The time to talk about what we want from candidates is NOW, well in advance of primaries, so we can spot people with potential and start building them up! We are participating in democracy! We have BEEN talking about this; one reason we're seeing a growing number of pols who align with our values!

The ICE camps are concentration camps. They should be called concentration camps. It is, of course, important to distinguish between concentration camps and death camps, but also, I am not sure we will know when or if we undergo the transition from concentration camps into death camps.

ICE threatening charges against people for asking supposed officers to show their badges is weakness. Not succeeding where they hoped to, left relying on threats that likely won’t go anywhere in court (harassment isn’t nothing, but it’s limited). It’s a sign to resist their abuses more, not less.

A host of caterpillars native to Hawaii use silk glands to spin protective cases studded w/lichen, sand & other materials. This one is the first to use ant heads & fly wings. Scientists found just 62 of the carnivorous caterpillars in over 20 years of observing. apnews.com/article/carn...

The United States is currently a country where you can be kidnapped by secret police and shipped off to a slave labour concentration camp without ever being charged with a crime or getting a chance to argue your case in front of a judge. If you think it can't happen to you, why do you think that?

A useful cheat sheet “I never unfriend people over politics” (h/t; mastodon.world/@BrianJopek/...)
I NEVER UNFRIEND PEOPLE OVER POLITICS
A Handy Guide to Understanding my Social Media Behavior

Here are some examples of Political Issues

"Should we levy another School tax this year?"
"Is the maximum building Height for this zone Appropriate, or should We alter it?"
"Do we need a light rail For our city?"
"How much of our state Budget should go to road Upkeep this year?"

I don't unfriend people Over stuff like this



Here are some examples of Not Political Issues

"Are gay people human beings?"
"Should women be paid the same As men?"
"Are Nazis bad?"
"Is extortion bad?"
"Are war crimes bad?"
"Why can't presidents abuse power?"
"Are black people bad?"

I unfriend people over stuff like this

They claim they can snatch people up, put them on planes, and deport them to a country run by an authoritarian, where those people will be forced to work slave labor at an inhumane prison. All without due process, and in defiance of federal courts. The hypotheticals are over. This is the nightmare.

*sigh* Totalitarian regimes are not ones in which people stop working. The world does not suddenly become tinged with sepia when you are no longer free. Sunlight will still shine. Jobs will still exist—indeed, the issue you may have is it becomes harder to not work than ever before.

Defend the liberty of a stranger as you would defend your own, or that of a loved one, because that is what's actually on the table—whether we are a society that will sit still as our neighbors are snatched in the night, and disappeared into darkness, or a society that will fight for each other.

We have to remember that the American public being misinformed and lacking knowledge of what’s happening right now is only their fault *to an extent* Our entire media ecosystem has been purchased and controlled by billionaires and oligarchs. A misinformed public is MANUFACTURED AND INTENTIONAL.

What currently looks like a bare stick is a newly transplanted pawpaw tree (Asimina triloba), one of several we received as a surprise donation & had to get in the ground today. I've got my fingers crossed that they survive. #IndigenousFoodways #CommunityOrchard #NativeTrees
Two bamboo poles demarcate a newly planted baby tree that currently looks like a 4 foot tall stick. The base of the tree is heavily mulched with wood chips.

About halfway through slicing veggies for soup I'm making in my biggest pot. Despite being first to cook I chop the onions last - that way I don't have to wash my chef's knife in between.
A large stainless steel stock pot, a glass mixing bowl filled with chopped carrots and zucchini, a white soup bowl of sliced celery, and a punnet of mushrooms crowd together on a stovetop.

Seed leaves of a 'Dazzling Blue' kale seedling. Some of the seedlings are nearly purple. Some a dark green shading towards teal. This one is a mid-green w/purplish tinge to the stem. Fascinating range of color.
Mid-green seed leaves emerge above brown cocoa coir.
