My husband finished my new front beds tonight. They're a good start on no dig gardening and replacing our front yard with food.

So the outlets that didn’t boycott when Trump showed them he didn’t give a fuck about any kind of press freedom are getting kicked out anyway, huh

Personally I think the bar for the US Senate should be higher than “able to move around and take nourishment”

Can't a fan enjoy some spaghetti in peace

Vaccines save lives. And no, they do not cause autism.

Taxes filed and paid. Still feels like a scam, this year especially

I've been teaching high schoolers how to read Shakespeare and craft arguments. It's fun to watch students learn and grow.

In the Pacific Northwest, there is a group that investigates pioneer (1850s+) trees, and they've recovered a number of "lost" apple strains. If you think Red Delicious tastes like an apple, you are missing out on real flavor. Save old varieties!

This administration ignoring court orders to return illegally deported people makes me wonder why loan forgiveness was not pushed through

I grew up in Oregon and I knew plenty of people with autism - I wasn't aware we were producing dumbfuck liars like Rich McCormick, though.

Uhhhh we definitely have fluoride in the water in some municipalities (like Corvallis, where he went to college)

WHAT PROCESS DID HE GET, SCOTT.

Thank you, Iowans.

Important but often overlooked part of the battle

Again, what do you people think I do all day? I'm literally educating the youth of America. If that's not fighting back, you missed the lesson from Mr. Rogers about looking for the helpers in times of trouble.

let them eat (the ingredients of) cake!

How many people are going to be disappeared in the meantime?

It’s tax day! Here’s how the US government used your taxes last year: The average tax payer contributed $3,700 towards weapons and war in 2024.

Apparently I got blocked for calling someone out on their armchair quarterback bullshit

What makes you assume I'm not? I am a public school teacher in special education. I'm on the front lines of this bullshit, all day every day.

one other way to think of this is that it is a massive program of upwards redistribution to wealthy business owners who can skimp on worker, consumer and environmental safety to juice profits for themselves www.nytimes.com/2025/04/15/u...

Learned a new word today. Thank you, Rebecca.

Yup

Note to fellow journos: If only one "economist" agrees w Trump tariffs—as evidenced by fact that this particular "economist" is now being interviewed and cited everywhere as only "expert" willing to publicly defend them—consider confirming that he's actually an "economist." Check CVs, for example.

This might be the stupidest fucking country in the world.

A movie from the year you turned 30.

He is moving compost 🥳

I have no idea what my husband is doing and I don't want to get out of bed to look and find out (I hope it's moving compost)
