an email circulated today by the federal Department of the Interior, the Trump administration has issued a stop-work order for organizations providing legal services to unaccompanied minors entering the United States. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

In response to the network’s Freedom of Information filing on Elon Musk’s security clearance details, CNN received an email reading, “GOOD LUCK WITH THAT… they just fired the whole privacy team.” That’s the OPM team overseeing federal workers security clearances! www.mediaite.com/news/cnn-get...

Imagine being rich enough to do anything you want and choosing to take food and medicine from starving children to give yourself even more money.

SWAN: DOGE and SpaceX employees are now working directly at the FAA and DoD, agencies that have billions of dollars of contracts with Musk's companies or regulate them. How is that not a conflict of interest? TRUMP: Well I mean, I'm just hearing about it

Democratic Senators voted unanimously to confirm Marco Rubio.

Yeah, this is pretty obvious but worth stressing. Also, the idea that techbro coders with no experience in government are best able to identify and root out “fraud” is laughable

I fear they’re coming for ALL school vaccine mandates next. Including measles, mumps and rubella.

Should of never been hired🙄💥

What these nihilistic vandals are doing to dismantle science & medicine—generations of expertise & public service & life improving benefits—is cultural revolution level national self harm. No foreign foe could inflict such brutal damage & senseless suffering on US so fast & effectively & unresisted.

Hilarious NYT headline: REPUBLICANS LOVE TRUMP’S SPENDING CUTS. JUST NOT IN THEIR STATES.

I maxed out my credit card, emptied my savings account, and took out a loan to move from Alabama to Bethesda, MD. I don’t even qualify for unemployment since I’ve only worked at NIH for a month. I will be financially and medically devastated. Seeking suggestions for anywhere that’s hiring!!

Having passed up the opportunity years ago to run DOJ’s Civil Division, I’ve never run a large organization, let alone at DOJ. So I’m no expert. But I’m gonna spitball that if hundreds of your subordinates want to tell you to “go fuck yourself,” you might, perhaps, have a management problem.

Folks: I am NOT affiliated with the group that is using my name to support an economic boycott. Please spread this post, if you would.

WMPG's documentary, "An Extraordinary Place," won best short documentary at the Barcelona Indie Awards! @wmpg.org #wmpg #portlandme #communityradio #collegeradio #documentary #radiostation barcelonaindieawards.com/winners-2025/

Tesla's stock is ridiculously overvalued, and even a modest consumer boycott could tank the company, which accounts for the majority of Elon Musk's wealth. The divestment movement weakened apartheid South Africa. Let's do that again. slate.com/business/202...

This.

Trump & Musk are making massive cuts to the National Institutes of Health. I know there is a lot going on right now, but this is one of worst things they have done so far, will affect cancer research and trials, the search for cures, innovation and competitiveness, our universities. Your lives.

Wow! The number of @bsky.app users just passed 31 MILLION!👏 LETS DO THIS!
