I thought this was brilliant. There’s no going back even if the immediate future looks uglier than the present. Well worth the longish read.

So when we first showed up at the Union Station today, we ran ICE off as soon as we got here.

Yes! Tomatoes are survivors! I throw the odd scrap of tomato in my compost and now I have plants everywhere. They are nuts! (Actually they are tomatoes 🙃 and gathering fruit from these volunteers is fun and delicious!)

Wow! I’d say it was Trump level thinking if he hadn’t denied FEMAs aid to flood victims here.

Gotta love the Scots.

This makes some very good points and would make me hopeful if we didn’t live in the political climate that we have.

Not a new plant but orchid advice from across the pond. In the British climate don’t fuss over it with sprays, misting, or any of that crap. Once a week, take it to the kitchen sink and really douse it with water. Take it back to its dappled light location. Fertilize occasionally. That’s it!

My rain lilies are blooming! We are just entering the rainy season and they got enough rain to decide to blossom. They will not do it for city water or anything else. So delicate and charming! A bright spot in a gloomy world!

This was a pot of purple dahlias. Now I’m battling iguanas with a spray of garlic and cayenne pepper run through the blender and then sieved. Of course it poured with rain the day after I sprayed but I’ll keep at it. They eat all my flowers and poop everywhere @gardennicola.bsky.social

Wow! Stunning.

Pope Francis was an advocate for the homeless, the marginalized, the vulnerable. We need more of this in our world to push back against the cruel and spiteful who abuse their power to make our world poorer.

Wow!

Beware the attack bunnies!

Trump, Musk and Republicans have launched a full assault on Social Security, firing staff, closing field offices and making it harder for Americans to access their hard-earned benefits. We’re joining Social Security Works on Tuesday, the Social Security Day of Action, to (once again) say: Hands Off!

This is very noticeable among students as well. Especially international students are increasingly reluctant to speak, even inside the classroom, because they are - understandably! rightfully! - frightened they might get punished by the regime.

It is heartbreaking and it makes me so fucking angry.

Thousands showed up at the West Palm demo! Nobody loathes him more than New York and Palm Beach—his “home towns.”

At the West Palm demo!
