The mask is completely off. You can’t meet these people in the middle. We’re not working toward the same goals. They hate America. They hate democracy. They hate freedom. And they hate you.

Hard to benchmark Trump news. One way: if someone told you on the evening of January 6, 2021 that in April 2026, President Trump would address the nation amid an Iran war he started with ground troops possible, after attending the SCOTUS argument on birthright citizenship, what would you have said?

For those of you who remember the NYC mayoral election, and now for something completely different. www.youtube.com/watch?v=iGeu...

another great case in point of "people don't want nice things"

At every protest I have attended, some MAGA person has shouted at us, 'How much are they paying you!' I think they really believe it. They cannot conceive of hundreds of people assembling in our insignificant town in an unimportant state because we believe in something. Gotta be money.

The first of the red tulips, and the daffodil bed is looking really nice right now.

This is what makes America beautiful and great. A Muslim mayor is able to attend Eid al-Fitr with prisoners and then a week later attends a Palm Sunday service and he is happily welcomed at both. This is the America I believe in, this is the America I fight for.

This is good. It touches on something I truly love about this country, that anyone can come and become one of us.

Someone was having a bad day. Just spotted this in google maps on field near my hometown.

Total @boxelderdust.bsky.social vindication

First of the tulips are up on the palisade. They were hiding among the daffodils.

Lmao Georgists and spreadsheet libs are gonna end up pro-Mamdani while the dirtbag & populist left turn on him

“.. He fought back tears as he explained what was there before: two wooden shelters, an outpost to make cheese, sheds for his equipment. The horse paddock was spared, but the chicken coop was gone.” @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2026/03/24/w...

each day it gets easier to hate the voters

"He wanted to invade a European Union country not long ago, Greenland...and now he needs us. Frankly he can go fuck himself."

Another of my favorite spring weed flowers. This delightful little pink ones that grow up out of a circle of fernlike leaves.

killing 2 horse men of the apocalypse (famine and pestilnece) may save billions of lives, but it also means people now consume chemicals, so, it;s impossible to say if its bad or good

And now for something completely different. Kim Ju Ae, Kim Jong Un's daughter, driving a tank with her dad.

This was the snowpack at Crater Lake national park two years ago. This is it this year. 2024 was a good snow year, not extraordinary, but good. Right now, we're are 14% snowpack. It's going to be a bad year in the west.

Did I ever tell you all how much I really, really, REALLY hate being right about stuff

just remember, Americans do not elect a president. 100,000 of the stupidest Pennsylvanians imaginable do.

Peach tree starting to bloom, about a month too early, but that's why we have it in a pot. The honeyberries are right on time. And the sap is dripping off the grape vines. Fruit is coming.

Crocuses in the rose pot and coming up through the yarrow by the strawberry pot.

Flowers along the road for people to see, flowers in the bed for us to see.

So, one of my favorite parts of spring and my parents house is this carpet of tiny white flowers that blooms early on in front of the garage. They don't grow in the rest of the driveway. They don't grow in our neighbors. A few scattered other gravelly places in town, but here they form a carpet.

Following a machine and hand recount, Thomson won by five votes. Five. Votes. Every vote counts.

It get's worse! Qatar is one of two places that produce semiconductor-grade helium. It's not just 30% generically. It's half of the global production capacity of thing that makes chips happen. cen.acs.org/business/spe....

America is respected perhaps like never before

The Big Beautiful Blackpill is that it was the neoconservative warmongers holding back the worst of Trump during his first regime, and his new cabinet of anti-war populists have cut him loose for reasons of [Judge_Holden_Ultimate_Trade.txt]

I want off Mr. Trump's wild ride

@dollspace.gay Had to have Claude search the internet so it could understand why I was asking the questions I was about LNG infrastructure. Poor thing is having a moment. Also it understands Hegseth better than most analysts. I didn't prejudice it. It came up with that description itself.

My parents are starting to get old enough that I want their yard and garden to be easy to manage in the future if one of us isn't available to help them. So for the last couple years I've been clearing out underutilized and weedy beds and filling them with bulbs. Second bloom year should be pretty

"Daddy's Home" in big pink text, on banner, on their fence facing the road. I'm telling y'all I'm in the small town/rurals and they are not okay. (Sorry for the blur, snapped this as I was driving past.)

A whole hell of a lot more than my grandparents. And their lives were pretty damn sweet compared to my ancestors.

Just look at the economic anxiety

The preservation and safeguard of society is the responsibility every citizen in a democracy, and the fact that many even on the left have seemingly abandonned this very basic idea is a big part of why we're in this mess in the first place.

Behold, the Cult of the Operator. Also this **** administration.

📝 A dismal, but worthwhile, thread.

they all did bitch

Suboptimal. Not great. Bad, even.

My niece is 3 1/2 and skinned her knee. She insisted the phone be brought out so she could show grandma and papa her boo-boo, and tell the story of how she got it. Okay, so what? It's that watching this is once again reminding how the world has changed and how it is changing our relationships.

Crocus blooms on the 1st of March, and my maple seedlings are starting to open their first leaves. I am so happy and ready for spring.

No notes.

Republicans are not good people. They are also fundamentally cowards and unserious people. Everything, even massacring children, is nothing more than a meme, a joke, fodder for internet content, until there is a hint that personal consequences might follow. Craven jackals.

Our federal government killed a disabled genocide survivor and is covering up for a child rapist. And that is just today’s news. It is just unconscionable to be treating this as normal or acceptable in any way. www.investigativepost.org/2026/02/25/b...
