I went on and adventure visiting Petroglyph National Monument, the Acoma Sky Pueblo, Bitsi badlands, Shiprock, Canyon de Chelly, Canyonlands and Arches National Parks and these ravens trying to open a zipper at the Devil’s Garden in Arches is at the top top of the list of cool things I saw!

Actor Mandy Patinkin’s plea for Jews to consider how what Netanyahu’s Israeli government is doing to Gaza is not just harming Palestinians and killing kids — but also endangering Jews across the globe.

Ardem Patapoutian's story is not just the American dream, it is the dream of American science.

He arrived in Los Angeles in 1986 at age 18 after fleeing war-torn Lebanon. He spent a year writing for an Armenian newspaper and delivering Domino's at night to become eligible for the University of California, where he earned his undergraduate degree and a postdoctoral fellowship in neuroscience.

He started a lab at Scripps Research in San Diego with a grant from the National Institutes of Health, discovered the way humans sense touch, and in 2021 won the Nobel Prize.

But with the Trump administration slashing spending on science, Dr. Patapoutian's federal grant to develop new approaches to treating pain has been frozen. In late February, he posted on Bluesky that such cuts would damage biomedical research and prompt an exodus of talent from the United States. Within hours, he had an email from China, offering to move his lab to "any city, any university I want," he said, with a guarantee of funding for the next 20 years.

Man comes to the US from Lebanon. Starts out delivering pizzas, becomes a Nobel winning neuroscientist. Trump freezes his funding, he gets an email from China offering to move his lab “any city, any university I want" with guaranteed funding for 20 years.

What are we doing?

Beware Trump’s Talk of Coming “Emergencies” Far-right rhetoric is suffused with dark talk of impending calamities. It’s a favorite trope of autocrats who are, themselves, the calamity.

"They have borrowed directly from Nazi sources to make the very same points that the Nazis were making. They understand very well that the way to establish a form of government that is not bound by law or reason is to declare a state of emergency."

Trump embodies the worst aspects of the American spirit: greed, xenophobia, and arrogance.

As a kid, I always wondered why I was so obsessed Star Wars. I always wondered why it was so important.

As an adult, I get it now. Star Wars at its core is a story about fighting authoritarianism.

Cute black and white dog with glacier blue eyes looks up at the camera. They stand on the red sands of the road going through Monument Valley.

Not entirely sure this Rez dog wasn’t a faery hound. Those glacier blue eyes!

SHARE WIDELY.
KNOW YOUR RIGHTS.

With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights.

You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one.

Emails from the Democratic party and affiliates constantly barrage my inbox begging for money. Fuck ‘em. Until they have a plan, a united vision to defeat MAGA that doesn’t require a once in a century plague I’m not giving them even a penny. They need to unify behind a common progressive agenda.

Last night was the longest and darkness night of the year. The sun still came up in the morning. The nights will begin to shorten, the days will grow longer. In America we soon head into a dark four years but dawn will come again. Or so I tell myself. Lots of work to do but the dawn will come.
