U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders # 2h • Bernie Sanders @SenSanders The Big, Beautiful Bill throws 16 million off health care & decimates our already broken system. I have an amendment to do the opposite. We EXPAND Medicare to cover dental, hearing & vision & pay for it by cutting prescription drug prices in half. Will any Republican support it?
This bill is literally taking food out of the mouths of children to give tax breaks to millionaires. It's wrong and it's immoral.
I'm urging all my colleagues to vote no so we can start over and work together to deliver a responsible, bipartisan spending bill.
Big Sur respite. The view from Nepenthe is life.
(next to an image of Trump wearing a crown that has been crossed out) NO KINGS MASS PROTEST JUNE 14, 2025
So what's next after today's May Day mobilizations?
On June 14, Trump wants tanks in the street and a made-for-TV display of dominance for his birthday.

Good trouble in Santa Cruz, CA. Hands off!
Show the men who have had procedures. Gaetz, Elon, Drumpf…how many others? They are equally grotesque.

Timeless suggestions!
three panel cartoon by @emilyscartoons.bsky.social … in the first panel one person says "let's not talk about politics any more, I can't bear it" and the other person replies "same." in the second panel, they say nothing. in the third panel, the first person yells "THE THING IS THOUGH" and the second person yells back "THOSE FUCKING IDIOTS"

These trees are redwoods in Northern California, springing back to life after being scorched in the CZU fires a few years ago. I hadn’t been to the big trees since way before that.
Currently editing a book by a 90-year-old. I may not be a senior-enough senior to write a compelling life story, so while I procrastinate on several memoirs, here is a mini painting I completed this weekend, done with Posca pens.
Well then, consider us connected! When I’m not editing and painting, I am writing. Nice to meet you, Adam.
Still not certain what I’m doing here, but here is a sleeping owl I painted on a crushed beverage can, mounted on an upcycled easel frame.
Hello, friends and colleagues.
Please tell me why you are here. Perhaps it will inspire me to figure out why I am here too. (Insert existentialist shrug.)
