It is 2026.

The number of measles cases is reaching a point where we are seeing deaths from measles complications.

An unvaccinated 18 yo died from acute disseminated encephalomyelitis. That is a complication of measles.

You get what you vote for.🧪
Fourth measles-associated death reported in Pennsylvania

Remembering cooler days in northern Arizona, yes, it's actually been hotter in the Ozarks than in my Arizona hometown ☀️🥵☀️ But, aren't these lovely meadows filled with wildflowers a beautiful sight? 💛🏵🌼🌻🏞

Don’t believe the lies. Trump is *not* selling $2.8 billion of bombs for Israel’s genocide.

It’s worse.

Trump is *giving away* $2.8 billion of bombs for Israel’s genocide. American taxpayers are paying for those bombs.

I don’t believe the U.S. taxpayer should continue to arm Netanyahu’s government with deadly military equipment.

I believe Netanyahu is a war criminal and that his government has committed genocide in Gaza.

This doesn't make me antisemitic. (I’m Jewish, by the way.)
Trump’s planned sale of controversial bombs to Israel is largest in years

Donald Trump is the most corrupt president we've ever had, and it's not even close.

Just your yearly reminder that tomorrow, September 16, and not May 5th, is Mexico’s actual Independence Day.

ICE breaks car window inches from toddler's face-drag father out & tackle him to ground.

Mother first begs him don't surrender:
"¡No te entregues!"

Then tells him not to resist after they attack with excessive force:
"¡No te resistas!"

While their young son screams "¡Papa!"

This 😳 👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽
Two American teens were on their way to enlist in the Marines and serve their country, only to have their basic human rights violated. They were pepper sprayed, physically assaulted, and detained for 8 hours for the “crime” of filming ICE agents as they detained parents outside of a school.

I just got back from Ukraine—a country fighting every day for its survival.

Then I came home to this: a Putin-linked Russian oligarch paid hundreds of thousands of dollars toward Donald Trump Jr.’s wedding celebrations.

Don Jr. says he’s simply a close friend.

Uh huh

I hope he wins to replace McConnell, the people of Kentucky deserve someone who will actually be there to represent them 👇🏽
Public office means showing up, respecting the people you serve, and being accountable to them.

As Senator, I will always show up for our Commonwealth.

But, the fact that he and his staff refused to communicate, AT ALL, with Kentucky's constituents or the American people about what was really going on with him, all while collecting huge taxpayer funded incomes was/is soooooo wrong! 😠
Medical science has gone too far.

New Mexico Gov. Lujan Grisham: We’ve been New Mexico 250 years before we were America. It’s in our Constitution. Trump has no power to change our name. He continues to look foolish. Republicans at that convention were cheering. I guess they had to cheer anything he said since there was nobody there.

It took a lot of lives and much suffering for Mexico's Independence to happen, thank you for acknowledging this!
Mexico’s fight for independence is the triumph of a people determined to shape their own future.

Today, I was proud to be the first New York City Mayor to march in Sunset Park’s Mexican Independence Day Parade alongside a community that has fostered cultural pride across generations.

Beanie making frenzy still goes on, I have a lot of family to make warm winter accessories for (if winter ever comes, sheesh 🥵 still roasting in the Ozarks) In the past would mostly knit them, but crochet beanies (with a knitted ribbing, which I like better) are much faster to produce 🧶🪡🧶
