First American citizen deported by Trump administration. georgiarecorder.com/2025/04/17/g...

It's likely the U.S. economy is heading toward a self-feeding death spiral. Has this been incentive enough for impeachment and removal? According to mainstream politicos, no, not until massive damage has already been done, meaning a second Great Depression.

The time to protest was during the Biden administration. What do you think the protests will look like when Trump starts deporting white middle class liberals to El Salvador? What will another 100 days look like?

Even if the whole tariff idea was scrapped today, many of the underlying problems like lack of trust, hostile trading partners, idiots in the cabinet and oppositional alliances will remain. The bounce is a reaction to news not circumstances.

One of my most prized plants, grown from seed. Wild pale Indian plantian, arnoglossum atriplicifolium. This is the start of year two but at some point it will grow 10ft tall.

To all those greedy fiscal conservatives who thought Trump would make them money.🥂 You earned this!

On one hand, the Corey Booker filibuster was a step in a good direction but it also falls into the category of performative change versus substantive change, the hallmark of the Dem party for decades now.

The yarrow I planted last year is emerging. I hoped to use some of it for medicine and divination.

Last winter I saw a double moon for the first time in my life. It only lasted a minute or so and it disappeared if I moved ten feet away but reappeared when I went back to the same spot.

Not all born again leftists are bad. The litmus test is whether they're raising existing leftists up or pulling them down to replace them with weakness.

I'm trying to come to terms with the fact that I'm more angry at neolibs co-opting leftist principles to rebrand themselves than I am mad at Magas. Magas are just xenophobic idiots. Dem reactionaries are entitled cowards who insist on leading everyone into a ditch.

Two years ago, protests could have forced change. Two years ago, collaborators could have been voted out. Two years ago, we could have turned this thing around. Biden Dems... too little, too fucking late. Everything you did was wrong. Legal protections are long gone. Thanks for the hopeful post tho.

The entitlement of Democratic leadership is nauseating. According to them, Indivisible is a radical left leaning group they can simply ignore. Get a grip! Addicted to losing.

Today I learned the term "objective social relationship" when describing race and racism.

I'm late on my seeds for the garden this year. 23 species of native plants. I wonder what new insects, birds and assorted critters will be visiting me this year.

I naively thought neighborhoods were run down and abandoned because of a lack of investment but the cascade of increasing vulnerability and exploitation was the true cause.

I only recently learned how many white people became millionaires stealing multigenerational wealth from black people through exploitative house contracts. They drained a family's wealth, evicted them and resold the same house multiple times. I saw the aftermath but didn't understand how and why.

Going to see Nosferatu which I believe is the old name for Santa Claus. Really need an uplifting Christmas romp right now.

As I understand it, puzuri are sculptural Latvian symbols from our deep past. They absorb bad spirits all winter and are burned at the spring equinox. This is my first attempt.

Have you seen the YouTube channel with the man playing classical piano to an elephant? On the one hand, the antithesis of postmodernism, the anthropomorphizing... but then the elephant seems pretty chill and theres something endearing about a dumbass trying to be kind to another living thing.

AOC, one of the most vibrant and charismatic speakers just got bumped by Nancy Pelosi, in favor of a 70yo who is dying. After this last election? Seriously? Wtf happened to the Democratic party? They're in free fall.
