Blooms live in centuries old rock formations , too! Evidently, hope springs eternal.

A purple flower stretches upward, growing from a crack in the sidewalk concrete

Like a stubborn bloom
Living in cracks of concrete
You cannot kill hope.

Also stop predicating discussion of truth and arguable import on how you think people will respond.

Let them decide.

Pre-deciding here for them is..sort of like helicopter parenting? Removing choices? Sheltering?

Let em’ figure out what they think already!

Sorry I can’t go. I have horse rehearsal. I have rehorsal. We rehearse the horses, all kinds. Usually there are a few of us at rehorsal and everyone has different kinds of horse for it. For horse rehearsal. Rehorsal

“THE GOOD PLACE” is my guess

An appeals court overturned that :(

Besides that ICE detainment is by administrative warrant, not judicial, and is illegal.

ICE is illegal and has been for many years because as a body politic we fail to reject brutal racism.

These ICE thugs fill the void, The Nothing of what we don’t resist. Or worse, what some of us want.

DAYUM 🙌

Passing this would codify their active wrong, medicaid and medicare cuts and cede more power.

A shutdown would give more room to fight.

NO on cloture. NO on CR.

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 They tell you your visa has been revoked and that they are there to deport you.

The acting head of the government’s human resources arm, Charles Ezell, is refusing to testify in tomorrow’s case that challenges the legality of the recent mass firings of federal workers. His absence raises serious questions—what is there to hide?

It's a start but they might only start to notice after a month?

Social Security Workers Aren’t Allowed to Read This Story New internet restrictions at the embattled SSA have cut off access to WIRED, along with other “general news” websites like The Washington Post and The New York Times.

NEW: WIRED got IP blocked by the Social Security Administration, among other outlets covering Musk's takeover.

Federal workers are now "prohibited" from accessing our reporting on "government-furnished equipment."

WaPo, NYT, and MSNBC are likewise banned, sources confirm.

18F was doing exactly the type of work that DOGE claims to want – yet we were eliminated shortly after midnight. Read our letter to the American people:

I’m trying to find context and I don’t: every time you say what?

This is evil. Pure evil.

It’s been happening in NM, too. 😠

Veterans gave it all for this country, but Trump and Musk just fired nearly 6,000 of them.

And where are the House Republicans?

. . . Selling out our Veterans to billionaires!!!

This is what a deal with the devil looks like👇

@housegop.bsky.social JUST VOTED TO CUT Medicaid, SNAP benefits, school meals, & housing assistance all in exchange for giving corporations & billionaires a tax cut all at the  expense of the middle class.

Never in our history has the US voted w/ Dictatorships at the expense of our Democratic allies—that is until today.  Trump has not only just ruined US credibility as a global leader, but set back the global fight for democratic values and peace.
