Even though it is a grey, cold, late Fall day, this gingko tree floods the kitchen with bright yellow colors every morning until the leaves stop falling.

Vancouver drops from #19 to #30 under the so-called "leadership" of Chairman Sim and ABC. What an embarrassment.

Anyone who says "buuut the rain" should try winter cycling in Montreal and Quebec City sometime.

Scientists have been crying "Lysenkoism!" since RFK Jr. took office, but what does it mean? RFK Jr. is reviving a dark chapter of history where ideology trumped evidence, with deadly consequences for millions.

Dissent is patriotic. We're fighting to #impeachrfk
Poster graphic with two half-face photos of Trofim Lysenko and RFK Jr. An arrow points right to invite readers to swipe. Text reads: History doesn't always repeat itself, but it certainly rhymes. American Lysenkoism. A black and white photo of Lysenko inspecting a stalk of grain, with a red semicircle background. text reads: Lysenkoism: Trofim Lysenko was a scientist in the Soviet Union who rejected established genetic and agricultural science in favor or in favour of his own unproven, pseudoscientific ideas. As director of the Institute of Genetics of the Soviet Academy of Sciences, he used his political position to jail dissenters, squash criticism, and fabricate evidence to support his theories. The human cost of his anti-science? Famines that killed millions in the Soviet Union and in China. A picture of RFK Jr in black and white mirroring the previous one of Lysenko. Text reads: Sound familiar? RFK Jr. is happy to exploit the same tactics as Lysenko to carry out his own agenda of deadly anti-science, from firing ACIP experts to demanding that scientists “make the proof” for his claims. We have seen the harms of putting ideology over science. Yet, RFK Jr. wants history to repeat itself. Lysenko put the Soviet Union through famine. RFK Jr.’s anti-vaccine stance and attacks on our public health infrastructure could put the US through outbreak after outbreak of preventable disease.

I think the President of the US responding to a question about the murder of a journalist with "A lot of people didn't like that gentleman" is probably pretty bad.

Leading up to NYC’s election, politicians launched a barrage of racist claims against Zohran Mamdani. Mainstream media outlets have barely covered it.

@ahjohnson.bsky.social reports on the Islamophobic vitriol, threats of deportation, & virtually no coverage.
Why is Mainstream Media Ignoring Overtly Racist Attacks on Mamdani from Congressional Republicans?
Non-stop Islamophobic vitriol, threats of deportation, and virtually no coverage from CNN, NBC, CBS, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal or The Washington Post.

New in PN: The hysteria over Biden's pardons seems extra ridiculous now

"Trump has perverted the pardon power far beyond the most questionable actions of any other modern president, emboldening a diverse cast of crooked politicians and outright fraudsters in a new American age of corruption."
The hysteria over Biden's pardons seems extra ridiculous now
Trump's abuse of the pardon power makes everything else look like child's play.

First snowfall of the winter, which means also the first snow plows of the winter. On bike paths, of course. Tomorrow's forecast is full of rain and all this snow will probably be gone very soon, but of course, we can't wait for that here in Oulu 🇫🇮 👌☃️🚲🚶❄️

She is no Mamdano, but there is definitely a message here for political advisors who insist on arguing that the party needs to conciliate right-wing voters to win. Wilson is a self-described socialist who is on the cusp of victory over an incumbent moderate liberal. www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

WATCH — @repstevenhorsford.bsky.social : “My amendment would redirect that $40 BILLION from Argentina to fund the ACA subsidies for two years… a far better use of taxpayer dollars.”

Why do we have money for Argentina while our own people lose their health care? How does this make us great?

You know the MAGAts haven’t yet realized their Obamacare premiums are going up.

It’s kind of like the farmers not realizing Trumps tariffs were going to put them out of business.
