Look for recipes for zucchini bread & zucchini cookies. You might think, yuck, veggie-flavored bread/cookies? But think of carrot cake--the zucchini doesn't add a veggie taste but lots of moisture & chewiness.

Flag Day / No Kings celebration today. A highlight was when the huge crowd hushed for a Langston Hughes' poem: "Let America be the dream the dreamers dreamed— Let it be that great strong land of love Where never kings connive nor tyrants scheme That any man be crushed by one above." #nokings

They're going to "liberate" LA??!! Noem said, "We are staying here to liberate this city from the socialist and the burdensome leadership that this governor and that this mayor have placed on this country." www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

Sen. Alex Padilla is forcibly removed from DHS Secretary Kristi Noem's news conference in Los Angeles

Noem was in L.A. to address the ongoing protests against President Donald Trump's immigration policies. Federal agents handcuffed Padilla after his removal.

If your city is destroyed in a hurricane this year, the United States will be too poor to help you rebuild. But if your city is trying to rebuild a democracy with peaceful protests, we have MILLIONS to deploy men with weapons to destroy you.

But the stupidity of tariffs & the certainy of recession were just fine before Trump hurt Elon's iddle widdle feelings!

But his immigration status & drug use were perfectly fine when he was rooting through sensitive data, slashing programs, and firing federal employees!

Mexico’s economy minister Marcelo Ebrard says, “It makes no sense for the United States to levy a tariff on a product in which you have a surplus.” Most of Trump's policies fall into the category of "It makes no sense to _____." www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Trump’s 50% tariffs on foreign steel and aluminum come into effect

Trading partners around the world express anger including Mexico which buys more steel out of the US than it sends the other way

A good economy doesn’t exploit resources; it values them. We’ve been taught that growth means more extraction, more harm. But what if growth meant healing? What if our economy was built to restore forests, to clean the oceans, to bring peace and feed the hungry?

When the topic is women the conflict is that women are failing society. When the topic is men it's that society is failing them.

Still trying to process the artistic masterpiece that is Sinners? This article provides a great analysis of "... a vampire slaughterhouse film that’s also a period piece about the near-impossibility of upward mobility in the segregation economy."

From the outside (US), I see a system that proclaims a person a member of royalty from birth & therefore a person requiring governmental protection. Being based on birth, it's a lifelong thing that goes on if even he quits cutting ribbons. He's 5th in line, prince for life, target on back--forever.

In their quest to "de-politicize," they hope we won't notice that their decision to stifle discussion of _____ amounts to political action against ____.

For all you gamers, some fun reading:

Aw, sorry to hear that! Hang in there & keep thinking about how much worse it would be to get shingles! Myself, I kept postponing the shot, & then my Mom told me about her friend who was going through a terrible bout with shingles--painful, debilitating--& I was like, OK, I'm getting the shot.

Lies. Subway = freedom to go anywhere in the city at low cost. On my recent NYC trip, I took the subway uptown, downtown, east side, west side, day, night--"dirty" enough to use hand sanitizer after touching poles, rails etc., but no harm to clothes, backpacks, etc. Violence? None anywhere we went.

Now is a good time to think about empathy. Who do you consider "worthy" of your empathy? (Who's your neighbor?) How will you act on your empathy? (How much will you risk to help your neighbor?) If the loss of empathy is barbarism, we need to cultivate empathy, and sow it.

Reminds me of the 1980s in our town in Idaho: City bond initiative failed, street budget was cut, potholes everywhere. My Mom said, "If they really wanted to, they'd come up with the money." She saw the bond as a scam benefiting who knows whom. Bad roads mattered less than sticking it to "them."

What a lovely scene! You are making me think of Meghan (Markle) Sussex's Netflix show, which is basically all about what you're doing here--celebrating the everyday, making meals and moments special. Thanks for sharing this!

Dear Leader is good for the country. Dear Leader is good for the economy. Dear Leader is the ideal person to have in power at this point in history. Dear Leader is smart and wise and does not in any way pose a dire threat to our lives or livelihoods.

Dear Leader is a rational human being who makes wise decisions & is fully competent to take actions impacting global trade, economic stability, and people's lives. There is nothing rash, nonsensical, self-serving, maniacal, sociopathic, or terrifying in any of his recent (or future) actions.

My mother called Social Security last summer after my Dad died, to notify them of his death & to see if she qualified for death/survivor benefits.
