On the very-clearly-a-N@$i salute, why no amount of calling it out is going to work, and what to do instead. TLDR - you can’t shame the shameless but you can channel that anger into action youtu.be/Aa_5wmIxi2k?...

Trumpsters often say, “Politicians don’t keep it real or say what’s on their mind, but Trump does,” and that’s what they like about him. MAGA, please meet Anders Vistisen of Denmark… About Greenland: “Mr. Trump, f*ck off, It’s not for sale.”

“You may say that I’m a dreamer, but I’m not the only one.” AKA plant it & they will come. We live in #Chicago & ripping out our lawn in favor of tasty #NativePlants like shade-loving Asclepias exaltata brought numerous #MonarchButterflies to lay eggs & hatch cats in our front garden. #UrbsInHorto 🌱
