A few of weeks ago I posted about an iris I had waited 15 years to see bloom. It finally opened. It is correct! Please meet 'Voodoo'. Probably the only plant of it on the planet, and the only photograph of it since it's catalog shot from 1948. I am beyond thrilled. Now if it would just thrive! 🌱

Does the prospect of living that long excite you, or is it a source of dread? Do you look forward to decades of extra time or does living to 100 sound more like a threat?

This is the human cost of your MAGA cult delusion, and we're all paying for it now equally, however we voted. Ultimately, fascism doesn't choose sides, authoritarians don’t spare voting blocs, and sociopaths don’t hold any loyalties. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/the-tariff...

There is a difference between being informed and being wounded, and right now, we need to have the wisdom not to become martyrs of our own hearts. We have to slow down long enough to discern between staying informed and committing self-harm. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/stopping-t...

Nope, the Trump administration hasn't given up on trying to ban abortion. Just this week, RFK Jr. pushed a fake report about the abortion medication mifepristone. He's peddling misinformation so he can lay the groundwork for restricting abortion access no matter where you live.

And it was factually wrong. Because in the Dred Scott decision (1857) SCOTUS said that Black people could not be citizens. It rendered enslaved Black people AND free Black people stateless.The 14th Amendment overturned Dred Scott to ensure Black citizenship. Sauer just really liked saying “slaves.”

The Social Security Administration (per DOGE) instituted anti-fraud checks for benefit claims made over the phone. Only two out of over 110,000 claims had a high probability of fraud — a rate of .0018% But it slowed retirement claim processing by 25%. "Efficiency."

FLORIDA’S NEW IMMIGRATION FORCE: NO ICE, NO RULES DeSantis has deputized 100 Florida troopers as U.S. Marshals. That’s bigger than any 287(g) agreement — and way more dangerous. They can arrest, detain, and operate independently of ICE. It’s a rogue immigration unit under state control. #OnYourSide

Trump’s top lawyer told SCOTUS they "generally" follow court orders—but not always. So basically, obey when convenient. Authoritarian much? This blatant disregard for judicial authority exposes creeping authoritarianism at the heart of the Trump administration’s "legal stance."

SCOTUS Justice Jackson nailed Trump’s admin as “catch me if you can,” using legal loopholes to dodge court orders and break the law. Judges keep slamming their blatantly illegal moves, but the admin just doubles down on lawless tricks to avoid consequences.
