A stormy sunrise from last week.

In the foreground are the silhouettes of trees. One branch of a tree is hanging right across the top of the photo. Above the horizon, the sky is bright yellow and gold but there are many grey storm clouds above that.

Mamdani: Oftentimes when we win elections, we tell people to go home and just trust us. But the message really has to be that we want you to come along with us… That’s something we’ve been looking to share with New Yorkers: We want to not only win with New Yorkers, but also govern with New Yorkers.

One of the most fascinating skies I've ever witnessed was at Seaside in Destin in November 2016 at Bud & Alley's. #PurpleSky #Sky #BlueSkyArtShow #Photos #Photography #Sunset #Sea #SeaSide #Beach #Waves #BudAndAlleys #30A #Florida #USA #Gulf

Working hard to be ancient, decadent Rome before the Fall. I hear Nero's tuning up his fiddle . . .

Sun setting over a restless sea, waves rolling in over the smooth rock slabs and turning white as the waves break over the shore.

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

Good morning and happy Friday! It's currently 27 in Colorado with our first snow blanketing the ground. I thought we could all use some warmth and a moment of zen to start the weekend. I took this video at Punaluu Black Sand Beach in Kona, Hawaii.

Stoke fear. Exploit desperation. Suspend the rule of law. Fan brutality.

Every time the stronger brutalize the weak, it’s fundamentally the same playbook.

Our duty is to stand up to brutality.

Our moral obligation is to protect the vulnerable and hold the powerful accountable.

The bottom 90% lost a collective $79 trillion in wages over the past 50 years.

Why? Because the top 1% ate up an increasingly larger share of the national income — so that $79 trillion flowed to them instead of the working class.

The greatest trick of all is trickle-down economics.
