I have no patience for these comments. I'd love to talk about gardening, beekeeping, chickens, and local food, but I have to fight fascism so that I can ever hope to enjoy those things again. Also, permaculture has been radically political since day one. It's never been about gardening.

US rule of law straining at the seams. US science infrastructure choked and reeling. Academic freedom squealing like a pig. Global economy teetering on the edge of meltdown. Wall St CEOs self-censoring on earnings reports. It took them 81 days. Talk about American exceptionalism.

AOC: We must acknowledge the terrifying moment we are in right now. What we are hearing and seeing with our own eyes is, in fact, happening. We are watching our neighbors, students, and friends being fired, targeted, and disappeared. It is real.

So, the Trump admin was able to bring astronauts stuck in space back down to earth, but it won’t lift a finger to bring a Maryland dad they “oopsie” imprisoned in a gulag back from El Salvador? Do I have that just about right?

People ask me how I don't succumb to despair. 1. We don't really have that luxury 2. If I feel hopelessness creeping in, I reframe the situation to accurately see what's happening and what is to come: I am reminding myself that a post-Tr*mp era is coming and we decide what it looks like.

One man in CECOT "doesn’t even know that his child’s been born," his lawyer said. Another has muscular dystrophy affecting his right arm, per a court filing. The facts fit "every definition of an enforced disappearance under international law," an attorney told me. www.huffpost.com/entry/cecot-...

Chattel slavery ended in the U.S. because of war. It would have lasted into the 20th century were it not for the civil war which ended on April 9, 1865.

The House just passed its budget resolution, so reconciliation is now officially underway. This is their bill to destroy Medicaid and SNAP while cutting taxes disproportionately for the rich. THIS IS VERY REAL and can be enacted even if all Ds vote no. Thread on what's to come and WHERE TO FIGHT.

Happy Confederates Surrender Day. Enslavers lost. Don't forget that the fight for liberty in the US is always ongoing, and those who wish to profit off the domination and exploitation of Americans will face their day of surrender if we make them. The power lies with us. It's our liberty. Ours.

Can we get more of this? “The Japanese American National Museum will ‘scrub nothing,’ Fujioka said, and instead will highlight the importance of DEI. “Our community is based on diversity, equity is guaranteed to us in the Constitution, and inclusion is what we believe in,” Fujioka said.
