Whew!
Hillary Clinton this morning on the US-Iran talks that fell apart:
“This is hard, disciplined effort that has to go into diplomacy to reach any results. And I don’t see this administration either wanting to do it or, frankly, being capable of doing it…”
I love this photo of astronaut Christina Koch looking back at Earth from Artemis II.
She's the first woman to see the full sphere of our beautiful planet.
Welcome home to the crew, and thank you for reminding us of all we can discover together.
“[It’s not a] brilliant attack on Western democracy. The story, it appears, is that the Russian Mafia state is cultivating profit-yielding relationships with the aspiring Mafia boss of the U.S. and his band of crooks, subverting democratic institutions in the process.” @mashagessen.bsky.social 2019:
Wisconsin voters showed up and sent another big message to Republicans, securing a liberal majority until 2030!
- Iran won’t close the Strait because that would be very bad for them
- we knew they would close it, I expected oil prices to be worse
- the strait will open itself
- we don’t use it, allies should open it
- OPEN THE STRAIT RIGHT NOW OR WE’LL DESTROY YOUR POWER PLANTS

As a result of our court win, the remaining funding for the Gateway Program’s Hudson Tunnel Project has been released.
Now we can keep this critical project moving.
Be aware of which political party wants the American people to vote and will protect our collective right to do so…and which political party wants to restrict that right so that they may remain in power indefinitely.
The difference could not be clearer than at the present moment.
If social media giants are going to feed off Illinoisans, they ought to support them.
I'm proposing a social media platform fee that will generate $200 million per year to support K-12 education.
A storefront in Hollywood glows during the golden hour. Some palm trees line the street it’s on. Circa 2005 maybe? They used this building on Beverly and Gardner as the Peach Pit in the newer version of 90210. I drove or walked by it every day so would see them filming. One day while driving by, they weren’t actively filming and I saw Tristan Wilds. I leaned out the window and yelled “yo Omar’s coming.” He liked that so he smiled and waved. I don’t usually take pictures within the city, but the last one seemed to be liked so here goes. I’ll be back to mountains, rivers and oceans soon enough I suppose.

This says it and it’s exactly what it is….
“With their resistance to violent authoritarianism, the people of Minneapolis have renewed the spirit of Dr. King’s call for ‘the positive affirmation of peace.’”
