BOOM! Chicago priest Fr. Michael Pfleger just DROPPED a holy firebomb on Trump—slamming the tyrant-in-chief in 10 brutal ways over his illegal National Guard threats!

"The state of emergency is in AMERICA, not Chicago. It's birthed from this president & his admin's reign of terror."

Ossoff: "We have a president who's completely out of control, a crook engaged in unprecedented corruption, who's passing one of the most unpopular agendas in history. The public is turning against him. The opposition is motivated. We can win & we have to win, but we don't have the luxury of despair"

When people email me, saying, "Jack...I am so tired. Have any words of wisdom to help me find the motivation to keep moving?," I say this:

If you woke up and discovered a spider on your face...would you need to be motivated to get up?

As a someone in this country, you have a spider on your face.

Amaryllis belladonna (Naked Ladies) blooming late summer - and what's better? It's a #PoisonousPlant: contains lycorine, a toxic alkaloid found in the bulbs and foliage, and one of my choices for the White House Kitchen Garden this year!

Did someone say National Mushroom Month?!

Velshi Banned Book Club: an Introduction to the Great Stephen King There are few authors with as much influence as Stephen King. King’s writing, from imagery to phrases, is deeply entrenched in American culture: “It” and Pennywise cemented the killer clown, “Carrie” defined high school suffering, “The Shining” crystallized haunted hotels, “The Shawshank Redemption” epitomized jailbreak, and “Cujo” became shorthand at the dog park. What connects all of King’s work, from explorations of fairy tales to time travel, is hope.

The great @stephenking.bsky.social has advice for every single member of the #VelshiBannedBookClub, “Run to the library or to the bookstore and find out what they don't want you to read.” #Velshi

🍽️ Hey, What’s Cooking, how about some roasted potatoes, and nothing else?

Dr. Susan Monarez, recently removed as director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, warned in a Wall Street Journal op-ed that the Trump administration is deliberately weakening the country’s public health and vaccine protections. This is a danger that should concern us all.

Yep. Florida private schools require current vaccination records for every student.
“Private schools must maintain a Florida Certification of Immunization for each child. This form is not available to the public and must be completed by a Florida physician or a Florida county health department.”

Challenger Job Cuts Hit Highest August Level in 5 Years, Hiring Plans at Record Low TradingKey - After Wednesday’s weaker-than-expected JOLTS job openings data, another employment report has painted a bleak picture of the U.S. labor market: Challenger August job cuts reached the high...

“August job cuts reached the highest level since 2020, while announced hiring plans hit the weakest level ever recorded for the month.”

Kinda feels like a Recession in bloom.

Labor market growth slows dramatically in August with U.S. adding just 54,000 jobs, ADP says U.S. private sector hiring rose less than expected in August, per the ADP.

This is going well.

A set of six cocktail glasses, each with a label: Suriname, Hemlock, Strychnine, Cyanide, Belladonna, Arsenic.

Cocktail glasses have arrived, just in time for use on the new Mar-a-Lago style patio at the White House. #CocktailHour #Cocktails #botanicals #SecondaryMetabolites

Trump makes over the Rose Garden, Mar-a-Lago style Trump has swapped out the grass in the Rose Garden with stone, turning what had been a lawn into a patio that bears a striking resemblance to one at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Fla.

The Death of a Rose Garden. What an abomination, all in the name of Christian Louboutin stilettos and golden umbrellas in the style of Mar-a-Lago. He's not leaving, so it's time to install a hedge of water hemlock, Cicuta douglasii, the most violently toxic plant in North America.

🌱 Lithops can live 40-50 years and only need transplanting from a pot every 10 years or so. These living stones require only a scarce amount of water because the entire plant is devoted to storing water. You will find them growing in their native habitats of Namibia and South Africa. #Lithops

It still astounds me just how easily a guy like Trump, with no redeeming qualities, has taken over institution after institution (starting with the Republican Party in 2015), to make himself dictator of the US with rather minimal pushback. Shows just how overrated our system and people have been!🦠

Mississippi declares public health emergency over rising infant mortality rate (CNN) — The Mississippi health department declared a public health emergency Thursday over rising infant mortality rates in the state.

Mississippi banned abortion and refused to expand Medicaid. This isn't complicated. This is a policy choice. 'Pro-life' politicians would rather babies die than their mothers receive health care. www.waaytv.com/news/nation-...

I LOVE what you did to those sausages. I have to remember the the next time! DELISH - all of it.

A shot of a red poppy in a flowered. Black stamens surround the centre and green leaves are blurred in the background.

The ancient Greeks linked poppies with a range of deities, including Demeter, Hypnos, Thanatos, Morpheus, and Nyx. You can often spot these deities in art if you see them holding poppies or wearing poppy crowns.
