Great turnout and vibes under Carolina blue skies in Carrboro NC. And everywhere else, it looks like. “Do you hear the people sing?” asked one sign. Oh yeah. They hear.
I love watching wild turkeys, so a related #Maine experience is cleaning turkey poop off my shoe.
Insurance rates up $2000. Food benefits cut off. Farmers unable to sell their crops. Skyrocketing national debt. $40 billion to Argentina. America First!
With heavily-armed federal agents and National Guard troops patrolling the streets in DC, knowing our rights is critical to keeping ourselves and our communities safe. No matter what uniform they wear, police and military troops are bound by the Constitution.

I'm floored. This is ONE stretch of ONE side of the street in deep red, small town Knoxville, TN today. This is a city that Trump won in 2024 by 20+ points. The scope of these protests are massive—American from both sides of the aisle are pissed. There will be no kings.

Lighting experiments over a campfire after dark. I like this one.
I am “I’m not walking in that icy snow with a wack hip” years old.
Years ago, I wore a Krispy Kreme sweatshirt to the gym and the bros never let me forget it. On Monday, at the all-women gym where I work out, a woman walked in and announced, “I brought cheesecake!” and everyone cheered. Gyms apparently don’t have to suck.
