A very small (real) flower arrangement in a thimble including forget me nots , lily of the valley, buttercup, geum, chive flower bud, snowberry, green alkanet…

The first posy in a thimble I made, to lift my mood during the pandemic. The flowers are all real.

When humans look at plants (even on a screen as here) we recover from stress 60% more quickly & the relaxation response is triggered in our brains.

Zoom in if you're strung out🌿

Promises made. Promises kept. @vanhollen.senate.gov promised he’d meet with Kilmar—and he kept that promise.

Dear senators who think you can’t do anything,

Today, Senator Van Hollen - through diplomatic pressure - got a meeting with Abrego Garcia in El Salvador. So that thing you’re thinking about doing? DO IT.

Let’s send them ALL to El Salvador !!

"We cannot act like this is normal." @brotherjones.bsky.social

Criminals deserve due process because due process is literally how we determine whether someone is, *in fact*, a criminal

1/4. On the White House’s theory, if they abduct you, get you on a helicopter, get to international waters, shoot you in the head, and drop your corpse into the ocean, that is legal, because it is the conduct of foreign affairs.

On this day, April 14, 2025, the President of the United States openly defied the Supreme Court’s unanimous opinion of April 10, 2025, ordering him to “facilitate Abrego Garcia’s release from custody in El Salvador

What did Costco do?

The lies Pam Bondi and Stephen Miller just told about Abrego Garcia on national TV...

...I have no words for them. I am sick of calling things obscene or deranged. These are obviously evil people charting an obviously evil course for our country.

The idea of Hell was devised for people like this.

This! If one message gets heard, this! You swore an oath to the constitution, now defend it! Against all enemies, foreign and DOMESTIC!

If you don't think we're in a constitutional crisis i need you to stop thinking like a straight white man for a minute.

Tomorrow’s going to be a good stress test of the press. El Salvadoran President Bukele will visit the White House. At the press availability, every Q ought to be about Abrego Garcia: where is he now? Did US ask you to return him? etc. WH will hate, maybe try to prevent, so all should band together.

Calm down, folks, it was just an attempted assassination of a Jewish Democratic governor and his family on the first night of Passover, it’s not like somebody spray painted a dick on a Cybertruck.

20,000 in ruby red Utah on their feet, in community, and ready to organize for a better world.

A better world is possible.

Elon Musk is cutting social security, even if he won't admit it...

Slashing staff, closing offices, endless wait times on the phones - they can't win a vote to cut social security, so instead they're engaging in illegal firings and sabotage to destroy the agency from the inside.

Just wanted to send a quick thank-you for standing with us yesterday. Everything went smoothly, and our coalition members are safe. A little good trouble goes a long way.

Disappearing people without any due process is fascism — full stop. I’m sick to my stomach and we all should be.

I hope everyone realizes that scrubbing historical references from web sites is no different than burning books

Cursory reminder that fascism, by its very nature, always destroys itself eventually.

Always. Without exception.

The question going forward is not *if* we'll ever get out of this, but rather how much damage will be done before we do.

This seems right, and all of this is WRONG.
