To be accurate - Harris had multiple excellent opportunities to put meaningful daylight between her political positions regarding Palestine & Israel versus those of Genocide Joe. As a candidate, she never did. No Palestinian was given the floor at the DNC. The list goes on. It’s way too late now.

On this date, Matthew Shephard died 27 years ago. He was beaten, tortured, and left for dead on fence for being gay. Please keep him and his wonderful mother Judy in your thoughts. And let's all work for a world where such horrific things do not happen to anyone. ❤️🏳️‍🌈

It is clear to anyone with a brain that someone in an inflatable frog costume cannot pose the requisite threat required for an official to deploy a chemical agent into the costume's air intake fan. This is excessive force and fascism.

Do you know what you are doing on Saturday, October 18?

If the answer is no, you are deserving of nonlethal, but firm slap. #NoKings

Machado isn’t a very nice person. Just very dedicated to a cause. She calls herself a centrist liberal. But her politics r all over the map - mostly supporting big business against the needs of Venezuelans . She’d sell off most of the state-owned service sector. She also likes Drumpf. Heard enuff?

I had a great day birding yesterday. Sandhills and Great Blue Herons and Squirrels. Pics to come.

Here's one more of that wonderful brief close encounter with the Red-tailed Hawk.

Have a great new week!

A red-tailed hawk taking off from a rather low perch on a city sign. It's wings are spread and it's face and red tail are in good focus. The bird is just a few feet higher that the photographer.

Only 50%. The useless health insurance industry and its powerful lobbyists is the other 50%. Also, never forget that deep-seated racist history and present racist animus in the US keep us from embracing universal “free” healthcare- unlike every other developed country in the world.

Andy (the sex pest) Cuomo is a tool for the bankers, billionaires, and rightwing AiPAC donors. He doesn’t give a sh*t about NYC, never has, never will. Vote for Mamdani for Mayor.

A “must see” film. If you have even the tiniest whiff of humanity in you, you’ll come away cursing the Israelis and the IDF - they are monsters.

An award-winning film now showing across Europe, no American distributors will touch it. Who’s telling them to stay away?

Always one of my favorite quotes! Also love Schiller: “Against stupidity the gods themselves contend in vain”. As a sci-fi lover, those two always come up together for me😏

The mainstream media loves making it seam like dysfunction in Washington is coming from both parties.

Hello?

Much of the GOP no longer accepts the rule of law, or the norms of democracy, or the legitimacy of the opposing party.

Enough of the false equivalence.

Amusing that this Haaretz opinion writer obsesses over the disarming of Hamas while ignoring the political realities of Israel’s fascist gov. Nazi Netanyahu’s cabinet wants to finish off Gaza, not just Hamas (which hardly counts as a foe against nuclear Israel with unfettered access to US weapons).
