Plant/garden stan. If I’m here, I’m probably procrastinating/disassociating. Help yourself to my Lists, esp. my News It Or Lose It List feed.
Pinned
If my feed seems too empty, bland or cringe lately, sorry, but I’m actively trying to avoid posting negative stuff here. At least for a while, as I try not to add to the gloom & doom of [gestures all around us].

Also, I wonder whether Trump is being briefed on much of anything. His reaction to the press really seems like he had no idea that Bolsonaro had been arrested that day.

Might be nice for the press to dig into who’s really running the show, & how much Trump’s kept in the dark.

So, did Trump just give a vague bullshit answer to reporters, because he didn’t clearly hear the original question — & is too vain to admit he’s losing his hearing?

Or did he actually speak w Bolsonaro & make plans to meet — amidst Jair’s attempt to escape?

the corporate press softsells it, and "AI" gets all the attention, but this administration really is trying to impose a ban on all federal and state oversight of corporate power
Trump revives unpopular Ted Cruz plan to punish states that impose AI laws
Cruz plan to block broadband funding lost 99-1, but now it’s back—in Trump form.

Everyone in the green room thought dank should have been accepted here. Harrison challenged it at the break and he said they denied its use for either of the two parts of the clue. I still disagree

I figure Ken Burns has one, maybe two big documentary series in him before he fully retires. What do you think they should be? My votes include Football, Hip-Hop, World War 1, Reconstruction (though Skip Gates did this one well), Iraq/Afghanistan, 19th Century Expansionism.

Viola Fletcher, the oldest living survivor of the 1921 Tulsa race massacre, has died. She was 111.

"I have lived through the massacre every day. Our country may forget this history, but I cannot," she told Congress in 2021.

Geoff Bennett has more.

More of this, but also, emphasize that Congress could put a stop to a lot of this if the Republican members would step the fuck up.
Trump’s crimes will not be buried, and his deportation machine doesn’t get a free pass, not now, not ever.

We’re going to keep exposing the abuses, holding Trump and every immigration enforcement agency accountable, and making sure they answer for breaking the law.

Trump doesn’t read anything he doesn’t have to. And his reading comprehension is shit.

Also, his chief poster, Natalie “The Human Printer”, must have about 3 braincells. I bet she found this image posted by some other moron, & thought it was a perfect clap-back to the senators’ video.
He literally tweeted this out.
