The ignorance, incompetence & hubris of a handful of men during the pandemic guaranteed disease & death for centuries, maybe longer. Generations of plague.
That's why we fight like every election is life or death - because it is. It always has been. It always will be.

Dear cnn:
At about 4 pm ET yesterday, one of your guests (John) suggested that the UNLV shooter might be a Muslim person angry over the situation in Gaza.
There was no evidence to suggest that. No sources. Nothing.
The shooter was a 67-year-old white man angry about not getting a job.

In war, the first casualty is truth - Aeschylus
We've become entangled in "culture wars," the war on women, the war on drugs, the war on science, the war on education....
What home does truth have when the world is at war with truth itself?

Every effort to derail my whistleblower complaint has failed. Every effort to delay or have it dismissed has failed.
And as of today, it's official:

See you in court, DeSantis.
You are all such an amazing community.
Please help if you can!

Back from vacation and a looming federal government shutdown. I have worked for the federal government for over 14 1/2 years. This shutdown will hurt all Americans! Everytime a shutdown happens it is always Republicans who cause it. I hope that it will not last long as the last time...35 days.

Today, I was on an adventure to the Ontario Science Centre.
I was charmed to see an exhibit of a coral reef that was all knitted & crocheted. How cool!
It turns out @MarkKubert is incredibly lucky!
He lives in a beautiful city.
I had forgotten how pretty Toronto is.

Trump WILL be indicted at least 2 more times in the next 2 months. He’s already facing 71 felony counts. He has to win every case because any one conviction can put him in jail for the rest of his life.

Last night, I joined the national whistleblower summit to mourn and celebrate the life of my friend and mentor, Dan Ellsberg.
Midway through the four-hour event, the organization gave away a series of awards in recognition of whistleblowers who exemplify the principles Dan championed.
