Articulately saying what I needed to hear today... youtu.be/YCe4D1dyRS4?...

Sanders: I am not a great fan of the affordable care act. I believe in medicare for all. I think that health care is a human right, but I will be damned if I'm going to see people in Vermont and around this country see a doubling in their premiums.

Paper's please...

Chef’s kiss.

#BlueSkyMonday Saw this at lunch today.

That's a good looking ballpark. @tmobilepark.bsky.social

Yes. Yes, they are.

Look at this graph. The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened. This is why we must build back union power.

Good idea: Become unoptimizable. pluralistic.net/2025/08/20/b...

Today, IATSE Local 15 workers are standing together outside the Pacific NW Ballet in solidarity as contract negogiations have dragged on for over seven months. All we want are fair wages and safe working conditions. #PNB #FairContractNow #IATSE15 #UnionStrong #Solidarity #Unity #Seattle #Ballet

Thank you Ozzy for living the life you did. Your voice made depressing days tolerable for me and many others when we were growing up. You rocked the world like a Supernaut. RIP Ozzy, you done good for being the Prince of Darkness. ✌️✌️

Don't hold your breath waiting on the USA to do this. Switzerland has become the first country to install solar panels between train tracks and generating clean energy without disrupting train operations. Trains continue running safely, while the tracks silently produce sustainable power.

Why don't electric cars have solar panels on their roofs and hoods?

That last line tho.

Here, you might need this link to post in the comment section somewhere sometime. youtu.be/-bu5f1Zr3_s?...

If the bill passes, it will make ICE the nation’s largest jailer, with more funding for prison camps than the entire federal Bureau of Prisons. It would give ICE enough money to have more officers than the entire FBI.

Republicans chose to release the text of their Big Ugly bill late last night. They’re trying to pass the largest cuts to health care in history late on a Saturday. So Democrats are forcing the entirety of the bill to be read on the Senate floor. We won’t let them hide.

Something that I saw today.

"Just a scratch" is what the Black Knight said after King Arthur had chopped off both his arms & legs. Clueless. 🤣 www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Why can't we just have a good government that cares about us ALL? thehill.com/homenews/sen...

The ends of the rainbow...

"Stephen Miller and Donald Trump have made a choice: To hunt law-abiding migrants rather than the Trump supporters gunning down Democrats in their homes." Boom.

A good read to start the week off properly p.o.'d

Getting shook down by the neighborhood dogs.

Caturday. Couldn't pick just one. Happy cat on the lawn.

Forget about drag queens, I miss having a president who isn’t a drama queen.

My thoughts on what’s going on in Los Angeles:

DOGE *I$* the Deep State...

Number of people who go bankrupt every year because of medical bills or illness-related work loss: Australia 0 Canada 0 Denmark 0 Finland 0 France 0 Germany 0 Iceland 0 Ireland 0 Italy 0 Japan 0 Netherlands 0 Norway 0 Portugal 0 Spain 0 Sweden 0 UK 0 United States 530,000 There’s a lesson there.

"We need the courage to say plainly what should be obvious: democracy is not optional, human dignity is not negotiable, and self-governance is not a luxury for the fortunate few"- Mike Brock, May 28, 2025 open.substack.com/pub/mikebroc...

Personally i liked summer better when it wasn't also forest fire season everywhere.

DOGE (USDS) is THE shadow government. Duh. arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...

"A nation as wealthy as the United States can afford to care for its elderly, sick, and poor. What we cannot afford is to continue slashing taxes for the wealthiest while pretending it won't have consequences." open.substack.com/pub/mikebroc...

This isn’t just another bill. It’s the Project 2025 playbook written into law. This bill abuses budget reconciliation rules to jam through non-budget items, like education authority rollbacks, environmental deregulation, and civil service purges.

A rare display of sanity from a Republican representative today.

Noncompliance, steady as she goes. open.substack.com/pub/schizoph...

What's so wrong about eighty-six and forty-seven?
