I’m a writer. I love to laugh. I’m artistic, inquisitive, and irrepressible. Irreverent at times. If I wasn’t a writer, I’d pretend to be one.

Let’s agree that the term “ghettoized” is peak cringe and has no place in the Museum of Narrative Art article. Yikes. @architecturaldig.bsky.social

This is a good example of the fear that ICE has engendered in so many. A man here completely legally with nothing (on paper) to fear from ICE took off running when they showed up at a gas station and was struck by a passing truck. Awful.
NEW INFO HAS REVEALED that the 28-year-old Mexican man killed while running from ICE last week was just visiting on short tourist visa—and already had a plane ticket to go home. newrepublic.com/post/213277/...

It’s like they’re not even trying to find the right people. Governance isn’t supposed to be a self-enrichment, nepotism-driven exercise that makes a joke out of public service by recruiting unqualified people to lead. It’s not a game. Real lives and systems that guarantee our safety are at stake.
Bird flu spreading, hantavirus popping up, measles spreading, public health systems gutted, and Trump appoints Don Jr.’s turkey-hunting buddy to oversee the FDA. What could possibly go wrong?

#Sweden is electrifying everything that moves — trucks, buses, ferries, and mining vehicles — building the world's most complete 0-emission transport system. While most countries are focused on getting private EVs onto roads, Sweden has been electrifying every category of transport #ActOnClimate

The controversial weed killer Roundup is now being deployed in private and public forests at record rates. We go inside the secret plan that helped make it possible.

It’s Earth Day this week and days after our astronauts returned from their mission around the moon—so it seems particularly ironic that the GOP is using this week to gut our bedrock environmental laws—including the ESA and NEPA. We’re back at it defending our communities and our planet!

Please vaccinate your children.
“The last night I was a pediatric resident, a child came in with Hib and promptly died by the next day. I didn’t work for 50 years to have everything destroyed by one man.” -Dr. Kathryn Edwards, Vanderbilt University This is what RFK Jr. and the anti-vaxxers have wrought.

They’re taking children from Minnesota and locking them up like criminals in detention camps in Texas. For the love of God, send our kids home and bring an end to this nightmare. www.startribune.com/walz-demands...
