“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.”

A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

Love this idea

Ty for the laugh

Ty for the help

I'm sorry to bother you. Where do I find the plant stamp you are using..so that I can have posts in the gardening thread? Tyvm

SCIENCE

Planted one blazing star last year....looks like it self seeded and I'll enjoy more this year. Love #nativeplants

Interesting to see how quickly American foreign policy pivoted from "Get clean drinking water for children without hope" to "Do ethnic cleansing for condos with Mediterranean views."

Call your elected officials red or blue. Tell them their future depends on listening to their constituents. And NO an email or message on their web page isn't anty where near ad effective.

Gardening as resistance.Choose plants for you local ecology. Exotics are appealing we're socialized to think they belong in a garden.If all you have are exotics you may as well have artificial flowers in terms of benefit to the ecology. All flowers are not equal. #NativePlants #ecology

...Like churches AND billionaires don't

Got that right

If they had balls they wouldn't be walking lockstep

Trump dismantling DOE, red states incent parents to send kids to religious schools...Musk says Americans are poorly educated so he needs to hire H1Bs...Doubtful H1Bs are being hired for their religious studies...so what's the plan...to have Americans as a permanent underclass in their own country?

Sorry but I'm stealing this..it's wonderful

Someone who got their money or influence from daddy or spouse is not part of meritocracy. They are instead just part of the LUCKY VAGINA squad..nothing special in themselves.

Saw a suggestion on Facebook...wear a mask whenever you are in public...Slowdown ICE by making it more difficult for them to identify targets. I think for it to work we'd have to distribute masks to at risk populations..so they can blend in w suburban maskwearers

It's not fun but necessary. Call your Senators and Representatives esp if you have a damn GOP one. Make them know you are not happy and you expect them to work for constituents not the tangerine dumbass. They consider phone calls more than email or websites #DoSomething

My vote for #easygrowing is cherry tomatoes and green onions. Herbs are also easy...but can become invasive.

Donald Trump:
Comply with my demands or I will hurt my own people!

Canada:
Ok, we will keep doing a thing we’ve been doing.

Mexico:
Ok, we will do a thing we did under the last guy.

Trump:
I WIN!!!!

Fucking idiot.

STEP 1: Donald does something stupid.

STEP 2: Donald is surprised there are consequences.

STEP 3: Donald backs down.

STEP 4: Donald lies, claiming things already agreed to are new concessions he forced by the stupid thing he did.

STOP 5: REPEAT

Well played, President Claudia Sheinbaum, for committing troops already at the border since 2021, knowing perfectly well President Man Baby would have no idea and take it as a win.
