A few shots from a small protest in Wauwatosa, WI. Wauwatosa is a sleepy suburb of Milwaukee perhaps best known as the launching point of the political career of former Republican governor Scott Walker.

For the record, Gavin Newsom is absolutely a snake, but there's no comparison between the risk level of being trans in TX vs. CA.

By the time the campaign starts, my first choice is almost certainly going to be AOC, but Iāll be willing to unite behind almost anyone to prevent Newsom. Pritzker, Whitmer, even Buttigieg. People whose first choice is not AOC need to be willing to do the same.

This is really complicated. The situation in the US drives the global vaccine market and the fact that currently HHS is run by anti-vaxxers means everything is very uncertain. But I agree, Moderna Canada may have an opportunity to step up. We need to figure out how to make it happen.

As a child protection professional, I can tell you the death penalty is NOT an awesome solution to child sexual abuse. Most children are abused by family members; they will not report if their family members will die as a result.

Franzi Schimmer captured this Grizzly bear in Brooks Falls, Alaska just floating along, tippy-tapping down the river, browsing the salmon. Prior to hibernation, up to 40% of a bear's body mass is fat, which is less dense than water (~0.9 g/cm^2), so the murder-monster is also a floaty-boaty.

I was so impressed with this story about measles in the Atlantic -- the depth of reporting it would take to weave in all these details so fluidly. Turns out, it was a work of fiction. She researched the effects of measles, but lots of fiction writers do research.

I've slept a bit on this other than a few posts, but one of the most brazen things happening in state governments right now is that the Kentucky GOP is trying to impeach a liberal justice (and the first/only Black woman to join the court) because of a vote she took last year they don't like.
