Yes, yes, yes, and yes

I am an American.

This is a really good piece from @laurajedeed.bsky.social. I'm reluctant to try to summarize it because its value lies in the granularity of its advice. It's worth your time.

One small nudge sparks the transformation of a seemingly stable liquid into a solid. 💧 The liquid is water with more dissolved sodium acetate salt than can be stably sustained. When Andy adds a salt crystal, he kicks off the transformation into the more thermodynamically favourable solid state.

I am behind in posting photos. Photos from a demonstration outside Bayshore Church while McClintock was talking olus some photos from a combination protest/food drive. We almost filled the U-Haul truck with food!

I called and am getting transferred to the secretary, that direct line is: 202-690-7000 Introverts: it's after office hours right now, so you won't have to speak to a human if you call the direct line now and leave a message. #DidThisToday

And another "Good Trouble" demonstration. This time up in Roseville

Thanks, Trumph - not just destroying the US economy www.theguardian.com/business/202...

The NYT is pathetic.

As we head into Memorial Day remember Trump indiscriminately fired 1,000 National Park employees and froze 2,000 seasonal hires Plan accordingly: hours long lines at Grand Canyon, camp ground closures at Great Smokey Mountain, shitty bathrooms, limited emergency rescue resources

So many self-described "Christians" don't want to know this

You also have to give them your driver's license, proof of insurance, and car registration - and get out of your car if told to do so. Otherwise it's just Why did you pull me over? I'm not discussing my day Am I being detained or am I free to go? I invoke the 5th and I want my lawyer

Another excellent reason to buy a reusable water bottle

Holy crap. If you need to buy something now is the time to do so.

This is going to get worse and worse until it is stopped.

It was great to listen to Rep Eric Swalwell this evening along with 600 other local citizens eager to defend democracy

Bring back Kilmar Abrego García... NOW. 🧵(1 of 6)

Boglands - where beauty flows from an overabundance of death. The hope of resilience, grit, and quiet determination is perhaps the hope we all need.

Elmo, my man...welcome to the resistance

So difficult to pick just one photo from Yosemite - but I'll go with this view #NationalParkService America’s Best Idea

I knew this was going to happen. And I know that there will be many more. Completely preventable www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
