Pro-Science Progressive. 💙 Until Nov 2024, I was enjoying a fun 'second act' after 3 decades in science information. Now, I'm feeding my mind with truth and my soul with acts of service. "Aimer, c'est agir." ("To love is to act." Victor-Marie Hugo, 1885)

I want our young people to know that there is a path forward, that a better world is possible. I don't want them to give up, to become cynical. They deserve to be young and full of optimism. They are owed a world that supports and sustains optimism.

With luck, turning into someone like Anna Mary Robertson Moses (1860-1961). I have a bit of time before needing to ramp up my productivity. "Grandma" Moses started really cranking out the work around age 78.

In the photo, Grandma Moses, wearing a floral print apron, is seated on a chair in a room, in front of a curtained window. She holds a paintbrush in her right hand and a canvas on her lap.

What to the Slave is the Fourth of July? - Frederick Douglass, 5 July 1852 - "The blessings in which you, this day, rejoice, are not enjoyed in common. ...This Fourth July is yours, not mine. You may rejoice, I must mourn."
An artistic rendering of the Statue of Liberty. She is seated, in tears, holding her head in her hands in despair. Completely surrounding her seated figure is a metal cage. In the background is New York Harbor with boats and Lower Manhattan in the distance.

This is a really important point. Most Medicaid recipients likely have NO idea that they’re about to lose their coverage.

Recently, I drove by four armed men (police? sheriff? ICE? DHS? bounty hunters?), wearing badges & bulletproof vests, stealthily approaching a house through its tall hedge. As responsible citizens, how are we to differentiate legitimate policing from politically driven kidnapping? #ReclaimDemocracy
