Farm Workers & Teachers should be the most respected people on Earth. Without them we would all be hungry & ignorant. Laughing & crying are both cathartic

I thought I had a saffron crocus but discovered instead the Autumn Crocus (Colchicum autumnale). Oops.

And a very good thought! We need to feed the people on this continent before we send gmo soy & corn for cattle on other continents

Drump is manipulating the market, obviously. On Friday he threatened huge tariffs on China, inspiring a massive sell off. Then this, according to CNBC: Over the weekend, President Donald Trump tried to calm worries about China in a post on Truth Social, saying it "will all be fine."

Thanks for the reminder. May I wear a black armband or should it be red?

Our Oregon Senator Merkley has refused his salary during the shutdown as he continues to work. I hope many other of our elected representatives & officials are doing the same

NOT behind every pedophile. There are plenty of pedophiles who have no females helping them.

I’ve read that the wealth disparity today is far greater than it was between kings & peasants. Especially in the worst dictatorships. Also ‘dictator’ might be harder for some to understand than ‘king’, but I agree with you. I mean, look at Arthur!

I find it thought provoking- the incongruity of the old low concrete wall in the background covered with modern graffiti art

The man climbing from the sewer appears to be resting comfortably. Perhaps it’s warm there.

“I spent three nights and three days in federal custody. During that time, I was never told what I was charged with, was not allowed to shower despite being covered in tear gas and pepper spray, had no phone call to my family, and no access to an attorney.” - George Retes, U.S. citizen and veteran.

I’m a US citizen and a veteran. ICE arrested me for no reason.

Jailed for three days without an explanation or ability to notify anyone, George Retes argues the only path to healing starts with the government taking accountability for its actions.

Antifa means anti-fascist.
Fascist means thugs & profiteers. We all know what thugs are, they’re bullies. Profiteers are those who don’t care who they hurt, so long as it brings them profit.
Is that who you voted for?

Its just the initial skirmish. Maybe there’s still a chance to stop it.

How sad that we continue to beat the natives even after they’ve been forced to retreat to the lands the white invaders didn’t want.

Ugh. I just heard about a different solar project being cancelled last night. Imagine being such a petty anti-intellectual tyrant that you’d rather make nearly 3,000 people continue living without electricity than let them install solar panels and battery storage.

A tribe in Arizona planned to connect 600 homes to electricity. Then the funding was cut

The Hopi Tribe received a multimillion-dollar federal grant to install solar panels and battery storage systems for hundreds of homes. But the Trump administration has canceled the funding.

Any chance it could just be delayed until sanity returns? It always has

The Administration

- raised taxes on clean energy with one big beautiful bill

- is stopping or making clean energy projects harder to be built

- is raising prices on materials with tariffs

- all while AI is spiking electricity demand

They are stopping supply while demand goes up

It’s a crisis

SCOOP: The Bureau of Land Management says the largest solar project in Nevada — the Esmeralda 7 mega-farm — has been canceled

The news was quietly dropped via a sudden website update with no public word from any of the companies involved or a statement from the agency
