🧵"So this is how liberty dies..."

Trump’s first 3 weeks have been a relentless flood of actions. It's incredibly hard to keep up.

I’ve gone through 69 actions & mapped out the pattern - showing how they fall within 5 broad domains consistent with authoritarian states 1/9

I remember it well. And honestly, every time I read something about it's restoration, it made me think of you. :)

Why, it's a baby pineapple.

I'm in research mode, working on planning a permaculture/polyculture garden with an emphasis on edibles and medicinals.
I can't stop the world from burning. But I can try to make something that benefits myself and the people and animals in my area.

Nothing to show yet... but I have dough rising for custard filled long johns in my kitchen. I'll probably have some pictures this afternoon, if you really want to see them. :)

I appreciate opening this app, and seeing reasonably intelligent posts rather than click-bait. I suppose I should spend more time actually interacting with posts... but just seeing the positivity here is wonderful.

I stopped speaking up and talking about just about everything a long time ago. No one was listening. So I merely observed, without rendering opinions or insights.

Perhaps that will change now - however, I have no idea where to begin. I have been silent for too long.
