This segment is so so good. Truly no one out there uses his platform like John Oliver
Was thrilled to help consult for this fantastic John Oliver segment on the tragic plight of U.S. public media and why, if we hope to be a democracy, we still need public media for so many things that commercial media will never provide. Deserves a wide viewership. www.youtube.com/watch?v=yknM...

Thank you, Steve, for helping those of us without law degrees wrap our heads around this! It is good to know that this order isn’t going to draw things out as long as I had initially thought (pending further actions by the SC) and makes Justice Jackson’s actions make more sense.

The crowd did not disperse, an instead started playing Tubthumping by Chumbawamba — I get knocked down, but I get up again.

Of the 2,500 No Kings gatherings across America, few were more saturated in American history—in flags and historical costumes—than the one on the Battle Green in Lexington, where the Minutemen fought another king 250 years ago.

It's kinda cool that Gary Larson is doing new cartoons because he picked up a digital tablet, taught himself how to use it, and it made him love drawing again.

Day 8! A maple sapling starting to change color. I think it’s a sugar maple, but I will have to take a closer look to confirm it isn’t a Norway maple. Trunk of our native black cherry in the background. American Cancer Society photo-a-day fundraiser link in my Instagram and FB.

Oops! I seem to have missed day 7! So here’s a belated day 7 photo. Purple aster surrounded by rose hips. The aster is a native wildflower. Unfortunately the rose hips belong to the moderately invasive multiflora rose. American Cancer Society photo-a-day fundraiser in my Instagram and FB profiles.

Day 6! The last of my black-eyed susans for the season. As you can see, the rest of the plant has passed its prime, but it gave me one more bloom! Fundraiser link in my Insta & FB

Day 5! These purple fall asters are loved by all of the pollinator insects! We allow to them grow all around the property as they are actually native wildflowers and thus beneficial to the environment and very important to the pollinators when little else is still blooming.

If you’re watching @maddow.msnbc.com’s A Block you understand that people who stand up for other people can change the course of those people’s lives & our history. We have the power to refuse Trump’s path forward. Protesting actually works. Let’s go.

Maddow: I also feel like there’s not very much about that that I don’t understand. Like, it’s the same everywhere. This is blond Berlusconi, you know what I mean? This is inarticulate Viktor Orbán, right? These guys are all the same. The authoritarian playbook is the same everywhere

A few photos from #handsoff rally in Pittsburgh. This was the second rally of the day (a third was also being held at the same time in a suburb of Pgh), from 5-6:00 PM, after an early afternoon rally in downtown Pittsburgh. Being #chronicallyill, it took me a couple of days to recover and post!

Tiny, struggling Youngstown, OH just brought the FIRE—850+ showed up to fight for democracy in red Mahoning County.
This isn’t apathy.
This is a RISING.
Even in the heart of MAGA country, people are wide awake and shouting: #HandsOff our rights, our votes, our future. 🤩
