As a kid I remember sitting in history class learning about WWII and wondering over and over, why did the people of Germany not stop him? How could their Government let this happen? And here I am in 2026 living this nightmare as an American in my own country.

Well it’s “win or go home” day for the Phillies. Game 2 of the wildcard playoffs with the Atlanta Braves. ⚾️

Today in history: On Sept. 28, 1928, Scottish medical researcher Alexander Fleming discovered penicillin, the first broadly effective antibiotic. Wouldn’t he be shocked to see where we are 98 years later. Not only with the incredible advances in this field but with the anti-science people too.

Costco shoppers are loyal to the Kirkland organic maple syrup from Canada. Including this household. I’m happy to report my Costco still has it and at the same price. I suggest getting some now before trumps latest ban with Canadian products goes into effect.

Sadly, this is so true. From Illinois Governor JB Printzker. Now we’re in back to school season where millions of children and young adults head back to school/college. We have a measles outbreak and covid is rising in all states. I’m afraid it’s going to be a rough fall.

I’m honestly ready to cry, this is so upsetting. Trump is ruining all of our national treasures!

Trump is wrecking D.C. Everything Trump touches turns into a whole-ass mess. Then taxpayers get stuck with the bill to fix it.

It’s not even 8:30 in the morning and it’s already 88°. Going to be another miserable day. Stay safe everyone out there in this heat wave 🥵

I’ve seen Lake Superior many times and it never fails to humble me.

📌Decades and decades of exploration, vaccines, social progress, and righteous wars against genocide and hate, and after 250 years we end up with a lying, orange bigot who hates science and reading, and is losing a war with algae. It’s very disheartening, it really is …
