Senate Republicans could be trying to end the Iran war or improve the economy. Instead, they are championing Trump’s MAGA voter suppression bill.

I attended a salon concert yesterday featuring the music and letters of Clara and Robert Schumann, as well as Brahms. Here's my recent article about why this intimate concert setting is so important. www.patreon.com/posts/vital-...

My editor just sent me the potential book cover for Some Things Don’t Burn, coming out in November 2026, and I can’t wait to share it! It’s SO SO SO exciting that this book that I have been working on for several years is actually coming into being!

Jasmine Crockett: “Most of us already know who Trump is — we already know there are no bounds to how low he’s willing to go. We know that he has no moral compass. We know that he is a disgrace — when will Republicans in Congress condemn his behavior — your silence is complicity & it is very loud”

Liam made people look. Now don’t look away. We still have children in ICE custody eating bad food, drinking questionable water, living in filthy conditions, and carrying a lifetime of trauma they shouldn’t have to survive. #FreeTheChildren

37 from Epstein files in trumps admin = a party of pedophiles.

The arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are a test for every MSM member with a platform. If you are not voicing your outrage at this blatant violation of the First Amendment, you are utterly discredited as a journalist.

After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.

What would Dr King advise us to do now?

Unbelievable. This would be a terrible blow to American science, writ large. It would decimate not only climate research, but also the kind of weather, wildfire, and disaster research that has underpinned half a century of progress in prediction, early warning, and increased resilience.

According to Fox News, if you are a racist Young Republican you are still a "kid" when you are 34, but if you are an Epstein victim, you are an adult when you're 15.

If Congress doesn't act, costs will rise on premiums for health care plans on the Affordable Care Act marketplaces. Here's what to know about the politics and real-world impact of this issue.

I know the rhetoric is blatantly otherwise these days but I maintain that empathy, kindness, service, love of and respect for our fellow human being, for animals and the natural world are what will bring humanity forward.

Between June 2022 and June 2024, at least 412 people across the country have been charged for crimes related to their pregnancies, pregnancy losses, or even live births. This is what fetal personhood looks like.

How is this not being widely reported? www.standard.co.uk/news/world/r...

Beware: Antifa are currently mounting their bicycles armed with reusable stainless steel coffee mugs and canvas bags, headed to their local neighborhood farmer’s market in war-ravaged Portland.

This, and release the Epstein Files.

This is Portland right now. We’re“under siege” by pollen and potholes, that’s about it. We have a ton of live webcams if you want to watch us go to the farmers markets or walking our dogs, we love dogs. Release the Epstein files. www.camscape.com/webcam/pione...

Goodbye free speech. www.npr.org/2025/09/20/g...

Throwback Thursday to a time when many of the posts on my feed were people’s musical creations, goofy pets, or photos of the natural world. I miss the days of sharing creativity, cuteness & natural beauty with each other. I also miss rationalism, decency, intelligent discourse and freedom of speech.

From layoffs to billion-dollar budget cuts and ideological battles over history itself, the National Park Service is facing one of the most turbulent moments in its 109-year history. This week on @revealnews.org:

⚡️ 120,000 Ukrainians in US at risk of deportation as Biden-era program lapses, WSJ reports.

I stand with @pbs.org and their efforts to carry on the legacy of the CPB. "For $5/month or $60/yr you get access to PBS Passport and the entire Masterpiece library plus Great Performances, etc. Defunded but not defeated." www.pbs.org/passport/lea...

Americana Artists Are Worried About Trump’s Attack on Public Broadcasting: ‘It’s Cutting a Lifeline’

I am devastated. This, more than anything they’ve done will destroy our ability to be informed, to be connected to our communities, to have access to independent media. Be horrified. www.cnn.com/2025/08/01/m...

“We can’t be silent. Never again is now for everyone.” - An Israeli youth.

🔸 “It’s like modern-day slavery.” 🔸 “Honestly, they are the most crooked agency I’ve ever worked for." 🔸 “The apartment was like a sweatshop." 🔸 “I was there illegally." “A sitting duck." After our investigation, Trump's modeling agency shut down. www.motherjones.com/politics/201...

This Caturday I’d like to introduce you to Sparky, my current foster kitty.

Filmmaker Ken Burns tells NPR's Michel Martin about the role that federal funding has played in his documentary work and the potential impact of the loss of that funding on children's programming.

I love you @npr.org and @pbs.org and will always support independent public media.

I keep coming back to all the powerful men who raped girls through Epstein, yet only one woman is in jail, and none of them have faced any consequences.

Can’t have education when you want to dumb people down.
