“Travel is fatal to prejudice.” - Mark Twain. I am just a fellow traveler on this giant blue marble hoping empathy, listening, and honest discourse help us help one another. Life is not a zero-sum game. Photography, cartography, & the big bad Bruins!

There was a clip the other day, not Xi but some other Chinese official. Said "Yes, we made money off USA. Then invested it in our people. Education. Science. Etc. USA made money too. Then gave it all to a handful of people to hoard while society crumbled" (paraphrasing) It was an eloquent fuck off.🤣

There is no bottom. As I said from the beginning - Trump permits people to be their worst.

It still boggles my mind that so many people couldn't grasp last year how significantly more morally depraved a second Trump term would be in comparison to the first. And how so many people still can't comprehend that our national crisis isn't about politics, but simple morality.

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube.

Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X).

I am sounding the alarm that the GOP is engaged in an all out attack voting rights and free and fair elections. Voter suppression, gerrymandering, and troops in blue cities are just some of the ways they are using to try to rig the rules to keep power in 2026 and beyond.

Pay attention and act!

We’re in a moment now where it would be worth people taking three hours to watch Gandhi, particularly the scene of the salt march. There is value to making the brutality of your opponent so plain as day that no one can argue with it. The clarity of that brought down an empire

That’s cool! But can I restart that project if I mess it up? 🥸

Maybe we recruit Clippy to point out fascism online for those who haven’t yet figured it out

This is the playbook, folks.

If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away.

Do not be quiet in this moment.
