If nothing else, Gym is a hypocrite.

“When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants and murderers, and for a time, they can seem invincible, but in the end, they always fall. Think of it--always.”

He had respect for DJT?? He’s apparently far more naive and/or stupid than I thought.

So the target is the Democratic leaders?

Ahhh, the Facebook fascists have struck. Thanks for all your ongoing posts.

I do wonder what it costs financially to have an army occupying Los Angeles and why I keep being told the government doesn't have enough money to pay for public schools to buy supplies for their teachers

One of these images contains sheep, one doesn't.

Enough said.

Is A River Alive? is published today, 1 May.
It’s about the lives, deaths & rights of rivers—& how our fate flows with that of water & always has.
To the people, places & rivers whose ideas run through its pages, thank you so much.
I think it’s the book I’ve been learning to write all these years.

Any chance you’d visit Cincinnati? Or the Berry Center (as in Wendell Berry) in New Castle, KY?

I’ll pick up a copy. Rereading your fine book The Wild Places right now. Thank you for your extraordinary writing.

Rob Macfarlane : ‘Sometimes I felt as if the river was writing me’ The writer and poet on reimagining rivers as living beings, the ecological crisis near and far and why copyright laws should protect nature

I spoke with the brilliant @jonathan-watts.bsky.social about the experience of writing "with" rivers; about freshwater and life and power—and about hope as a discipline.

Karoline Leavitt is a liar, propagandist & accomplice to a criminal regime. “There is never going to be a world in which [Kilmar Abrego Garcia] is going to live a peaceful life in MD because he is a foreign terrorist & MS-13 gang member,” she said w/o evidence about a man who's committed no crime.

Constituents to Chuck Grassley: "Are you bringing back that guy from El Salvador?"

Senior Citizen: “If I get an order to pay a ticket to pay $1200 and I just say ‘no’, does that stand up? Because he just got an order from the Supreme Court and he just said ‘screw it’”

“I’M PISSED!”

So Trump is using Garcia’s status as an El Salvadoran national to justify doing nothing at all to facilitate his return to the U.S. as required by the 9-0 April 10 SCOTUS order.

In the meantime these thugs are planning to designate part of CECOT Prison in El Salvador as U.S. territory!

It’s time to march on Washington

Wonderfully written…thanks for sharing this. And congrats to Bea!

Image is of a meandering river. Half way along is a beaver dam. The waters before the dam are discoloured with soils sediment. After the dam the waters are clear.

SCOOP: Emails Show Mahmoud Khalil Asked Columbia for Protection a Day Before He Was Detained "I haven’t been able to sleep, fearing that ICE or a dangerous individual might come to my home. I urge you to intervene and provide the necessary protections to prevent further harm."

SCOOP—Emails obtained by @zeteo.com show Mahmoud Khalil reached out for help from the Columbia administration *one day before* ICE detained him.

He said he couldn't sleep from threats he was receiving.
He even wrote that he feared ICE "might come to my home."

JD Vance best watch this vid ‘cuz yesterday he bitched that his 3-yr-old was scared by a group of protesters shouting “Slava Ukraini.”

The hypocrisy is staggering: This girl lost her leg in a Russian attack & is a symbol of the unyielding strength of the Ukrainian people who are fighting pure evil.

Ahhh…the “pro-life” party

We’re focused on feeding our kids.

Investing in our schools.

Making sure child care is affordable.

Regardless of the chaos unfolding in Washington, we’re making Minnesota the best state for kids to grow up.

This is Acting FBI Director Brian Driscoll. Last Friday he refused Justice Department order to identify & assist in firing all agents involved in Jan. 6 riot cases, He is said to have pushed back forcefully.
Thank you Brian Driscoll!🇺🇸

Musk is supposedly CEO of Tesla and SpaceX…and yet he appears to have devoted little or no time to his executive functions at these companies for the past weeks-months. Musk has unintentionally proven that CEOs are worthless and overpaid.

Sadly, you are 100% correct

It’s not even most of us.

He’s only renamed it in his head…it’ll be cold day in hell before most Americans, myself included, refer to it as anything other than Denali. Same goes for the Gulf. As soon as trump is nothing more than a bad nightmare, the proper names will be restored
