This isn’t just about Trump. It’s about what America is willing to tolerate from a president…and what happens when accountability disappears. How much more is enough? #USDemocracy #RisingBlue

Please share this post. It is a devastating account of what this administration has done to a man promised protection if he and his family helped America during the Afghanistan war. #ProudBlue #DV1 #Pinks

Looking for another reason to crawl bare ass naked across broken glass for miles to vote against every Republican up and down the ballot in November? Here you go.👇

🔥 Here's Whitehouse's entire remarkable speech opposing Blanche: "What's left of this committee when we don't demand straight answers? How many times has DOJ been asked what became of the $50k that the FBI reported it handed to Homan? ... our R colleagues see no evil, hear no evil, & speak no evil."

Isn't it odd that the United States has enough money to suddenly run Venezuela, but not enough to run our own country? There is always cash in the piggy bank for bombs to kill people, but never for healthcare to keep them alive.

Bernie Sanders: "We need to be thinking seriously about a moratorium on data centers. You gotta slow this process down. It's not good enough for the oligarchs to tell us 'you adapt.' Are they gonna guarantee healthcare to all people? What are they gonna do when there are no jobs? Make housing free?"

Rick Steves act exemplifies true Christian charity. This is the type of faith an atheist like myself can respect.

Steves purchased the property to prevent it from closing. Many homeless people had come to depend on the Lynnwood Hygiene Center, which had operated rent-free on the property since 2020. n.pr/3MKbmJH

Your library card is the most priceless card you will ever own.

NY Times: “This a presidency that celebrates nastiness and spite, not empathy or grace, a reflection, perhaps, of a coarser era in American life.”

Some of the best movies ever made were by Rob Reiner. They made us laugh and think: The Princess Bride, When Harry Met Sally, A Few Good Men. And he was a force on screen as well in All in the Family and so many films. What a tragic loss. Words fail with news like this.

Screaming into the void.😱😱😱

Trump doesn’t pardon criminals to show mercy. He pardons them because he sees himself in the criminals he pardons. Self-absolution.

This is amazing!!

This guy! My yard has 6 feeders, but only 3 regular customers. Still, he feels the need to hoard these 2 for himself. Must be a One Percenter!

#Midterms One Big Ugly Bill push back!

@killwxve.bsky.social Pup-in-a-tub-day!

Checking in during a big move- in which I have been too busy to follow too much bs. Is he dead yet? Can I wake up secure in the knowledge that "the rapture" occurred & all those oh so pious magats have been ushered to their reward?

The grass! Lots of work ahead. I wish I could borrow a flock of sheep or goats for a week!

So, TACO Tuesday strikes again. Reversal on the statement of ICE easing up on workers in the farming, hotel & resort industries is back on. Again, nothing learned. No brain space available.

Morning musing: mere days following a report that his NJ golf club gets poor marks for food & cleanliness, suddenly "many good long time workers" are being swept up by ICE and now hotels, farms & presumably, golf resorts, will no longer be targeted. Did someone have a FAFO moment?

And should the lightning come to town It has one job- find the clown.

Rain, rain, stay this day; Help wash all those tanks away.

SpottedHorsemint taking over the backyard. Good for the bees & butterflies!

This time remove him!

Contemplating the total disconnect of the administration's push for anti science/reason/rational thought to a Xtian theocracy and the heavily promoted support of the Musk regime's push to Mars to "save humanity" I remember passages in a certain Xtian book to be stewards of this planet.

Love Poinciana! First bloom year.

Nom,nom,nom!

F--k the New York Times. I just canceled my subscription.

Tell me again why concern @ Biden's mental acuity vs the Tangerine man's mental actual ignorance is a big deal?

Snapshots of blossoms today in the yard.

Dear Humans, Here’s how it’s going to play out: 1. Republicans are going to attack Joe Biden until his last day and giddily celebrate his passing. 2. Then when Donald Trump inevitably passes away, and the world celebrates, these same people will feign outrage until the end of time. They suck.

ugh...figures..

STOP THE PARADE STOPTHE PARADE STOP THE PARADE STOP THE PARADE STOP THE PARADE STOP THE PARADE

First bloom year of my Poinciana.

America is celebrating Mother’s Day today. While only Trump is glee for his own holiday, Mother of All Corruption Day. And he calls it patriotic. My god how America has fallen. Someone should keep tab on Trump’s grift much like how the national debt is ballooning up and up.

A federal bill requiring law enforcement officers of all kinds to identify themselves would be a decent and arguably very pro-safety move. A few thoughts below.

Disturbing thought: How long (assuming they aren’t already) before rapists just start putting on masks, grabbing random women off the street & throwing them into a van? Apparently they just have to claim to be ICE and no one will bat an eye.

AOC: We need to be talking about ICE agents and the cowardly policy of covering their faces — and, in many cases, their identification… The idea that we’re going to allow a paramilitary force to bloom, one that isn’t accountable to the Constitution… we’ve got another thing coming.

When you make a Monty Python co-founder laugh out loud. 💕
