I can't see to read the white on black and I'm not going to try any more. Sorry

Rocco needs a home! Go check him out at the Cares Animal Shelter in Burien. He's a great pup. #NickKnows #wawx

Heartbroken to lose this incredible feminist icon, mentor, champion, organizing legend, writer, leader from this world. I met Gloria at Hedgebrook women writers’ retreat back in 2000. I was starstruck, shy around her. But she was sitting around the kitchen table with a group of us women writers and immediately put us at ease. When she heard about my book and my work as an immigrant rights activist, she immediately jumped into a deep conversation with me, listening closely to what I was describing of our broken immigration system and immediately connecting the issues of sexism, migration, and economic stability all together. I remember her looking directly at me and saying, we need your voice out there in the world. A few months later, I got a call from the Women’s Media Center saying that Gloria had recommended me for a brand new communications leadership training designed to lift women’s voices. That also led to decades of work together. All of this was so….GLORIA. She was always about the movement. She lifted up other women. Even when she had a party right before she got the Presidential Medal of Honor from President Obama, she had all of us go around the room and describe what we were working on so others could know. It didn’t matter if you were Oprah or an activist leader like I was at the time, everyone did it the same because Gloria asked. She was unstinting and generous with her time, her advice, her listening, her lifting of voices that were most marginalized. She was also hilarious, sometimes texting at 3 AM in the morning with her latest organizing plan (let’s put buttons in every bathroom on xyzzy theme!). She was bold, visionary, and brilliant in finding the words to describe what women across the world felt. I feel so incredibly fortunate to have read her writings, listened to her strong and inspirational voice through the decades, and to have absorbed just a little of her incredible wisdom. To you, Gloria, for your life that changed the world….and changed so many of us. Rest in power.

Is bombing a wedding party a war crime? Because Donald Trump just did that. aljazeera.com/news/2026/9/2/…

Wong again Vincent 😂

We all know Elon's DOGE was fraudulent. He stripped the orgs which were calling illegal on his business dealings.

Musk and his DOGE minions stole all of our social security data.

Remember what DOGE got caught doing?! npr.org/2026/01/23/nx-s1-568…

270 TRUCKING SCHOOLS SHUT DOWN OVERNIGHT AND DONALD TRUMP CALLS IT SAFETY Not a hearing. Not a phased rollout. An emergency executive shutdown, effective immediately, on 110 schools first, then 160 more added to the kill list Markwayne Mullin and Sean Duffy stood at a podium and threw out the number 5,000 — violations tied to English proficiency requirements — like it explains erasing 270 institutions in one swing Here's what that number actually is. Thousands of working drivers, many of them immigrants, who paid tuition, passed tests, got licensed, and are now unemployed because Trump's Homeland Security decided due process is optional this week Duffy says families lost loved ones to unqualified drivers. Fine. Then show the paperwork. Show which schools committed fraud. Instead they nuked 270 of them at once and called the wreckage a victory lap Meanwhile the same administration is fighting 21 state attorneys general in court right now because it wants unrestricted access to the private CDL records of every commercial driver in America Not a coincidence. Not separate stories. One hand grabbing your data while the other hand burns down the schools that trained you Trump doesn't fix broken systems. He detonates them and photographs the rubble Ask the driver who paid $6,000 for a CDL program that no longer legally exists whether Washington gave him thirty days notice. Ask him if anyone gave him his money back Nobody did. Nobody will This is what "crackdown" means under Trump. Mass punishment first, evidence later, if ever They are not going to stop, and every immigrant with a commercial license just became a target with a number attached instead of a name

WOW: Trump has pardoned healthcare exec. Joseph Schwartz after being charged for not paying employees. Schwartz reportedly paid more than $1 million to lobbyists for this pardon.

