I am not a tragedy, I am a goddamn epic.
The next time our callow leader answers a reporter’s perfectly reasonable question about a major issue with “I don’t know anything about that,” the next question should be, “Then why aren’t you doing your job?”

In a world filled with bad news, remember today that good happens unseen every day everywhere.
For instance, each Thanksgiving morning, this group of local families comes to the green in Hartford near our house to serve breakfast to the needy. No publicity. No hype. Just good.

I always think if only so and so could have lived a little longer, then they wouldn't have died. Mostly in reference to my dad's death from lung cancer.

Doctor here. Her story is that of tens of thousands of Americans.
Another example: When Chad Boseman was diagnosed with advanced colon cancer, his 5 yr survival was <14%: he died in 2020. Today his 5 yr survival would be >55%. So tragic.
RFK Jr HALTED PROGRESS.

Stunning development: Senators now confirm the Trump admin’s 28-point “peace plan” for Ukraine wasn’t a U.S. plan at all. It was a Russian wish list. Follow along. This is crazy. 1/

Found a lovely Carolina mantis (Stagmomantis carolina) hanging out on my mom’s door; I migrated her to a fig tree. She cleaned herself on my hand! Her short wings reveal her sex; males have longer, flying wings.

Many Americans are hurting right now because of the shutdown, but caving to Republicans won’t end the hurt.
Trump and his lapdogs continue to assert that they alone have the power to slash whatever programs they don’t like.
Deals with this regime are meaningless.

@housedemocrats.bsky.social, please do not give up this shut-down fight! The Senate is not seeing the forest for the trees here: millions of children and adults will lose health insurance if you do not stay the course. Losing health insurance means losing life, liberty, and any hope of happiness.

Did you know that in Canada, if a budget doesn’t pass the government doesn’t shut down?
Federal workers aren’t furloughed.
Funding for social services doesn’t dry up.
Failure to pass a budget triggers an election.
It puts the politicians jobs on the line.

Much like 2024, Democrats seem to think there’s a binary choice in the 2026 election between voting for Republicans (evil) and voting for Democrats (feckless).
They rarely acknowledge the third option which inevitably harms them the most: staying home.
