When we call for politicians to "do something," this is what we mean. Not speeches or op-eds or campaign rallies, but using every tool available to disrupt the advance of fascism.

I’ve had a busy week, so I wasn’t able to write my usual Flower Child post. As luck would have it, Sarah Fay invited me to participate in a Substack Live yesterday about the use of AI on Substack. Please enjoy the recording here of our discussion: flowerchild.substack.com/p/whats-your...

If these small towns are emptying out, are there really millions of people in them as this claims? I feel bad for these people and they should be helped. Just wondering what the actual demographic is.

MTG just spent the past month doing insider trading which should land her in handcuffs, yet protesters at her event were arrested. She's a Nazi bitch using Gestapo tactics. You can read in the thread below how Nazified her event was as well.

There is a much too rarely mentioned but essential difference between Donald Trump and Abrego Garcia: Abrego Garcia is not a convicted felon.

Why is she talking about Abrego Garcia in the past tense?

This is not just about one hairdresser, though his life is important. They could come for any of us.

Things I usually worry about when flying and leaving my fam home: 1. How dirty is it gonna be when I return ? 2. Will they be okay without me? 3. Who’s gonna water my flowers? Things I worry about now, in addition to the above: 1. Am I gonna get detained and sent to a prison camp? #MomSky

Just so we’re clear on this. Abrego Garcia is the test to see how far the Administration can go and at what consequence. The U.S is paying El Salvador $6 million to imprison 300 undesirables for a year. Garcia is being used to see what the Administration and foreign governments can get away with.

The first editing class I ever took covered the basics, like capitalization. For example, do you capitalize cheddar, Stilton, mozzarella, Brie? Someone in the class missed the point. Read about why I'll never forget her in this week's Flower Child.

"The 2024 election wasn’t a restaurant where you could order cheaper eggs but politely ask for the server to hold the fascism. You’re still getting the fascism, and your eggs aren’t just overpriced now, they’re broken and rotten." -- @playtyperguy.com

Truly unbelievable that any Democrat would vote for this. Except these days, just about anything is believable.

That’s what I’ve thought since I was old enough to think about it: it’s all about fear.

A year or two ago, I mentioned to my husband that if I didn’t wash our sheets, they’d never get washed. He responded, “You can assign that to me!” Wait: Why should I have to assign him a household task that affects us both? Short 🧵

It won’t happen. But in theory, a few republicans could do the right thing and help stop the madness.

Absolutely proud of you all! HUG! So far, 3.1 million protesters counted today — that’s nearly 1% of the U.S. population! Photos are flooding social media everywhere. Still waiting on more numbers to come in.

My IRA is down $27K in one day, $50K from last year at this time. How is that supposed to help? (And I know it's a long-term investment, but I am 63, so ...)
