I enjoyed visiting Put-In-Bay, Ohio on South Bass Island on Lake Erie when my friend Mark Deeter and I visited on July 30th.

Due to poor air quality from wildfire smoke, today Tanya’s parents and I visited Oregon Museum of Science and Industry @omsiedu.bsky.social where we happened to stumble across a good exhibit on #climatechange. #climate #ActOnClimate
I enjoyed visiting the Perry’s Victory and International Peace Memorial at Put-In-Bay on South Bass Island, Ohio when my friend Mark Deeter and I visited there on July 30th.
For #ClimateAction and our #democracy, I am proud to be seen in this (still image screenshot) commercial promoting the re-election of Oregon Governor @tinakotek.bsky.social. She is the one who will #ActOnClimate to pass strong #climate bills during the next 4 years.
Sadly, this is #ClimateChange. Please speak out, talk about this with friends and family, organize, contact your elected officials to pass strong #climate and #CleanEnergy polices, invest in solar and EVs, and vote! #ActOnClimate #ClimateAction
More than 2 million acres burned as Oregon sets new wildfire record
The state has surpassed its acreage record just two months into wildfire season.

I enjoyed the ferry ride from Port Clinton, Ohio to Put-In-Bay/South Bass Island, Ohio that I did on July 30, 2026.
For our #democracy, my final photos from walking around Washington D.C. on July 26, 2026. #DemocracyMatters #DemocracyInAction
For our #democracy, photos of my recent ‘1930s Berlin’ tour of Trump’s damage to Washington D.C. It was infuriating to see, yet vital to record for public awareness and history. It’s a reminder that #ElectionsHaveConsequences #DemocracyMatters #DemocracyInAction
For our #democracy, I felt frustrated seeing National Guard troops when I walked around Washington D.C. They were young kids just following orders just standing around chatting with each other. They were not fighting crime, just following an autocrat’s orders to try to intimidate U.S citizens.

For our #democracy and #PublicHealth, exactly 2 years ago, I read Dr. Anthony Fauci’s memoir about his career as a doctor and Director of National Institute of Allergy & Infectious Diseases (NIAID) from 1984 to 2022. He is a genuine American Hero. Don’t let Rand Paul or MAGA Republicans fool you.
Got to see my first cousin, Mendy, and her family in Columbus, Ohio yesterday. She is my only first cousin. My sisters, my mom, dad, and I really treasure her. We love her, her mom, and her family to the moon and back!
On my recent visit to Washington D.C, it was interesting to walk by, but not break into, the Watergate Complex.
For our #democracy, don’t let anyone fool you. Vaccines, masking, social distancing, and lockdowns helped curb deaths during the COVID-19 pandemic. Anyone on the right wanting to blame Dr. Fauci wants to distract you their failure in Iran, disaster with tariffs, and their racist ICE crackdown.

For #ClimateAction and our #democracy, I am very excited to be attending the @citizenslobbyca.bsky.social conference today in Washington D.C. #GrassRootsClimate #CCLinDC
For our #Democracy & #DemocracyMatters, today I felt like I saw multiple incidents of damage Donald Trump inflicted on Washington D.C. in the past year because of his impulsive arrogant autocratic behavior. Here’s my video in front of the Kennedy Center describing the harm I saw on my walk today:
Aerial photos from when I flew into Washington D.C. yesterday.
Aerial views of Mt. Adams and Mt. Rainier from my flight yesterday from Portland OR to Washington D.C.

For #ClimateAction in July, I drove 338 miles in my Hyundai Kona EV and it only cost me $18.02 total at my nearby public charging station. Not sure what gas prices are these days, but it seems to me to be so much cheaper to drive an electric car. #ActOnClimate #climate #EV #EVs #ElectricVehicles
Final photos of Mt. Shuksan at the end of our visit to Heather Meadows by North Cascades National Park on July 12th as we were leaving to drive down the hill.
