I stand with Rep. LaMonica McIver. This is a political stunt—point blank.

I am fucking furious at him and the decisions he made and every single person around him who enabled or protected him, and I also do not give even a tiny fraction of a shit about it right now nor can I imagine a single serious person doing so

EVERYTHING IS A SHAKEDOWN. That’s the rule of the Trump administration. It’s the only way Trump knows how to wield power, because he’s a stupid brute. He goes to people and says “Give me stuff or I’ll punish you.” He’s extorted law firms, universities, now he’s extorted a plane for himself.

Got a letter from our local food bank saying that if SNAP cuts are passed, they project a 77% increase in demand while food prices continue to rise. I just don't have words. This is my community. All of our communities. And they're going to take away food just to line billionaires' pockets.

This is genocide. We aren't just complicit in genocide. We are committing one right here at home. I would say that CECOT is the United States' Dachau, but we've been on this road for a while with Guantanamo Bay and CIA black sites across the world.

Cato has published my comprehensive review of the ~240 Venezuelans the US government renditioned 2 months ago to Salvador’s notorious prison. We identified FIFTY who came legally, never violated any immigration law, but are imprisoned at the US government’s request and at US taxpayer expense.

ICYMI: Trump's HHS Deputy Secretary nominee thinks FDA should “take a fresh look” at the settled science that proves mifepristone is safer than Tylenol—all because of a bogus new "study" funded by anti-abortion activists. Why? To rip away medication abortion from millions of women.

Today's Gardening Advice: When planning a garden, be sure to research the ultimate size of plants. Keep in mind that plants don't just stop growing when they reach a certain size. The Green Giant Arborvitae below may look the perfect size now for a foundation planting, but they reach 40-50' tall. 🌱

Pretty much every detained imm. court session now includes someone who is subject to mandatory ICE detention under the Laken Riley Act for no better reason than they were once charged with extremely minor theft offenses. Even if those charges were dismissed. I'm never forgiving Dems for this

I have, impossibly, had people in the trans community tell me with a straight face and an earnest voice that the country was more accepting of trans, same-sex-attracted people in the 80s and 90s and I do not have the words in my pretty extensive vocabulary to communicate how that made me feel.

Epicuticular wax gets its name from the location: upon the cuticle, which is the plant’s outer protective surface, the protective barrier from the outside elements. On fruits, like plums (📷: Peter Burka CCBYSA2), we call the wax a “bloom”—not to be confused with the flower! #wax #Botany 🌾🧪🌱

It’s absolutely fucking astounding how well they’ve sold and normalized this dystopian Orwell bullshit and how many Americans just swallow it as The Way. HEALTHCARE SHOULD NOT—NEVER EVER—BE BOUND TO YOUR EMPLOYMENT. THAT IS A COMPANY STORE TOKEN SHARECROPPER CON OF THE SICKEST MAGNITUDE.

This has been my issue with these programs from the beginning. AI and LLMs will reflect the biases of the people making them, they are not neutral. The open manipulation of Grok has laid that bare.

The Gestapo thing is rightly getting a lot of attention but I want to flag something else. That 413% increase. 1. Where does that number come from? 2. From what to what? 3. Over what time frame? 4. Have ICE officers been doing more stuff lately? 5. What are the raw numbers? How many assaults?

The Potentilla gracilis, Slender Cinquefoil, is starting to bloom. I grow it for the foliage, mound of palmate and toothed leaflets. The leaves move a little in the breeze, a little like grasses do. The flowers are a cute yellow and I managed to capture a tiny bee inside one. #nativeplants 🌱

The same people who say Adriana Smith should stay hooked up to machines so a fetus can gestate inside her dead body for 7 months because “it’s a sacrifice a mother would make” can’t fathom a mother crossing the border with her children in hopes of providing a better life for them.

If you don't want to be compared to the Gestapo, one neat trick is to not engage in a campaign of terror around the country wherein you kidnap people off the streets to slave dungeons in accommodation of an autocratic fascist and his nationalist movement's desire for racial purity.
