Say "weak on crime" again. I dare you.

Outstanding, though regrettably, true answer. We need our fellow citizens to understand these truths and facts.

Thanks for continuing to speak out and represent health science, and science in general. Your voice is very valuable. 🙏

PROJECTION. ffs, it's everything they say. Control the narrative by accusing someone else of your crimes first.

Also a rare glimpse of very large, fast and noisy USAF Thunderbirds passing almost directly overhead in practice for their 1st show of the season at the Daytona 500. #F-16

Jeff Bezos: I’m good with the darkness thanks.

Quote from NRA President Wayne LaPierre about government jack-booted thugs.

What has happened to all the "jack-booted thugs," black helicopter, sovereign nation, chem-trail folks that were so worried about government overreach - particularly during Obama's time in office? It appears that what is happening now falls well within the horrors that they were so worried about.

My take on people wearing face masks is very simple:

It's not my face, so I mind my own business.

That's it. That's the whole take.

It's like on the eve of WWII we decided to stop funding R&D into weapons systems to develop advanced aircraft, ships, and tanks. Climate change is going to kick our butts if we lose NCAR (and NOAA) at a time when climate change is increasing extreme weather events capable of crashing the economy.

Three Sandhill Cranes eating spillage beneath bird feeders. Red-winged blackbird eating at the platform feeder after noisily protesting the crane's visit.

Sandhill Cranes visiting the bird feeders this morning. Notice the Red-winged blackbird on the platform feeder. He was perched on top of the pole and complaining loudly for quite a while before he finally decided to eat. #Birds

Two Bald Eagles perched in pine tree beside lake in central FL. One immature and one nearly fully mature.

Backyard visitors this morning. Two Bald Eagles. One immature that we have seen frequently over the past month or two and one nearly(?) mature. The older bird's head still has remnants of a black stripe and there is still some black in the tail. Couldn't get closer without disturbing them. #Birds

I’m good with my taxes subsidizing social welfare for people who can’t afford food.

I’m enraged with my taxes subsidizing corporate welfare to businesses that won’t pay a living wage.

The richest man on earth owns X.

The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros.

The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post.

See the problem here?

My heartfelt condolences on your loss. I don’t know your brother but I can attest that she did a great job raising you to be
an outstanding doctor and person.

Jane Goodall reaches out and touches a small monkey.

Jane Goodall was my first childhood hero, as I loved animals as a kid and was inspired by her story. I still remember the National Geographic specials about her. RIP.

One of the greatest people to live in modern times. Grateful for her courage and many contributions to science and society.

Rest in peace Dr. Goodall.🙏🏼🙏🏼

A Beautiful Day for Saying Nothing That chill in the air isn’t Jimmy Kimmel’s show being suspended. It’s just autumn!

It’s not a chilling effect. It would only be chilling if you had something horrid to say, and you don’t, do you? Certainly nothing critical of the regime, and absolutely no paraphrasing, not of anyone, not at this time!

I STAND WITH THESE GUYS !!

This part.

And I am the world's foremost astrophysicist ballerina who invented the piano, aspirin, and appetizers.

The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns.

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate.

Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care.

The list goes on and on.

Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

This right here.

Amen and Amen! These two need to resign immediately and find some replacements that will actually FIGHT! Govs Pritzker, Newsom, Moore, Hochul, and Walz are actively resisting and taking the fight to the president. We need more high profile members of congress to do the same.

Pritzker and Newsom have shown more fight and pushback on Trump than any other elected leader. I am beyond grateful for their leadership showing others how it’s done.

Twenty Lessons, read by John Lithgow Key selections from On Tyranny, for viewing and sharing

"On Tyranny" is a #1 NYT bestseller again. I wish the moment were different. But I’m glad the book is useful. And grateful for all the kind words about putting the 20 lessons to work.
