Seeing Walz withdraw from the MN gov race while the Epstein files continue to emit fumes w/o consequences and RFKjr marshals more children to die, I am reflecting on the burden of shame & contrition. It seems the only people who can succeed in our current info & political environment feel no shame.

RFK Jr. is a dangerous man whose conspiracy theories are putting children’s lives at risk. There is NO evidence behind this decision, and it will only cause more preventable diseases to spread.

During Fiona Hill's testimony to Congress on Oct 14, 2019, she described how Trump and Putin discussed exchanging Ukraine for Venezuela. The quid pro quo was if Trump refuses to help Ukraine fight off a Russian invasion, Putin would not help Venezuela (a Russian ally) resist a US takeover.

I can define why I feel weird exactly - folks like Maduro are adored by DJT by definition. All this makes no sense, and we are stuck in the limbo of believing what we are seeing when what we are seeing isn’t the reality. Time will tell.

JFK in 1960 defined a liberal as someone who who fights for justice and civil rights, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigidity, who defends the vulnerable, and acts with principle. His bold words still challenge every one of us to stand up and do what's right.

Peak Skagit River flow lower than predicted, still 1/3’ higher than 1990 record.
I didn’t go look but news last nite showed water near top of river walk guard-hand rail (far right).

Seattle is known for its rain, so to outsiders, this may seem like an ordinary occurrence, but it's not. It is REALLY REALLY wet right now and the rain keeps falling — not the persistent Seattle mist of yesteryear, but a continuous rain that doesn't seem to be letting up anytime soon.

Spotify has laid off thousands in recent years, while reportedly paying artists $0.003 per stream.
Spotify profits rose 28% in Q3. Its CEO is worth $9.8 billion. It's making money off ICE recruitment ads.
Don't you think it's time put a wrap on corporate greed and exploitation?
