AOC: “It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.”
The President's disastrous decision to bomb Iran without authorization is a grave violation of the Constitution and Congressional War Powers.
He has impulsively risked launching a war that may ensnare us for generations.
It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.

There were so many incredible butterflies at my work this past week! Thousands of little orange ones. I got so many photos of kids holding them or them sitting on people's faces. It was adorable.

The people who beat Capitol Police with metal poles and fire extinguishers and sprayed them with bear spray - and killed people - think that yelling and graffiti aren’t forms of peaceful protest. I am so sick of hearing from them.

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

Sounds of Summer was the first CD I asked to buy as a kid. Wild Honey has always been my favorite song. You can imagine my frustration when the boy I had been dating for a while told me his uncle was Wilson's manager, and he had waited all that time to say anything about it. RIP Brian Wilson

An LAPD helicopter claimed to have ID'ed protesters from above and threatened to "come to your house." The threat was greeted with extreme concern by civil liberties and digital privacy groups. It suggests the LAPD could be using facial recognition to identify and retaliate against protesters.

The practice, an expert warns, could lead to "reprisals and retribution by the police for your politics.”

It's time for me to search for another therapist. I'm tired of her blaming my cognitive distortions on solar flares and moon phases. No, Kerry, I'm up at night because we're living through a fascist regime and work is stressful, not because the sun is putting out extra energy.

Some opinions no one asked for: - Most leaders are way too old and generally don't give a shit about the next generation. There should be term limits and age limits, especially for justices. - The two party system is trash, both sides fund genocide. - Draft dodgers should not get military parades.

When Trump... 
- holds a private dinner for his crypto coin buyers 
- promotes teslas on the white house driveway on behalf of a multi billionaire who spent $277m backing him 
- uses state visits to advance his hotel business 
It's corruption, plain and simple

Yesterday, my partner went on a hike with family and ran into a woman wearing a hat that said, "tough broads" they stopped to appreciate the hat and she said it's from a book she's featured in. Anyway, he did a little digging and holy shit do I want to be this woman.

Not only are they ignoring climate change—they’re trying to cover up the cost. Shutting down NOAA’s disaster tracking so we can’t see the BILLIONS it’s costing us? This ain’t solving the crisis—it’s hiding it.

US will stop tracking the costs of extreme weather fueled by climate change
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said it will no longer track the cost of weather disasters, including floods, heat waves, wildfires and more

Happy Cinco! What is happening at the border is cruel and inhumane. Mexicans are demonized constantly in the US, when in reality, we RELY on them.

Tyrants view educated citizens as their greatest enemy. Slaveholders stopped the enslaved from learning to read. Nazis burned books. Dictators censor media. That’s why Trump is attacking education, science, and the arts – to prevent us from learning. It's Fascism 101. [Cartoon by Adam Zyglis]

This morning, when I left my yurt to use the bathroom, I saw the camp bunny hanging out by my car. Then, I saw my first ceanothus moth of the season! Yay! Notice their feathery antennae.
Large ceanothus moth. Mostly wine/burgundy with crescent moons on its wings

How many banks and corporations have been bailed out in our lifetimes? Something people don't understand is how hard college was shoved down our throats, especially if we had poor economic status. We had all sorts of help applying for scholarships for the first year.

AmeriCorps NCCC was discontinued recently. In 2017, my crew was worried we'd be sent home mid project because DT didn't want to fund NCCC. My first project was responding to the 2016 floods, gutting the affected houses throughout Louisiana. Rambling🧵

One of my closest friends is a Vietnam vet who is now suffering from Parkinson's due to agent orange. He showed me true kindness when I was a fish out of water living in Kansas as a 20 yo. He volunteered with us even though the AmeriCorps sponsor was a different church than his.

We've been basing our goals as a society off of fiction novels meant to caution humans against ruining the earth (and being forced to seek haven on a barren wasteland). We don't need a colony on Mars. We need the elite to see the 99% as humans who belong on a LIVABLE Earth.
