Following academia, law, science, arts (🎸 📸 🎨), sports, and journalism on Bluesky from the shores of the Atlantic in South Florida (and sometimes from the banks of Lake Ontario in WNY -banner photo, sun setting over Toronto). Birds, man! It’s a coup.

Just going to keep posting these updates…. “After Governor Abbott’s Defeat, Houston’s Mayor Changes Course on ICE” — saying police should stop informing ICE when they find someone w/o legal status during a stop. www.nytimes.com/2026/11/06/u...

Do yourself a favor and reject any media framing that presents socialism and capitalism as if they are diametric opposites. That framing is rooted in corrupt elite consensus. They don't want the people snooping around the crime scene.

The most amoral people are going to do the most ridiculous things this week. Let them! They’ll say the dumbest shit imaginable — out loud and in writing! Let them show their whole ass — so everyone will know they were never serious people and should not be treated that way!

#DEI destroyed #MAGA last night! Hoo boy, is there going to be awkward silence from those who truly believed that was a winning message! Media, academia, law, etc. #Texas is #Blue. But for Heaven’s Waiting Room with Fox News constantly on the boob tube and Miami-Cuba County, #Florida would be too.

When all is said and done, more is said than done! Here’s to all the folks behind the scenes getting it done this election - folks working the campaigns and the polling stations, volunteers providing transportation, organizers of marches and protest, the legal teams protecting the vote. #Vote
