Gardener, artist. Using my energy to help people learn to grow their own food as a way to create meaning during these trying times. Food scarcity concern is a big catalyst for this. It's all explained in my pinned thread. JOY IS RESISTANCE

It’s #BannedBooksWeek! Author Nikkolas Smith reminds us that when they ban books about justice and equality, they reveal their fear—not our failure.
The more they push back, the more creators will rise.
Art is resistance.
Stories are power.
Keep the fight alive.

Indiana voters: Let your legislators know you don’t like having elections rigged in your state.
Screenshot of a tweet from Gavin Newsom (@GavinNewsom) on X. The tweet reads: ‘Turns out… RIGGING ELECTIONS IS NOT POPULAR. Keep up the pressure. It’s working.’ Below it is an embedded tweet from journalist Adam Wren reporting that Donald Trump’s mid-cycle redistricting push in Indiana is stalling, with Republican officials warning the White House.

TENNESSEAN: “It’s unclear what state law authorizes the deployment of TN National Guard troops in Memphis… Neither Gov. Lee nor TN AG Skrmetti have explained the legal basis of the operation.”

They ignore their oath to the TN Constitution to score points w/ Trump. www.tennessean.com/story/news/p...

MAJOR new restrictions on federal government use of riot control weapons -- and even requiring them to display identification in many circumstances. I expect a very rapid appeal and request for a stay from the 7th Circuit.

Today, I'm announcing a new tenant to the Illinois Quantum and Microelectronics Park.

Pasqal will accelerate the size, scope, and pace of our ambition — including plans to scale their systems of computing power.

Inspiring confidence in the potential of our state and quantum.
Governor Pritzker speaks behind the podium as he announces Pasqal, a global leader in neutral-atom quantum computing, will establish their U.S. headquarters as a future tenant of the Illinois Quantum and Microelectronics Park (IQMP) on Chicago’s South Side.

I feel like a broken record, but I have to keep saying it over and over again: a farmer bailout won’t do much of anything because the market is gone. There will be no incentive to plant next year.

The bailout will help payoff farmer debt to the banks. That’s all.

Shapiro: I filed that amicus brief last night to make it very clear that the Pennsylvania National Guard is under my command.

The way the President has chosen to deploy the Guard in other states—and, in at least one case, deploy the Guard from one state into another—is extremely dangerous.

How much does Fox News pay if you go on one of their shows and claim to be a "Former ANTIFA Member"?

Because I'm ready to spill tea on the Real-Housewives-level shenanigans that go down in the 72-story ANTIFA corporate headquarters. Especially by the lab assistants on the Molotov Cocktail floor.

An artificial heart for children with congenital heart defects was almost finished. Families had waited for years it.

Then, Trump canceled billions in grants for universities — including the grant for this device.
