Booker: "I confess that I have been imperfect. I confess that I've been inadequate to the moment. I've confess that the Democratic Party has made terrible mistakes that gave a lane to this demagogue. I confess we all must look in the mirror and say 'we will do better.'"

The calm of an English garden in spring time. I went to Hillier Gardens yesterday to enjoy the early blooms. The cocktail of fragrances and happy birdsong was soothing for the heart. A little spot of paradise. 🌺 #nature #calm #peace #flowers #garden #spring #trees #walk #life #photography

With everything happening in the US right now, how safe are scientific conferences for foreign participants in the US? I think this is something we have to discuss as a scientific community. I am hesitating to register for US meetings due to the unpredictable situation. Others who feel the same?

I know I post a lot of Cornish sunsets, and I hope it isn’t boring. I do it in the hope it offers people a moment of calm. I took this a few summers ago in Carbis Bay. Pause for a moment and drift away on the warm breeze. May it soothe you from any anxiety. Rest well, my friends. 😊 #nature #peace

He couldn’t even run a charity without breaking the law—Now he believes he’s in charge of the Supreme Court, Congress, our rights, and the U.S. justice system. Who’s going to stop him?!

CALLS ARE WORKING - it has bought us precious time, but we NEED to keep the pressure up. Tomorrow is the cloture vote. KEEP CALLING: (202) 224-3121 ☎️☎️☎️ Tell your Dem Senator to vote NO on Cloture and NO on the Republican spending bill. Do NOT assume your Senator will be good on this. Trust me.

Imagine this: On the evening of March 8, you and your spouse unlock the door to your apartment building. As you step inside, two men—not in uniform—push their way in behind you. They tell you your visa has been revoked and that they are there to deport you.

Per @jbendery.bsky.social: “Public health experts and web developers have teamed up to create a new website, RestoredCDC.org, to restore public health data that was on the CDC's website pre-Trump -- before his anti-science, anti-diversity purge of data.”

Tomorrow (March 5) is St Piran’s Day. He is the patron saint of Cornwall. The beach of Perranporth gets its name from the Cornish for St Piran’s Cove and is where he came ashore on his journey from Ireland. On the eve, here is a sunset from ‘St Piran’s Cove.’ Gool Peran Lowen 〓〓 #Cornwall #sunset

If you want to eat the most expensive eggs you’ve ever had in your life, you should have backyard chickens. Don’t get me wrong, I love them and have raised them, but they are an expensive hobby.

Mike Johnson forcibly removed @algreen.house.gov from the House chamber via the Sergeant at Arms after repeated disruptions during Trump's #SOTU speech tonight. Early in Trump's remarks, Democrats repeatedly interrupted him, with Green standing and shouting that Trump had no mandate.

People were killing themselves and eating their own horses to survive during the Depression. And I never forgot the book The Grapes of Wrath describing how the Salvation Army made people crawl on the dirt and bark like dogs to amuse them in the bread lines.

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism. We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

Trudeau: I want to speak first directly to the American people… your government has chosen to do this to you. Your government has chosen to put American jobs at risk. They have chosen to raise costs for American consumers on everyday essential items…

I’m conscious so many people are feeling anxious or angry. It’s because you care. It’s because you have heart and empathy for your fellow citizens. Take comfort from knowing you are not alone, and collectively we can create good in this world. Small to begin with, but it will grow. Rest well. 😊

That other Dems are there at all is an error. That they’re remaining after this is a grotesque embarrassment.
