Planting and sowing this weekend.. my hope springs eternal. Also successfully pushed the wild berry stand back 18 inches, to the actual border. I need to build that border fencing up vertically. These vines clearly want to travel.
And. Time change is dumb. Why are we still doing this. Blahhhh

JD Vance funded AcreTrader. Here’s why that matters. The real estate platform streamlines investing in US farmland. Now farms are fast becoming a portfolio staple for investors worldwide.

Hey y’all did you know that (VP) J.D. Vance is a large investor in Acre Trader, a company that profits by scooping up failing family farms. So now it might make more sense why they are killing all of these Govt programs that kept the family farm alive. www.farmlandgrab.org/post/32430-j...

We are working on launching an ALT DOGE website. It will soon feature a team page listing all of Elon’s staffers, our own wall of receipts (tracking the money he’s taking from America), and a section to help Americans keep tabs on the false claims on Doge’s websiteβ€”which now exceed 52%.

I am spending about $200/wk at the grocery store. This is for 2 adults, 6 or 7 cats, and a dog.. this week I am also spending about $20 on wild birdseed for my birdie friends ☺️ I calculated that 1/6 of this week's purchase is fresh produce and another 1/6 is cheese.
Numbers are interesting.

"A woman is like a child": MAGA turns its sights on stripping Republican women of power Conservative women believe complicity will save them, but an emboldened far-right is gunning for their rights

Women shouldn’t vote? Webbon answered β€œWell, we don’t let 5-year-olds vote either”. A woman is like a child. God appointed men to protect them.”

To all the women who voted for Trumpβ€”bet they never thought the leopard would eat their face, huh?

Pay attention to this. Replacing JAGs with loyalists enables whatever orders Trump and Hegseth issue to be interpreted as lawful.

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court GRANTS sweeping nationwide injunction against Trump DEI executive orders finding that they violate First and Fifth Amendments to the Constitution. A huge victory for @democracyforward.org and its clients. A stinging loss for Trump.

The Government’s Computing Experts Say They Are Terrified Four IT professionals lay out just how destructive Elon Musk’s incursion into the U.S. government could be.

New: We spoke to government IT employees/contractors about DOGE. Their warnings were dire. The people who maintain the systems that keep the country working are terrified. "This is the largest data breach and the largest IT security breach in our country’s historyβ€”at least that’s publicly known."

I ran $100 billion in Infrastructure and IRA programs at EPA. We obligated over $70 billion onto signed awards and contracts to protect public health and the environment. All that funding is currently frozen. Here are the facts…

From a journalist friend: Just spreading the word. The CDC is purging data, so people should archive their favorite CDC datasets today, namely ones around race/ethnic diversity, LGBTQ, and reproductive health. Also health data involving climate. The youth risk behavior survey has already gone down.

So, *very* unconfirmed, but I've heard from inside a fed agency that there is a chance a significant chunk of gov websites, in particular healthcare and energy-related ones, might just go dark today at 5 pm because it's impossible to scrub the DEI stuff by then.
