"Ramiro" says, "We’re in the final stretch of the summer strawberry season on CAs Central Coast. We get 3 good months of work. Then in Nov-March, there’s no work. We try to use the little we’ve saved to get through those hard months. It's hard as rent's very expensive. #WeFeedYou

A dog went out on a boat with his human. She jumped in for a swim, and when she came back, the dog had made friends with a whale shark 🥰

Why not just take out Mar-a-Lago, while he's there... this is a small sacrifice we are willing to make. No need to target our cities. Many of us are against this war. Punish only your real enemies. You know who they are. You know where they live. The rest of us are trying to end this administration.

When they lied about policy or statistics repeatedly or tried to shift blame elsewhere they fooled a lot of gullible people. But when they started lying about things that even the cult knows more about than these out of touch weirdos, that’s when they lost the plot.

#OTD in 2009 biologist Dr. Carolyn Greider & biochemist Dr. Elizabeth Blackburn shared the #Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine (w/J. Szostak) for discovering of telomerase & how chromosomes are protected by telomeres. Monumental implications for the #aging & #cancer research fields. #WomenInSTEM
A portrait-style photograph of American molecular biologist Dr. Carol W. Greider (born April 15, 1961) on the left, standing slightly ahead of Australian-American molecular biologist Dr. Elizabeth Blackburn (born November 26, 1948) on the right. Both women are positioned from the chest up, smiling warmly and directly at the camera against a minimalist, seamless off-white background. Dr. Greider wears a vibrant, structured red coat over a cream-colored top, her shoulder-length blonde hair parted in the middle and framing her bright expression. Dr. Blackburn wears a heavy, charcoal-grey tweed coat over a black shirt, accessorized with a delicate gold chain necklace bearing a round pendant. She has light brown, shoulder-length hair and thin-rimmed oval glasses. The lighting is soft and even, highlighting their joyful expressions in a mood of shared triumph and deep professional camaraderie. Taken in March 2009, shortly before they jointly received the 2009 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, this image holds profound historical significance, representing a landmark celebration of their co-discovery of the enzyme telomerase and its role in chromosome protection.

Farm workers are knocking on doors asking voters to vote for Randy Villegas for CD 22. Since they began last week, they've knocked on 4,986 Spanish language doors to a great response. Their message is simple. Randy supports farm workers. Support us by voting for Randy Villegas.

The day started off with great news, with a historic win stopping wall construction across Big Bend in Texas. Then came the news about the "Grandmother" Cottonwood tree in Arizona. After 71 days of protesting, the Border Agents arrested folks and killed the last remaining tree. Why? What the fuck! 🤬

#OTD in 2015, Chinese pharmaceutical chemist & malariologist Tu Youyou won the #Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine "for her discoveries concerning a novel therapy against Malaria." The therapy saved millions of lives—particularly across Asia, Africa, and South America. #wow #WomenInSTEM
A close-up photograph captures Tu Youyou (born 1930), the historic Chinese pharmaceutical chemist, malariologist, and educator who won the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for discovering artemisinin, a breakthrough malaria therapy that saved millions of lives globally. She is positioned on the left side of the composition, facing forward while gazing warmly toward the right with a soft, gentle smile and thoughtful eyes. She wears thin, oval-shaped metallic eyeglasses secured by a black beaded lanyard chain draped over her ears, and a textured, dark red knit sweater featuring a black pattern around the collar. Her dark hair is styled back in a voluminous, short cut. The minimalist background consists of a solid, dark slate-blue wall with the blurry top of a white ceramic teapot visible in the lower right corner, casting a peaceful, revered, and deeply dignified mood that honors her immense contribution to global public health.

How is it not news when the president nods off in public meetings and press conferences dozens of times? If you follow independent media, you see it and know about it. But why hasn’t CBS, NBC or ABC showed a montage of it on their evening news? They simply refuse to ever show it.
