Blanche is going to drag Cassidy Hutchinson through the MAGA DoJ mud just to satisfy Psycho Prez's broken ego. Meanwhile, Butt Boy Blanche is stonewalling the prosecution of the Epstein perps. Let that sink in.

My double red hibiscus bush is doing well. It was a surprise to see the bloom type. I bought it without blooms and no tag for identification. Big blooms that are a bit heavy for some side branches.

Jackmanii has large dark purple flowers and blooms a long time. You would need a very tall trellis. It must get as tall as an old fashioned lilac bush!

Oh my, what a shame to lose so many. I think mulching them fairly thick helps. They like cool roots with tops in sun. Yours is very pretty.

For months Gabriela Soto has relentlessly advocated for her husband Martin, unlawfully detained by ICE while buying diapers for their baby. Martin played a key role in the Delaney Hall hunger strike this summer. Last night we was RELEASED from ICE custody. ALWAYS FIGHT BACK.
Beautiful young family outside a detention center.

Police violently drag Hispanic grandmother across rough ground-injuring both arms. Witnesses yell she has a serious heart condition & was just released from hospital. Cops kneel on her chest anyway. "They dragged her like a doll," brother said. Incident occurred in Batesville, Texas

🚨BREAKING: GOP lawyer Cleta Mitchell and convicted election denier Tina Peters are pushing a scheme to have Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick seize voting machines, as part of a broader effort for the Trump administration to interfere with the midterm vote. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Election deniers Cleta Mitchell and Tina Peters want Trump’s commerce secretary to seize voting machines
The problem? No federal official can seize control of election administration from the states and counties, who hold the power run elections under the U.S. Constitution.

That's slapping all of them when many aren't like that. There are many who live good lives and care for others. And many are awakening to how badly things are going under our present leadership. It's our foreign enemies who wish us severely divided.

"We ask women why they don't come forward when sexually assaulted. It's because we live in a world where an abuser can become president.
Disgusting. Trump says he feels bad for the seven Cornell students accused of rape, and his biggest worry is that they "won't get a fair shake" with Letitia James as special prosecutor.

Not one word for the victim.
