Thanks for posting this. I will look them up!

Home Depot could implement a policy requiring ICE to present a judicial warrant before operating on its property. Businesses are fully within their rights to decide who is allowed on their premises.

In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

Our pink snapdragons are still hanging in too. Other colors aren't. I'm intrigued.

Good and highly distressing read

A collage of dried snapdragon seed pods arranged on a muted background, each pod shaped like a tiny skull with hollow eye sockets, creating an eerie, natural pattern.

When snapdragon (Antirrhinum) blooms fall away, they leave tiny skull-shaped seed pods, eerie little relics of summer. Old #folklore says they keep harm from the garden as the nights grow longer, their hollow faces keeping watchful guard over the fading year. #gardening #autumn

please don't cave

Thank you!

Very, very few people die from murder or terrorism, but you'd never know that from the media. ALL of our perceptions are warped by what the media chooses to cover, chooses to center, and chooses to ignore. Keep that in mind at all times.

I have never heard of skirret before. Looked it up and now I want to grow it!

Exquisite timing.

Senator Anwar to live on $6.20 per day in solidarity with Conencticut residents set to lose SNAP. No elected official should ever look away from the pain of a mother choosing between food and medicine, or a senior deciding whether to skip a meal to keep the lights on. This is the daily reality for too many of our neighbors - and it's about to get much worse if this lifeline is severed.

Day 4 of living on $6.20 per day: lunch is lentil soup, 2 eggs, and small kebabs with garbanzo beans and black beans.

My lunch is 2 boiled eggs and a half an apple with peanut butter.

Day 2 living on $6.20 per day. My dinner is lentil soup, rice with garbanzo beans, and a banana.

Connecticut State Senator, Saud Anwar, shows what it's like to live off of $6.20 in food per day. The average allowance for SNAP recipients.

Trump Administration Live Updates: Pentagon Accepts $130 Million Donation to Help Pay Troops During Shutdown

The amount is meaningless — less than one day of salary. But the principle is important: once the armed services are paid by the oligarchs, they become a private militia, and we no longer have a country.

Please check the counts on these events. NYC police said 100k attendees across all boroughs but reports from Times Square New Year's eve crowd 2025 was that it was 1 million. Times square alone had a larger crowd than New Years yesterday. Look at the pics.

Logic question: police and news outlets say there were 100K at the NY protests yesterday. Some reporters yesterday were saying there were more in Times Square than at New Year's Eve. New Year's Eve Times Square 2025 had 1 million.

As a historian, I can certify that we are in the bad times. But bad times eventually end.
In the meantime:
• Figure out a small way to help someone
• Figure out a small way to fight back
• Figure out a small place to find joy
• Figure out a small way to grow and thrive

And do it often.

Trump’s Argentina bailout enriches one well-connected US billionaire A $20 billion US rescue package is a gift for a hedge fund manager with ties to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.

The US has finalized its $20 billion bailout for Argentina.

Too bad it only benefits one American: a billionaire hedge fund manager, who has placed large bets on the future of the Argentine economy.
