It’s a very complicated oath of office, so you can understand why Trump wouldn’t be sure if he’s supposed to uphold the Constitution.

And why all those Constitutional experts in the MAGA movement can pretend it’s not a problem.

Just spoke with my CDC sources.

A surge of H5N1 bird flu cases is being detected in symptomatic farm workers. RFK Jr has reportedly instructed officials to be silent to keep the public in the dark and avoid disclosure.

This is how pandemics start with denial, suppression, and silence.

I’m exposing the Trump administration’s cover-up through direct CDC leaks.

I cover bird flu, COVID-19, TB, and more straight from CDC sources.

I need your support. Please Follow my page and spread the truth.

In many ways Fred Rogers was my first real teacher. I credit this man for teaching me at an early age that showing my feelings was okay and nothing to be ashamed of.

For a young man who did not have a father figure in his life this helped make me into the man I am today.

Fred Rogers was a national treasure and generations of adults today hold some of there core values because of him.

Captured with a Phase One IQ4-150 with the Rodenstock 23mm/5.6 HR Digaron-S. This is a very wide angle lens (the equivalent of about 16mm on a full frame 35mm camera) that makes Alcatraz seem particularly distant. A long exposure averaged out the waves and tufts of mist.

The San Francisco Bay likes to show off its weather. Karl the Fog moves fast. Everything can change very quickly.

I believe this was the last photo I made before the pandemic reduced my travels.

Years ago when that other social media platform wasn't a fascist platform, I resolved to never argue on it. That is my policy here as well. Discourse on the Internet or email or even in snail mail is extraordinarily difficult. (Yes there are records of flame wars from snail mail writers in the past!)
Over a beer or coffee is one thing but in text is quite another I am unwilling to partake in.

100%. This has been my core harangue for a decade. But some are starting to look past where we are, and where we might go. To his credit (for a change), Ezra Klein is being useful here. Check out his discussion with Chris Hayes on “Why is this happening” podcast.

A GoFundMe was setup for Ryan Hinton's family, the 18 year old cops killed last week.

It still hasn't hit it's modest $10k goal yet.

They haven't posted an update on the jailing of Ryan's father or his alleged role in killing a cop in revenge. But its clear this family will be needing support to any semblance of justice or fair investigation of Ryan's death.

Fifteen years ago we "snuck in" to Disneyland to elope guerilla-style (and thereby avoid paying Disneyland's insane event fees) but were caught in the act by Alice and the Mad Hatter. Instead of quietly alerting security, however, they insisted on being our attendants.

At the time, I thought this might be the strangest part of our marriage, but no. No, this was setting the tone for the ensuing decades.

Love you, @hopepunk, and so happy to be by your side.
