The Actual Conspiracy Theory Surrounding Trump and Epstein It’s not what you think it is.

The actual conspiracy theory is that multiple women independently lied, with apparently nothing to gain, and much to lose, about Trump’s entanglement with Epstein. katemanne.substack.com/p/the-actual...

Public parks, gardens, and other spaces benefit everyone, and many could use extra help these days. Reach out to volunteer, or just bring a plastic bag and gloves to pick up a few pieces of trash on your next walk! 🌱

Here’s the thing: Once you give up the idea that we are all equal before the law and have the right to due process, you have given up the whole game. You have admitted the principle that some people have more rights than others. Once you have replaced the principle of equality before the law with the idea that some people have no rights, you have granted your approval to the idea of an authoritarian government. At that point, all you can do is to hope that the dictator and his henchmen overlook you.

Minnesota crowd estimates vary between 30,000 to 60,000. That means nearly an entire Vikings home game came to this rally.

You are in this photo. If you were there physically, or only in spirit, you are a part of the fight. And we’re all better off because of it.

Thanks for joining us, Minnesota!

I've trayed up no less than two dozen flats of MN native seeds the past few weeks, with more to come.

Tiny green spirits bursting forth with a "surprise!" give me hope when all seems for naught.

If my heart rate spikes, at least it will be in support of women.

They were never going to lower prices. They never cared about egg prices. It's the same lie as CRT. They want us chasing their bullshit while the real mission is to disassemble the government so the rich can get richer. They are on a mission to destroy it all. It's beyond a coup.

We have been careful to avoid using the word coup, but it’s time to call it what it isβ€”this is a coup. Trump signed an executive order granting only the attorney general or the president the authority to interpret laws executed by the executive branch.

Multi-tasking, watching MN Frost -vs- Montreal Victoire while waiting for a monthly RCMG zoom mtg. The Frost need a road win BAD, but still want Boreen to make Klee pay for his draft error. πŸ’

Listening in on a similar seminar this week via the U of MN Bee Series: z.umn.edu/BeeSeries. One more session tomorrow, but prior sessions will be available Friday.

If you have land privilege, please integrate native plants into your landscape. Pollinators & other invertebrates thank you.
