I love lavender! Here is my collection in a raised planter shaded by a peach tree on the north and a fence shade cloth on the south. I planted 10 varieties last April. All are making it through brutal dry heat of 113 degrees and all bloomed in May. A little leggy due to heavy shade, but alive.

My MAGA family members are excited to visit Washington DC this fall to see all the restored waterfountains. Out of respect for me the elder lone D of the family (ResistNoKings protests) they dont worship the Dotard in front of me. We ignore the huge orange problems for family happiness.

I was amazed at Americans with Disabilities' FB photo post where magas were defending their dear leader. I bet everyone has their own top ten list of trump's disgusting behavior that you would not teach your children. Here's mine:

Wow BOA just sent a letter telling me my CD interest rate just dropped from 4% to 1%.I paid my house taxes with that little bit of money my savings earned. Im a retiree on a fixed income, but you go right ahead Mr. genius president, have your bday cage fight, and enjoy the billions you stole from us

When a King and direct descendent of King George III has to remind the American government about the utmost importance of checks and balances, you know we're in deep trouble.

HAPPY EARTH DAY I grew up and live in the Sonoran Desert, but I love visiting Oregon's beautiful coastline. This beach just happens to be named Arizona Beach which thrills all of us zany Zonies.

The tropical Barbados cherry does well in the Arizona desert. Also called acerola, it is high in vitamin C. My favorite breakfast is stuffing crepes with lemon curd and fresh picked Barbados cherries.

My X twitter account was suspended because I expressed my moral values on the White House, Rapid Reponse, and every Republican representative social page I could find. Elon Musk is actively censoring opposition of the Trump regime on social media. Here is what I wrote. #Trump #ElonMusk

Yeah there’s a lot going on, but ALSO did you know there’s a bird called the “many-coloured rush tyrant” and it looks like this?? I mean, look at him. #birds #nature

My fishing buddy just recently told me that he has been pulled over by ICE five times now. He never asks them why they stop him to check his ID. He is polite and does what they ask. He is proud of his Michoacan heritage as a first generation American.

On X every time I post a reply about trump's fraud and lies on the white house account, I get all these creepy ho*s following me with come hither replies. Elon & big balls are creepy pervs.

Defending rude, indecent, and misogynistic conduct as "frankness" and "transparency." What a role model.

Q: What did the president mean when he called a reporter "piggy"? LEAVITT: Look, the president is very frank & honest with everyone in this room. You'll all seen it yourself. You've all experienced it yourselves. And I think it's one of the many reasons the American people reelected this president

A Trump supporter started murdering his way through an assassination list of Democratic law makers FIVE MONTHS AGO. He murdered my colleague Melissa Hortman, and her husband Mark — and attempted to assassinate my dear friend John Hoffman and his wife Yvette. I was also on the hit list. WTF

Hours after Border Patrol swept through Charlotte, protesters filled uptown with courage, not fear. They marched peacefully, stood united, and refused to be intimidated. Charlotte showed up. And it showed strength.💪

Trump on July 31 when asked about the ballroom: “It won’t interfere with the current building. It will be near it but not touching it, and pays total respect to the existing building, which I’m the biggest fan of. It’s my favorite. It’s my favorite place. I love it.”

My friend Tracy has debilitating back pain and fused vertebrae and I recently had a knee replacement. We too both felt strongly that it is our duty to protest against the cruel dictator trump. We saw many, many disabled Veterans in wheelchairs and walkers at the No Kings protest.

National Democrats asked a judge 11th March 2025 to issue a preliminary injunction halting an executive order signed by President Trump that gives him more control over the Federal Election Commission. This is the first step to Trump taking control over all elections. (CBS news) #trump #elections

SATURDAY I protested against tyranny at No Kings. SUNDAY trump posts a video of himself sh*tting on 7 million law abiding citizens. MONDAY to prove that he has Plenary Authority over us, he destroys the East wing of our House. He lied yet again when he said he had respect and would not touch it.

🚨WATCH: This is what Trump doesn’t want you to know about his rotten deal with El Salvador. In exchange for Bukele imprisoning people abducted from the US, like Abrego Garcia, Trump stopped investigations into MS-13 suspects who could testify about Bukele’s collusion with MS-13:

If the GOP bill passes, a lot of folks who have grandma in a nursing home will need to take her back home. Do voters across the rural states this will impact the most understand that?

Stunning how media has turned passage of the Abominable Bill into a will they-or-won't they romcom with a July 4th deadline for Cinderella to kiss the prince, rather than a situation in which multiple members of Congress say they're terrified they or their families will be killed if they cross Trump

Warnock: A budget is not just a fiscal document. A budget is a moral document. Show me your budget and I'll show you who you think matters and who doesn't. And if this awful budget were an EKG, it would suggest that our nation has a heart problem and is in need of moral surgery

Kids, seniors, & working families will suffer because of Republicans’ disgusting plan to take away healthcare, jobs, & food assistance from millions. All to pay for $200 billion in tax breaks for multimillionaires. They’re stealing from you to give even more to the top 1%.

Whoa! Alligator Alcatraz is going to be complete by Tuesday and open for operation on Wednesday. Am I the only one wondering how Ron DeSantis got this together so fast? Floridians, make sure you remember this the next time a hurricane hits and you can’t get disaster relief in your state.
