77 years old widower, 3 daughters, 6 grandchildren, combat Marine 65-69, liberal Democrat, hate the Greed Over People. Kindness, empathy, compassion the only way to live. Atheist, because religion is evil.

In the 1950s we had 700 different chemicals in our food Today we have over 10,000 in our food In Europe, they only have 700 still today. Kelloggs makes the safer Canadian version and the American version. Two different options, same manufacturer. Americans have been sold out sadly.

Russia just used a cluster bomb in Kyiv Cluster bombs used against civilians is a war crime This has to end Putin has to be “put away” People can only take so much and there is absolutely no reason for this other than Russia are blood thirsty criminals

"Go to an old cemetery. See all the baby graves from before the 1950s & 60s? After that, hardly any. That's when people started vaccinating their children against deadly childhood diseases. If you're unsure what to do to protect your kids, the answer is literally written in stone." ~ Michael Okuda

Against a black background, an artist’s rendering of a cement cradle and headstones in a cemetery:

Go to a cemetery. See all the baby graves there from before the 1950s and 1960s? Then, hardly any. That's when people started vaccinating their kids.

This wasn’t how it was supposed to be… The tragic truth is that, as some of us warned a decade ago, mainstream climate science has turned out to be the opposite of alarmist. It has turned out to be complacent and over-optimistic. Truthfulness - and strategic adaptation - are urgent. (Pse repost.)

A first year above 2C in the mid-2030s now looks plausible. 0.5C was first passed in 1980, 1.0C in 2010 and 1.5C in 2024. The 15-year trend runs at 0.42C per decade. The 2026 and 2027 points for the current El Nino are estimates. We're not remotely ready!

Line chart titled "A first year above 2 C in the mid-2030s looks increasingly plausible". It shows global mean surface temperature from 1940 to 2050 as the annual anomaly against the 1850 to 1900 baseline, in degrees C. Data is ERA5 from Copernicus, running to 31 July 2026.

A thin gold line shows individual years, wobbling around a thick dark blue smoothed trend. Both sit near 0.2 C through the 1940s to the early 1970s, then climb steadily from the mid-1970s onward.

Three red dots mark the first year each threshold was passed. 0.5 C in 1980, 1.0 C in 2010 and 1.5 C in 2024. Labels beneath note the gap of 30 years between the first two and 14 years between the second and third. Everything above 1.5 C is shaded pink.

Two dashed lines run forward from 2025. A blue line follows the 15-year trend of 0.42 C per decade and reaches 2 C in 2037. A fainter grey line follows the 30-year trend of 0.27 C per decade and reaches 2 C in 2044.

Two orange circles mark estimates for the developing El Niño, at about 1.5 C for 2026 and about 1.7 C for 2027.

General Eisenhower was our last great Reoublican President. He warnedn us about the Military Industrial Complex and warned that every weapon used meant a child was not being taken care of.

Breaking: Another victim, Edwin Jovanny Lopez Cornejo, has died in ICE custody at Delaney Hall prison after being denied vital medication and family visits. Depriving sick detainees of care until they die is murder by neglect. We demand complete transparency and justice for Edwin! 🎥 Statuscoup

Neither socialists nor communists destroyed 237 years of Constitutional democracy. In 2010 SCOTUS passed "Citizens United", the most deceptively named Republican ruse since Fox "News" (aka GOP TV), which unleashed unregulated capitalist greed. And the biggest billionaire feeding frenzy in history.

Republicans are so pathetic they're recycling Red Scare dogwhistles as old as Trump: NB reporters: "McCarthy's reckless and unfounded attempt to impugn my loyalty is just one more example of his typical tactic of attempting to tie up to Communism anyone who disagrees with him." --Edward R. Murrow

They refused him medication, brushed off his complaints, and let him die while detained at Delaney Hall. On that day, a young girl lost her dad—and a piece of herself. Heartless monsters tried to cover up his death, but her voice WILL be heard. Justice for Edwin Jovanny Lopez Cornejo! 🎥Statusacoup

I agree with him that ICE should be abolished. I’m voting for Haley Stevens because as my US Representative, she’s working on shifting ICE funds to local authorities and holding independent third party investigations to hold them accountable. Those are pragmatic, achievable, immediate actions.

Our neighbors are being kidnapped from our streets. We have seen increased ICE activity across Seattle neighborhoods over this past week. ICE must be held accountable for their cruel and illegal actions. We know that fear and chaos is their goal. We counter that with knowledge and community.

DHS must immediately return Eduardo Aguirre home to Washington state. These cruel tactics to speed up deportations and remove due process must stop. Disband ICE.
