My favorite 🌍!
Such beauty.

It was always going to be this. Spineless isn’t a temporary condition. Neither is losing your honor. But they don’t care because it’s about power and only power. And corruption.

This confirmation will damn us all. Watch what they do next. They’re just getting started.

@Bertrom It is a trumpet duet in the garden!

@Bertrom I grew up in the era of "Come on people now, smile on your brother" and how far we've come from that, even in my lifetime. No one wants to learn from history, to be curious about and accepting of our neighbors; it is far easier to be militantly stupid (at least in this country).

[Joyce Carol Oates @JoyceCarolOates]

more than one hundred years ago a young man named Upton Sinclair, living in a small cabin about two miles from this house, on Rosedale Rd., Princeton, wrote a novel exposing the unspeakably filthy conditions of meat-packing in Chicago, titled "The Jungle." President Teddy Roosevelt read the novel, his stomach (which was considerable) was turned, he called Sinclair to the White House, & soon thereafter laws were passed to regulate (to some degree) the meat-packing industry.
Today we don't have a US president who can read, let alone read an entire novel; we have a US president who has deregulated industries that provide food & medicine for us, to our detriment.

@Bertrom The light around the blue curtain. Nice.

[Dawn Hawk @Dawn_Hawk]

@Bertrom Wonderful. And there was a lot of chemistry involved in making a single plate back then.

“Their names were scratched off or taken off a list in the Pentagon. To me, it is abhorrent, it’s criminal.”

Lt. Gen. @MarkHertling fights back tears as he describes the military’s last roll call, and what it means to erase four fallen soldiers from the Pentagon’s casualty list.

We used to have electric trains on the lower deck of the Bay Bridge.

By 1958, they were gone, systematically eliminated by design.

We had a cheap, efficient, practically pollution-free transit system, the nucleus of what could have been the best and most extensive in the world, until the automobile industry and its allies coldly orchestrated its complete destruction.

Harre Demoro was a longtime Bay Area journalist and author of more than a dozen books on urban transportation. While at the Oakland Tribune, he covered BART’s design and engineering; that work is reported to have earned him a 1968 journalism medal from the National Society of Professional Engineers for “The Most Significant Writing on Engineering.”

For whatever we lose (like a you or a me), it's always ourselves we find in the sea.

Trump’s DOJ is making it possible to buy a gun online and have it delivered directly to your doorstep. A company called GrabAGun stands to reap big profits. You’ll never guess who owns it. https://t.co/14k1EN9R4t

@Bertrom Another discovery, thank you. Learned: "Bubley received her big break in 1942 when she was hired as a darkroom assistant for Roy Stryker, the famed head of the photographic unit of the Office of War Information (OWI) in Washington, D.C."

@Bertrom I love Paul Strand's work. I don't know this one. What a looming and overwhelming presence the big city is in this image.

[Dawn Hawk @Dawn_Hawk]

@Bertrom Hahaha.

[Dawn Hawk @Dawn_Hawk]

@Bertrom Yes. I was able to see a wonderful Consuelo Kanaga exhibit a year ago at the Brooklyn Art Museum; I went with a friend who is distantly (but fondly) related to her.

[Dawn Hawk @Dawn_Hawk]

@Bertrom Grateful for the long hours in the darkness and the coolth of the Pacific Film Archives in Berkeley, for this first splashdown into Chris Marker, and the power of assembling stills to make a film. Sans Soleil also haunts me.

The competition to be the most unlawful and vile and amoral member of this administration is the true World Cup
