This is Nazi rhetoric, full stop. It's not only a call to instigate a race war in the United States, but it's reminiscent of historic European justifications used to incite pogroms against Jews. People who say things like this are incredibly dangerous, as there is nothing they won't eventually do.

Watched lots of footage of civil rights protests in GA, AL and MS in the 1960s. Maybe some of you were there. Mike Collins acts, talks and behaves like a small town sheriff with a club in 1963 after the fire hoses got done. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Ossoff: "I think Pete Hegseth is frankly a deeply unwell person who seems to relish this kind of brutality all the while he's running a department that is falling into chaos. The guy cannot run the military competently and is spending his time with this kind of obscene medieval spectacle."

A giant cottonwood 'Grandmother Tree' was torn down in Lochiel, Arizona, to expand Trump's border wall. Despite activists trying to protect the 250-year-old tree for more than two months, DHS removed the tree as protesters screamed.

McKenzie Scott is a good case study that showcases we should tax the hell out of billionaires. She got $36billion, has given away like $25-$26billion and she is still worth around $35billion. There’s no reason for this to be happening while people are starving.

Trump's thoughtless invasion of Iran was meant to project American military power—instead, it has retrenched it, with American forces retreating from dozens of bases around the world and giving our adversaries a roadmap of how to resist US power.

From Iran to the U.K., Trump Is Being Forced Into Retreat

A war that was intended to demonstrate the reach of American power has now done the opposite. It is a lesson in unintended consequences.

Sometimes my wife and I like to send each other text messages as though they’re democratic fundraising messages, and I believe she has produced the jewel of the form.

, it's
and I
have some personal news to share with you.
Being a mom is one of the greatest joys of my life, and I feel deeply that we should have salad tonight
This year has been challenging in many ways, and I have immense gratitude for the kindness and support of family, community, and people like you who have continued to stand by me through everything. It means the world, and I wanted you to be among the first to know that squash is in the oven and kale is in the fridge.

As many of you are aware, ve been navigating one of the most challenging periods of my day while waiting for dinner.
Facing baseless federal hunger brought on by not eating since lunch, fighting for the working kids of this country, and now caring for a mean toddler and helping him grow up in a world that isn't always easy. But it has also reminded me exactly why I do this work and who I do it for.
I will never stop working to eat dinner. I will never stop fighting for what is right, even when there is also some feta in the fridge. And I will never stop being so very thankful that you are by my side in this important work and that there is tahini in the pantry for dressing
With love and gratitude,
stop to end

Fungi are important for breaking down woody debris into soil nutrients; here I propose that having two pit bulls in a partially wooded yard accomplishes a primary step in that nutrient cycling process.
