Me at #NoKings in Hilo #Hawaii today. Shortly after this was taken ti started raining cats and dogs.

@Chip_Unicorn That works. Mine says "VOTE!" on one side, and on the reverse is the image I used last time:

Caricature of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Next to him it reads, "After more than 60 years of effective measles vaccination..." with Kennedy saying, "Take vitamins."

Caption: Hey, Hey, RFK. How many kids did you kill today?

Today I dropped off my ballot at my county's dropbox -- something I've never done, but this year I don't trust #USPS. While I was there, a steady stream of people dropped off ballots. #Elections

Living through the #Trump presidency has a definite #TwilightZone feel.

Should someone like this decide whether your state gets any federal money (that you contribute to!) for schools, roads, hospitals, research? If the answer is no, write Congress now! […] [Original post on mas.to]

This time of year I always see lots of baby geckos around the house, always looking impossibly cute and so vulnerable. #gecko #reptiles #Hawaii

A tiny bit of #NoKings in Hilo #Hawaii. I haven't seen a crowd estimate, but we stretched at least half a mile down the street -- not bad for a town of 45,000 people.

Line of protesters holding signs along a tree-lined street. The most visible sign reads, "All Americans are antifa unless you are a fascist."

#Oil rockets past $108 a barrel and investors are freaking. Maybe the #IranWar wasn't a great idea.
