I've said it before and I'll say it again: the GQP is a DEATH CULT. They WANT you to be broke, to be broken, to be sick, and to die early. It's crazy, and it's evil.

There is nothing more telling about the regime's economic policy ineptness than the turmoil in the bond market. It's about the closest one gets to a "pure market" and it's the source of much US soft economic power. Squandering that is criminal. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Today's harvest: tomatoes and zucchini. And a lone cucumber.🌱 A couple of notes: it's not actually "zucchini" it's an Italian summer squash called Romanesco. To our taste, far better than zucchini, and good even when it gets big.

Thank you to all who helped identify my caterpillar yesterday. It does indeed seem to be a sphinx moth. Makes sense because I do see the adult stage in my garden regularly. "Hummingbird moth" is another common name, anf how I know them. They do look like hummingbirds but built out a tin can! 🌱

I really, really, really want someone to confirm that Platner has officially filed paperwork to withdraw from the race with the State of Maine, because if he doesn't do it by (I think) 5 pm Monday, there can be no other Democratic candidate. And I don't trust him. At all

Got an insect-related garden question: can anyone tell me what this is? I'm pretty good on "bugs," but not so much on caterpiggles. Which I realize are also bugs but I hope you know what I mean.! 🌱
Caterpillar crawling up outside door frame. Trying to identify it. It's about 2" long, as big around as a pencil.

I don't want to hear politicians running on "we need to see each other as neighbors again" bullshit. No I want you to run on expanding the commons and offering actual SPACES in communities where people can gather across differences. That means no rhetoric but ACTUAL $$$ invested.

Is he really this stupid? Or is he slinging "fraud" bs because he knows MAGAts are stupid and it's a way to smear Obamacare? I suspect the latter. But my natural revulsion to this a**hole wants him to be this stupid.

Excellent piece. It's particularly useful because it shows how the regime's actions affect children as they grow. The GOP is a death cult. The evidence is clear. If you're not one of them, they want you dead. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

While speaking at the West Point commencement, Trump told the graduates that "under Biden, no one wanted to join the military." Every last member of the West Point class of 2026 joined the military under Biden, but Trump is too stupid, or too far gone with dementia, to understand that.