On Monday, an ICE vehicle drove into a prayer vigil outside Delaney Hall and drove over a woman's foot. Today, it appears an ICE involved car chase resulted in an accident involving the wife of the Mayor of East Brunswick. ICE's lawlessness is putting innocent people in harms way. #AbolishICE

We don't need the 25th Amendment. We would get Vance then and that's not an upgrade. We need Article II, Section 4 to remove Trump and everyone in his administration.

“Certain awards, particularly one named for the icon of the women's equality movement, cannot be received as a gift. An award named for Gloria Steinem could just as well come with a return receipt saying, ‘Keep on earning it.’” —@EleanorNorton receiving a Gloria Award in 2013.

I helped an American named Frank haul eight sheets of three-quarter-inch plywood in the back of his Ford. I brought rope. Thick hemp rope. In my ancestors' land, forty-two distinct naval knots could secure a siege engine against a coastal typhoon. I prepared to tie a trucker's hitch. Frank did not look at my rope. He reached into a plastic milk crate behind his seat and pulled out two straps the color of a hunting vest, fitted with heavy iron teeth. He hooked the steel claws to the truck bed. He cranked the iron handle four times. Clack. Clack. Clack. Clack. The nylon groaned. The rear suspension of the Ford sank two inches under the violence of the tension. The wood was dead. It could not move if an artillery shell struck the tailgate. Then Frank did something I will carry to my grave. He stepped back. He did not check the tailgate. He reached out his right hand, gripped the orange webbing between his thumb and forefinger, and plucked it. TWANG. A low, sharp bass note echoed off the metal chassis. Like an archer testing the string of an ancient bow. Frank kicked the rear tire once with the steel toe of his boot, stared into the distant horizon of the Home Depot parking lot, and said: "That ain't going nowhere." He did not say it to me. He did not say it to the plywood. He said it to the universe. In Japan, we have a sacred concept called Kotodama—the spirit that dwells within spoken words. You do not speak lightly, for words decree reality. A samurai sheathes his katana with a quiet click of iron that ends the duel before the blood has cooled. Frank had just signed an executive treaty with the laws of Newtonian physics. Scholars would sneer at the double negative. Ain't. Nowhere. They are fools. In this republic, a double negative is not a grammatical failure. It is an iron oath that gravity has been officially notified. Until that strap is plucked, cargo is merely resting. Once the string sings, the cosmos surrenders. That evening, I went back to the store and purchased four 10,000-pound ratchet straps. I drive a small Japanese sedan. Yesterday, I bought a single half-gallon of whole milk and one carton of grade-A eggs. I strapped them to the passenger bucket seat. I cranked the iron mechanism until the synthetic leather screamed for mercy. I stepped onto the asphalt. I reached through the open window. I plucked the yellow webbing. TWANG. A young man pushing a long row of shopping carts stopped and looked at me. I kicked my front tire. I looked him dead in the eyes, without flinching, and said: "That ain't going nowhere." He did not laugh. He nodded once, touched the brim of his ballcap with two fingers, and walked on. On Interstate 40, you will see trucks carrying sofas, mattresses, and whole rusted riding mowers tilted thirty degrees into a howling headwind. Strangers look at them with terror. I look at them with complete peace. America is not held together by highway patrolmen or federal regulations. America is held together by four million working men who plucked an orange strap at dawn and dared the earth to challenge them. The milk arrived home without a spill. It knew better.

Gods DAMN these guys will say anything to skirt around the fact that their primary objective is helping the wealthy and corporations. GET RID OF THE WAGE CAP ON SOCIAL SECURITY TAXES

RFK Jr and Dr Oz have some pretty silly ideas about medicine..

Today is Tim Cook's last day as Apple's CEO 😔 Thank you for everything, Tim! It’s been an incredible 15 years!

Google bowed down to King Trump and immediately changed all its maps to reflect his latest proclamation. Search Lake Ontario and you get this crazy map of a Lake no one has ever heard of before last week. If the People ever get power again, Google and CBS need to be shut down.

Collecting postcards of architectural wonders is a hobby of mine. I love this building. It’s iconic.
