🥺 The cruelty is staggering 🩵💧😞

I deleted my reply picture because of the guy who started seeming creepy in comments under it. Wishing you gentleness and calm, and the wellness you help bring about by sharing your gifts with nature’s gifts.

I photographed it when walking around Seal Beach in Southern California back in April.

Can you share where you have seen military speaking out against T? They certainly need to. (Even writing out his name makes me feel ill and I couldn’t.)

Happy 4th, everyone.

Surprise new Hounds release. You will want to hear this one.

💔

I’ve periodically watched you, watched The Con a few months ago. I’m badly weakened with an uncommon & complicated health problem since late 2023 & in grief over how little I can offer the Resistance, even though I’m aligned. 🙏 my body recovers stamina. I admire your dedication.

Important is an understatement

"We are devastated and heartbroken at the loss of our parents, Melissa and Mark. They were the bright lights at the center of our lives, and we can't believe they are gone. Their love for us was boundless. We miss them so much. "We want everyone to know that we are both safe and with loved ones. We are grateful for the outpouring of love and support we have received, and we appreciate your respect for our family's privacy as we grieve. "Our family would like to thank law enforcement for their swift action that saved others and for the coordination across communities that led to the arrest of the man who murdered our parents. We especially would like to thank the officers who were first on the scene to our parents' home and their heroic attempts to rescue our mom and dad. "Our parents touched so many lives, and they leave behind an incredible legacy of dedication to their community that will live on in us, their friends, their colleagues and co-workers, and every single person who knew and loved them. "If you would like to honor the memory of Mark and Melissa, please consider the following: • Plant a tree. • Visit a local park and make use of their amenities, especially a bike trail. • Pet a dog. A golden retriever is ideal, but any will do. • Tell your loved ones a cheesy dad joke and laugh about it. • Bake something — bread for Mark or a cake for Melissa, and share it with someone. • Try a new hobby and enjoy learning something. • Stand up for what you believe in, especially if that thing is justice and peace. "Hope and resilience are the enemy of fear. Our parents lived their lives with immense dedication to their fellow humans. This tragedy must become a moment for us to come together. Hold your loved ones a little closer. Love your neighbors. Treat each other with kindness and respect. The best way to honor our parents' memory is to do something, whether big or small, to make our community just a little better for someone else."

Please read and share this statement from Sophie and Colin Hortman, children of Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark.

It's past time that Governor #Newsom called out the California National Guard to protect the protesters from the Los Angeles police department. #LAPD

And I read that the specific marines in the crowd were chosen because they support him and had the trim body look he wanted. It’s a dire time.

Take a listen and seriously consider it. While this is not an uncommon practice, I am glad people are beginning to speak up about it.

The degree of control this administration wants is terrifying and repulsive, as is their whole twisted project. From Reuters article about this:

I live in LA and it’s unbelievable that this extreme exaggeration is not being pushed back on. What cannot be exaggerated is the dire situation it’s being used to justify.

ICE agents chase after farm workers as they flee fields during latest raid in Ventura County Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) targeted workers on produce farms in Ventura County Tuesday morning in one of the latest raids in Southern California.

Hope you weren’t counting on strawberries this summer. The people who pick them are being hunted at dawn.
