Thank you @marissavaleri.com

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month so please get a mammogram! Breast cancer affects both women and men, of all ages and all family histories. I had my 1st earlier this year, and it was easy! My tech, pictured here, made my first one very easy and painless with her great sense of humor. 😀

It was a perfect day for RedGate Park & Arboretum Day! This green space is a gift for Rockville residents. We can all use a little more nature in our lives.

Pritzker: "People of Illinois, we need your help. Get our your cell phones, record and narrate what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know that this is happening and that we won't stand for it."

Just amplifying this how-to. deadline.com/2025/09/how-...

L'shanah Tovah tikatevu v'teichateimu to all Rockville residents who celebrate! May your new year be sweet, peaceful, and full of joy.

Today is the Day of Remembrance of the Genocide of the Greeks of Asia Minor by the Turkish State. My great grandmother and her mother were the only survivors from our family of the Burning of Smyrna. Αἰωνία ἡ μνήμη - memory eternal.

TOMORROW! Join me and come out to the Montgomery County Family Bike Fest in Rockville Town Square from 1 pm - 4:30 pm!

September is National Recovery Month, but it is also National Opioid and Substance Awareness Day on the 21st. I carry Narcan (generic: naloxone) with me everywhere I go: like CPR, it is an easy way save someone’s life. And it’s easy to get! Just saw this today.

This afternoon, in addition to Charlie Kirk, there was a school shooting. Bullets don't know and don't care if you are a Republican or Democrat. It is time for Republicans and Democrats to find a way to work together to reduce gun violence. www.wcpo.com/us-news/crim...

Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D) on the shooting of Charlie Kirk: "Political violence, unfortunately, has ramped up in this country ... I think there are people who are fomenting it in this country. I think the president's rhetoric often foments it."

The problem with allowing guns everywhere is that no one is safe anywhere.

Pritzker: "When did we become a country where it's ok for the US president to insist on national television that a state should call him to beg for anything? Especially something we don't want. Have we truly lost all sense of sanity in this nation that we treat this as normal?"

Pritzker: "He has no idea what's he's talking about. There is no emergency that warrants deployment of troops. He is insulting the people of Chicago by calling our home a hellhole, and anyone that takes his word at face value is insulting Chicagoans too."

I know this sounds crazy, but shouldn’t the Secretary of Energy know something about energy?

Happy Labor Day! Enjoy the BBQs and gatherings, and thank a union member for everything they do. 😁

The DeSantis regime will do more to protect sidewalks from chalk than children from bullets.

This right here. 👇🏻

Seen on my run in Rock Creek Park today. Parking lot near Beach and Tilden. Paper taped on over a Harris 2024 sign.

I’m enjoying a day off (kinda lol) and getting my hands in the soil once more. I’ve seen 2 hummingbirds so far! They love my late boneset. ❤️ They move too fast for a picture!

My Governor. 🥰🦀

Another point in favor of suburbia/total car orientation looking good for families but being subtly and invisibly anti-family

This will end well.

Welp. Good luck, Utahns and the 15 other states that do not care about keeping their residents safe and healthy.

I can too! (Btw, I love your voice so much. ❤️)

there is no question in my mind that rfk jr is the most dangerous person in this administration and that his eugenicist ideology threatens the lives of millions of people www.advocate.com/politics/dem...

It’s a beautiful evening, Rockville! Enjoy. 😁

This is the most befuddling part of the new covid vax eligibility: “People under 65 with no underlying conditions aren’t eligible under the F.D.A. approval, even if they live with someone at high risk of severe illness.” It’s as though the head of HHS knows nothing about epidemiology. 🤷‍♂️

Guess their boot straps are broken.

Baltimore was awarded $62M in the trial against a ghost gun dealer, for flooding the city with untraceable guns. The funds will support community violence intervention groups. @daniel-webster.bsky.social, the Center’s Distinguished Scholar, provided expert witness testimony in the trial.

Here's some good news: Catelin Drey won a special election this week to flip a seat blue in the Iowa Senate and break Republicans' supermajority.

#Breaking: Health secretary RFK Jr. issues harsh critique of CDC after ouster of its director www.statnews.com/2025/08/28/r...

This rhetoric will be ultimately more harmful to folks with mental health issues than any gun could be. Medications for psychiatric disorders can save lives.

I had serious doubts about CDC Director Monarez’s willingness to stand up against RFK Jr.’s personal mission to destroy public health in America—I’m glad that I was wrong. If there are any adults left in the White House: we cannot let RFK Jr. burn what's left of CDC. FIRE HIM.

As both a Rockville City Councilmember and Italian American, I am so happy for Il Pizzico!!

😂

Copy and share, and hold your loved ones accountable. This can potentially save lives!

i find this image so fascinating. it is both a literal example of authoritarianism but also a second-hand reproduction of the aesthetics of other authoritarian states. it's like a simulacra of authoritarianism whose purpose is to attempt to make the simulacra real.

Litter is definitely a massive emergency that warrants mobilizing units from several states’ National Guard, arming them heavily and sending them into the streets of the capital.

Same same SAME.

A good start for a boycott list.

I’m sure the South Carolina National Guard will be in hand to help the state’s resid— Hang on, I’m being handed something

If it wasn’t glaringly obvious before…

Trump threatens to invade more American cities

A half dozen armed goons brutally attacked a man FOR EATING IN PUBLIC?

Unfortunately, Bluesky is unavailable in Mississippi right now, due to a new state law that requires age verification for all users. While intended for child safety, we think this law poses broader challenges & creates significant barriers that limit free speech & harm smaller platforms like ours.

The First Amendment protects our right to record law enforcement activity. Mario Guevara must be freed from ICE detention as soon as possible.

Jesus wept.
