We expected 2,000 people out in GOP-held Greeley, Colorado. 11,000 people showed up. Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.

That is both messed up and disgraceful! You can’t just delete history! Arlington National Cemetery has removed information about prominent Black, Hispanic, and female service members, as well as topics such as the Civil War, from its website.

Green fungus with a woody stalk growing out of the forest floor. Leaves, sticks, and thick forest detritus all around.

No further debate—Trump’s DEI policy is clearly racist. The Pentagon is flagging for removal, historic photos of Black & brown heroes who served, claiming they “promote DEI.” The military was segregated until 1948. Black people served while facing racism. Where was the DEI? Erasure is the point.

Taking a break from anger and outrage. Let’s get ready for gardening and sharing our bounty with our communities. It’s something many of us can do to actively help each other. #garden #harvest #produce #sharing

Today wasn’t a meeting—it was an Oval Office ambush, and it was planned. Zelenskyy has thanked the U.S. and its president dozens of times. Everyone knows that—including Trump. But gratitude was never what he wanted; he wanted a spectacle. “This is going to be great television” - Donald Trump

The patience of a wire wrapping artist amazes me. I commissioned this piece a few years ago from a local artisan. #arachnid #artist ##bugsky #wirewrapping

Wire wrapped spider necklace hanging on my neck with a clear crystal in the head and a green stone in the abdomen. Background is a black shirt. There is room art on a wall in the distant background.
