I have no idea when I took this sunrise photo, but it wasn't today since the sun is not yet up.

Destroying USAID will go down in history as one of the worst Trump foreign policy decisions in 2025. USAID needed reform, not dissolution. China didn't shut down its Belt & Road Initiative (BRI). Unilateral disarmament is not a rational strategy for competing with China.

Or, in the words of Al Sleet, the Hippy Dippy Weatherman, as he pointed to the weather map and said: "This is a Canadian Low, not to be confused with a Mexican High."
I just love that bit.😃

Illinois has been a leader in intrastate HSR. Amtrak's state-supported Lincoln Service (CHI-STL) has pockets of 110 mph travel between Joliet and Alton
My whole life we’ve been told that The US is simply too big to have high speed rail

I didn't know how to make a movie, so here's a screenshot of the wind app. The little green circle dot is Springfield, approximately. As you can see, we're in the middle of when the wind comes sweeping down the plains and the wind coming up from the warm Gulf. Something's going to happen.

This is really important. I won’t watch it either. I am already triggered just knowing about it, there’s no benefit to anyone that I watch it. I will continue to do the same activism against our current administration regardless. So if you are traumatized by this, it’s ok not to watch.
Reminder that you don’t have to traumatize yourself, you’re not obligated to do that as long as you’re staying informed and engaged. Many people will watch this and write about it and tell you the important things to know and it’s ok to protect your heart as much as you can

After being trashed numerous times by the Smothers Brothers, President Johnson wrote them:
"It is part of the price of leadership of this great and free nation to be the target of clever satirists... May we never grow so somber or self-important that we fail to appreciate the humor in our lives."
