I know this first hand. When I was a child, my entire community was branded as spies and sabateurs, justifying our internment inside barbed wire camps for years without due process, trial or charge.

We are fighting like hell to stop Musk’s staffers. They come into our buildings, forcibly removing us with the FBI, U.S. Marshals, and police. This coup must be stopped.

We are members of Congress at the Treasury Department. We want to be let in to provide oversight on behalf of our constituents. @jasmineforus.bsky.social @sethmagaziner.bsky.social

After Rubio spoke, a U.S. official said the Trump administration had no current plans to try to deport American citizens but called Bukele’s offer significant. The U.S. government cannot deport American citizens, and such a move would be met with significant legal challenges. to.pbs.org/4hzCq8y

I’ve been wondering what the Congress is doing to respond. Here’s some action. They haven’t laid down: they do have significant obstacles though. www.axios.com/2025/02/03/h...

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

Never forget that bullies back down when confronted head-on. Expect this MO on repeat - setting things up to see what we let them get away with, then pulling it back when challenged. Stay in their faces. Don’t let them get away with lawbreaking, even for a minute. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/29/u...

ANYWAY, sorry, here's a bird. Pause and regard the bird. The bird is happy, for the bird has found a peanut. May we all find the small joy of finding a tasty snack today. (photo by me)

Go Bills!!!

My NewYear’s resolution is to spend more time with plants and animals.

Well, that didn’t hardly take any time at all. FAFO fortune.com/2025/01/21/v...

Word of the day….

Go Bills!!

President Biden says the Equal Rights Amendment is “the law of the land" but there's still another step -- and a legal fight -- ahead.

Chuffed that my book “Penelope Unweaving” made it on to Sappho’s Torque Reading List for 2024! 🥳❤️ sapphostorque.com/2025/01/16/2...

With everything so seemingly terrible these days & no sign of anything remotely hopeful in the near future, I thought you might need this photo of a baby giraffe.

Hmmm, curiouser and curiouser…

ABC, NBC & CBS dedicated about 16 minutes of airtime last night to the California wildfires without once mentioning climate change. Since the news failed do it's job, here's a short summary of the role of climate change and wildfire risk: www.noaa.gov/noaa-wildfir...
