I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Today just as news of Judge Goldstein's house explosion was coming out, Dateline on Sirius aired its episode about the 2020 murder of Judge Salas' son. 😠

Today, just as news about Judge Diane Goodstein's house explosion was coming out, Dateline on Sirius aired its episode about the 2020 murder of Judge Esther Salas' son. Judges, women perhaps especially, need much greater security in these perilous times.

This gave me chills. Each word more relevant than the last. Listen up.

It doesn't seem coincidental that 🍊 is unveiling his "RumpRx" at this time. They're going to try to show off "new and innovative" alternatives to government-supported healthcare and other services. Woe to any magas who buy the BS, figuratively or literally.

He should be. Talk about "anti-American" language!

As a Jew, I find Miller's repulsiveness truly beyond the pale.

This is the beginning (escalation, really) of the administration's assault on America. Their activities are making this almost inevitable. Whatever might have happened here, I put the blame on them. I hope she's OK.

I think many Americans who haven't paid much attention are just now starting to realize that trump either doesn't give a shit about them or downright despises them. And that this could actually hurt them.

Today we lost one of my biggest inspirations for going into the environmental field.

Dr. Jane Goodall will be greatly missed, but we can carry on her legacy by not giving up hope and continuing the fight to make this planet a better place.

I was *just* thinking about her this morning and how devastating all this insane anti-planet-Earth crap must be for her. She was/is such a ray of light and inspiration.

Ditto for PBS. Yesterday I saw this incredible "American Experience." I still can't stop thinking about all I learned; and, growing up in NY during that time, I thought I was pretty cued in to what was happening. Watch it!
