Photography - books - gardening. I wanted this account to be about photos, native plants, and good things to read. But democracy is in trouble, so it’s just politics. Sorry!

No interruptions, please. We’re building universal child care.
Mayor Mamdani and a child play with Legos while looking very serious and concentrated. The child is impossibly adorable and wearing tiny blue glasses.

Obama: "We are living in a time where it can be hard to hope. Each day we wake up to some new assault on our democratic institutions. Another setback to the idea of the rule of law ... but this man - Rev. Jesse Jackson - inspires us to take a harder path ... bc if we don't step up, nobody else will"

Rep. Nancy Mace: "I believe Pam Bondi has been less than truthful with the American people and Congress on the Epstein files. I want to know where the files are that were on her desk, because they're not in the hands of Congress ... I want to know why this is continuing to be covered up."

Entering my Louise Erdrich era. I think after work I'm going to decorate some houses in The Sims and continue listening to The Sentence, narrated by the author. I'm about an hour in and hooked! Our library has a lot of her work. I've bought quite a few in paperback, but...I enjoy multitasking! 📚 🎮 🖥

Just a thought, maybe SecDef shouldn’t jerk himself off on live television at the thought of casualties in war. War isn’t something to be giddy about. Were the most powerful nation on the planet. We’re supposed to be the quiet professionals, not carnival barking morons.

It’s looking increasingly likely that Kristi Noem and Lewandowski funneled almost 200 million in government money to a company that is run by her friend and that nobody can give an address for. Oh, and it was 8 days old when it was awarded the contract.

We are entering a new planting and cropping season with far fewer farm workers. Farm jobs' minimum wage and working conditions are not palatable to Americans. Increasing gas prices from war and tariffs are going to make prices spike. Expect food prices to go even higher. #TrumpsWarOnOurEconomy

It's infuriating and frankly disrespectful to call our modern-day Gestapo, aka ICE, "law enforcement officers." They're nothing of the sort. Real law enforcement protects (or should protect) people. ICE terrorizes them.
