This is some corrupt shit Ivanka and Jared are trying to pull over in Albania. Support the Albanian protesters as they have helped bring global attention to this insane $1.4 billion resort Ivanka and Jared are trying to build on irreplaceable and priceless environmental wetlands.

Connecticut has four beautiful seasons, but spring may be the prettiest of them all. Pictured: my favorite morning coffee spot. #gardening #🌱 #connecticut

My friend the climatologist tells me he has worries about the heat. My friend the epidemiologist tells me they have worries about the viruses. My friend the historian tells me she has worries about AI. My friends oh, my friends, worries are the only thing I have.

Yesterday's walk around the farm: Siberian Irises after the rain #gardening #🌱

Today's walk around the farm: beautifully-scented cottage roses #gardening #🌱

Inside our stable, we use upside-down umbrellas to catch bird droppings. Barn swallows like to sit on their edges and gently swing with the breeze. #barnswallow #birdplay

That is a very real and very serious problem. #RememberInNovember

It's turtle mating season in Connecticut, and the DEEP advises drivers to watch for turtles crossing roads. #Connecticut #turtles #nature

It's hunting season, and our farm feels like a wild turkey sanctuary. Turkeys keep the soil aerated and they add natural fertilizer. #connecticut #turkeys #bethlehemct #gardening 🌱 (Photos: S Griffin)

Monday's walk around the farm: lilac bushes in bloom. This one is a Siberian (Russian) lilac. You can also see a bit of white Fothergilla behind the lilac. #gardening #🌱

Today's walk around the farm: a few perennial flowers, emerging hostas, young lollies and trees starting to leaf out. #gardening #🌱

🚨NEWS🚨 Rep. Massie and I just introduced a bipartisan amendment to strip the pesticide liability shield from the Farm Bill. If a company’s product makes people sick, it should be held accountable. If states and communities want to create stronger protections, they should have every right to do so.

Yesterday's walk around the farm: the subtle beauty of blossoms from a heritage magnolia tree. #gardening #🌱 #magnolia

Today's walk around the farm: peach blossoms on our young tree. Monday night's forecast calls for 27⁰F, so our fingers are crossed the blossoms survive. #gardening #🌱 #Peachtree

Today's walk around the farm: Andromeda, an early-flowering perennial that's an excellent food for bees. #gardening #🌱 #connecticutinthespring

The victory of the opposition in Hungary yesterday, like the Polish election in 2023, is a victory for democracy, not just in Europe but around the world.

On yesterday's walk around the farm, I saw Myrtle, an aromatic evergreen that has already started to bloom! Myrtle symbolizes love and prosperity, and it's an important food for bees. #gardening #🌱

You can be opposed to the Iranian regime AND the reckless bombing of school kids. You can support the troops AND be opposed to sending them into senseless wars. You are not an antisemite if you decry the Israeli regime’s genocidal rampage. Don’t let morons impose their idiotic view of the world.

Today's walk around the farm shows our first sign of spring: crocus flowers. #gardening #🌱 #springflowers #crocus

hmm

Today's walk on the farm: our #insecthotel waits for warmer weather #gardening #ornamentalgrasses #🌱

Independence Lake north of Truckee, #California was on private timber company land, which put it up for sale. Larry Ellison wanted to buy it as a private lake for his billionarity, but the company instead sold it to the Tahoe Donner Land Trust. Now it has trails and free kayak use for the public!

A little friend on the first day of spring.

Republicans didn’t do this in a year. They built it across decades — defunded the schools, killed the unions, bought the local news, flooded the churches with politics, and waited. By the time the water was boiling, the frog had learned to call it a hot tub.

Each winter, our Hibiscus plant stays in the living room. There may be snow outside, but we can still enjoy a summer preview. #gardening #🌱

In 1985 they were telling you and in 2026 people are still telling you. Nothing ever seems to changes and what a tragedy it is. Everybody wants to rule the world The lines between evil and good have never been more blurred. youtu.be/Pkgd3tER1yI?...

Vaclac Havel on why each of us, by not cowering and repeating the regime’s definitions of reality (LIES), has the power to end it.

Uh no...we definitely realize it.

Beautiful evening on the farm #Connecticut

"If border walls destroy La Lomita, Santa Ana, Bentsen State Park, and the National Butterfly Center, they will not be magically resurrected when the White House has a less malignant occupant."

Here's a crochet pattern for a warm winter MELT ICE hat. This style of hat was used by Norwegians in the 1940s as a form of visual protest. Pattern purchase price goes to help immigrants. (There is a knit version, too).

Yesterday's walk around the farm: a large amount of snow, no outdoor gardening. No ICE. #gardening 🌱

We've had some snow...

Raskin: ICE and CBP — these are not law enforcement entities, and at this point they’re completely lawless. They’re outside of the Constitution.

America does not want us to fund a lawless out of control ICE. - No more roving patrols or profiling. ICE/CBP are not trained to do this. And it's wrong. Require warrants. - No more secret police. Take off the masks. Show ID. - And real accountability for murder and assault.

Thank you, Mr. President.
