Goldenrod and wasps.

Harvest basket with bok choy, lettuce, and radishes.

Little alpine strawberries. These are quite different plants from ordinary strawberries. I started them from seed and babied them for a year before planting out. They taste like 1980s strawberry lip gloss.

Native wildflowers in the meadow.

Autumn at the farm. 🌱

i don’t think enough (any?) “serious” political thinkers and leaders are spending much time on the question “how do we make trump leave office if he refuses to go” and that worries me

Blue states should come together to declare an emergency. Here’s how | Thomas Geoghegan States opposed to Trump can create a compact – a new prototype for American government – even if it’s perceived as political theater

Yes, please. This.

This is great. The absurdity of this moment captured. Make it go viral.

Black people in Chicago had their apartment building raided in the middle of the night, were detained for hours, and had their Fourth Amendment rights violated during an ICE operation that had nothing to do with them. Nah, they are not thrilled.

the hardest part of living in Portland is having your house burn down every single night and then having to rebuild it during the day. the amount of money i spend just in drywall is insane.

Limiting warming to the Paris Agreement targets requires rapid, deep, and in most cases, immediate reductions in GHG emissions. Net-zero is achieved with emissions reductions, as shown in the graphic. Implemented policies overshoot the targets.

"All global modelled pathways that limit warming to 1.5°C (>50%) with no or limited overshoot, and those that limit warming to 2°C (>67%), involve rapid and deep and, in most cases, immediate greenhouse gas emissions reductions in all sectors this decade."

Yes, there was one interacting with some South Carolina political posters a month or two ago. We communicated via message to stop replying to him.

This post vividly brought back to me the vibe of that wild generation of 60s and 70s hard partying Albuquerque men who would eventually make Balloon fiesta a thing.

This was inelegantly worded.

Apologies.

I inadvertently skipped my early coffee today.

Agree. Appeals to moral clarity have their own appeal to voters, if communicated in words, cultural references, and metaphors that can reach the voter.

​I call on Governor Abbott to immediately withdraw any support for this decision and refuse to coordinate. There is no reason a President should send military troops into a sovereign state without their knowledge, consent, or cooperation.

Washington State passed legislation forbidding the Guard from other states being deployed there, if I’m remembering correctly. Would similar legislation in CA and IL help at this point?

This is a breathtaking abuse of the law and power by the President of the United States.

America is on the brink of martial law.

Do not be silent.

Here’s the thing...

None of this would be happening if folks stopped asking people in the minority to fix the problems the majority creates…EVERY ELECTION

So…who’s not up to the job? Who‘s problematic every election?

Work that bs out in the voting booth and stop wanting performative bs.

Definitely.

The sounds are an underrated part of it all.

Look as someone who grew up adjacent to the substance abuse space in roughly the same geographic area and time period as JD Vance I'm telling ya right now there weren't no Mexicans involved

Yep.

Currently trying to confirm via DoD/Northcom but if so, holy shit.

ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.

Bless their hearts.

The dogs of Albuquerque are also typically very confused.

Knowing this, the company that makes the famous Kong dog toy made a balloon version of it as a visual joke just for them.

What *must* the dogs be thinking when a thirty foot Kong rises like the sun in the sky nearby?

Oh no! Just occurred to me that this could be the case.

Notably, Argentina may be one of the better places to endure the now-almost-certain future climate hell.

I think the broligarchs know all about Climate Change impacts, and just want to ensure that they benefit from it.

From SC visiting for Fiesta?

This is an old formula used by authoritarian regimes. Stoke chaos and blame scapegoats to justify the use of force.

Feels like a situation where -- and look, I'm just spitballing here -- the media could take some reporters and cameras to various parts of Portland and report what they see rather than just do stenography for someone with a long history trying to game the system with lies and exaggeration.
