Tending native trees and shrubs in the Pacific Northwest. Generally unhelpful, simplistic to the point of uselessness, anecdotal, or off topic

A Florida man was found dead in his home during a welfare check in July 2022. Weeks later, one of the officers who discovered his body moved into the home and spent years impersonating him, according to investigators.

This Black MAGA creator says she “cannot believe the disrespect” after being removed from a San Antonio rally hosted by Republican Senate candidate Ken Paxton!?!?! Why would they treat her this way???

No I do not like how Tina Kotek handled Preschool for all, moda center (and more), but all of that would be inconceivably worse under Drazan. And what Drazan would likely do to further endanger immigrants and trans people and restrict abortion rights? Voting my conscience is voting for Kotek.

This is outrageous. Un-American. Straight from an authoritarian playbook. ICE has no business knowing how you voted. It’s time to wake the hell up. Our democracy is under threat.

NEW ICE wants to build a nationwide database of voters, their voting history and, potentially, their party affiliations too. ....and it's willing to pay someone up to $5M to do it www.wired.com/story/ice-pl...

I have, with my own eyes, watched my tax dollars in the form of missiles as they hit buildings inhabited by civilians. I'd much prefer subsidizing a grocery story I don't use.

Opinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.

I had my car broken into and laptop stolen in front of a police station in San Francisco and when I walked in to report the crime the officer on duty asked what I wanted him to do about it

It’s so funny when people are like “sure you’re an abolitionist now but wait until you’re the victim of a property crime.” Buddy, the most useful thing the police have ever done for property crime is put the form you need to submit to your insurance online.

Finally waking up to some good news. Not my number 1 requested good news but good news nonetheless. This is like snack good news I hope will tide me over to dinner good news.

A proposed rule fueled by Trump’s conspiracy theories would require the USPS to keep a list of voters it believes should be allowed to vote by mail—and give them the power to hold those ballots hostage. Urge them to say NO and help protect voting by mail: act.standupamerica.com/letters/cte-...

I guess it wouldn’t be an attempt to return to Jim Crow without some abuse of state authority against uppity negroes.

The FBI has raided the office of Virginia Senate President Pro Tempore L Louise Lucas. This comes weeks after she spearheaded a redistricting effort in Virginia, netting up to four new blue seats.

I just introduced a War Powers Resolution to rein in Trump’s illegal war with Iran. Democrats are sending a clear message: we’re going to keep voting on these resolutions until they pass. Republicans need to fulfill their oath to the Constitution and vote YES.

Before and after of a day of hand releasing Oregon white oak from invasive English hawthorn. The hawthorn grows vinelike up into the canopy and is toxic to the oak branches. It starts at the base of the trunk from seeds dropped by birds. This time of year there are thousands of tiny sprouts.

It’s definitely escalated since I snagged these off twitter in 2020. It wasn’t him that posted these, though.

I’m not sure it has broken through to the general public that the president is a megalomaniac crazy person. Hopefully posts like this help.

I’m relieved Trump did not destroy an entire civilization last night, but his unhinged threat and illegal war make it clear he is unfit to serve as president. Trump needs to be removed from office. And we must oppose his administration’s new $1.5 trillion budget proposal for more war.

Donald Trump is openly threatening war crimes against the entirety of Iranian civilization. 25th Amendment proceedings must begin immediately, but if the Cabinet is too cowardly, the House should begin the impeachment process now.

We need to see your name on the list of representatives calling for impeachment.

Mr. President, I urge you to take the same energy (and money) you are using to fight in Iran and put it toward: 1. Training the next generation of tradesmen, health care professionals, tech workers, and writers—no more debt for higher education. [1/2]
