Done & dusted. Another excellent 1000-piece puzzle from @eeboo.bsky.social. While I was working on this I re-listened to Connie Willis’s Blackout and began the sequel, All Clear. They’re so good.

Colorado…

We expected 2,000 people out in GOP-held Greeley, Colorado. 11,000 people showed up. Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.

STRIKE THREATENED. Since T***p inauguration US therapy animals have been worked to death by their increasingly anxious/demanding humans. even unionized therapy animals have been forced into overtime without appropriate wage increases.

On Tyranny historian @timothysnyder.bsky.social, "It is hard to subvert a rule-of-law state without lawyers, or to hold show trials without judges. Authoritarians need obedient civil servants, and concentration camp directors seek businessmen interested in cheap labor."

People need to be crystal clear about something: The requirement that the government ANSWER to a court on the legal basis for detaining someone is literally the core liberty right (habeas corpus). If the government says they don’t have to do that bc “national security,” YOU can be disappeared.

Lookups for 'blue jays' have just overtaken lookups for 'cardinals.'

Wow. Mexico's President Claudia Sheinbaum officially recognizes Palestine as a state. Here she welcomes Palestinian ambassador Nadya Rasheed. Sheinbaum is Jewish, supports Palestinian self-determination, & unapologetically condemns Netanyahu's attacks on Gaza. Historic & inspiring leadership. ❤️✊🏽

Sometimes I do the same to my art 🙃 #lancasternj

"You won't believe this!--the two-legs' country is now on a travel advisory list for the UK & Germany--they are warning their citizens not to travel here--& we are stuck HERE."

When you send innocent people to a foreign gulag, you are not fighting terror. You are practicing it.

A friend of my compared gutting of federal agencies to a wrecking a car: if you remove 30% of the parts of the car, it does not go 30% slower. It stops working.

This is a US court of law, refusing to bar illegal actions of the Executive branch out of an explicit concern that its agents will react with deadly force.

Imagine calling yourself the master race and have to resort to erasing the achievements of minorities to make yourself feel better.

The #equinox is coming up tomorrow (March 20)! In #Miami, we'll get 12h 8m of daylight (7:24am-7:32pm), and the amount of daylight is increasing the most rapidly this time of year (91.6 seconds in a day). ☀️🌎 (by the way, our date of equal day & night was March 15)

Keep saying HABEAS CORPUS until the press twigs to this. It's taking wayyyyy too long. WAY. This is your assignment today: talk to someone about habeas. And be honest, if you don't know what it is, look it up quickly, and get it right!

habeas corpus is what keeps the government from grabbing anyone off the street and putting them in a dark hole forever. If the government can refuse to tell a court why it’s detaining you? how you planning on getting out? It’s a right that was afforded to all those J6 arrestees.

Due process “is how any of us can have confidence that the folks being packed onto airplanes and whisked off to El Salvador are members of TdA—as opposed to US citizens; political dissidents; or others whom the Trump administration would just as soon be rid of.” www.stevevladeck.com/p/bonus-133-...

I did hear him say that all you have do do is vote this time and you’ll never have to again. We fixed it.

Africa is the only continent in all four hemispheres.

They have so few artists willing to allow their music to be used. Really says something.

Granting a criminal absolute immunity and then putting him in charge of law enforcement turns out to be a mistake.

When the Germans think you’re a Nazi

Just sending my respect and support to this really cool climate scientist guy, Dr. Michael E. Mann. 💙💙 @michaelemann.bsky.social

Meet Esther! Pigeons beware—this aspiring Bengal will stop at nothing in her relentless pursuit of feathered foes... ...even launching herself at the window (closed) like a Looney Tunes character

Bravo

Getting into my ears next.

Tantalizing

Trump threatens to raise tariffs to numbers so high that “no one has ever seen before”

Tribalism only works when everyone is tribal. But one tribe cannot defeat a coalition of people who unite over transcendent principles rather than identity. It’s the Trumpists’ kryptonite. (And we can go back to arguing/debating with each other about things once we are through this)

#PlantMoreNatives The City of Lake Worth Beach, FL used mostly natives when they redesigned their beach area. I took this photo 9 years ago, but I was just there last week & the area still looks great. How sustainable! Read about natives & more: greengardeningmatters.blogspot.com/p/green-reso...
