Ken Martin, the former longtime leader of Minnesota’s Democratic party, is facing calls to resign his post as chair of the Democratic National Committee. Few in Minnesota are rushing to his defense.

For decades, native plants couldn't be given away. Now a Chicago park sale that normally draws 1,100 people drew 2,300 this year—and sold out completely. "It's not a fad," says one nurseryman who's watched the trend for 44 years. "This is a long, steady climb."

I'm so over the conspiracy theory grifters "on the Left". I've seen a dozen posts and videos on this fucking shadow over the last two days and people are getting mad clicks and $$ for it. Capitalism is real good at driving movement capture of the resistance social media ecosystem.

“Yes! Costco still has gas under $4!” is something I say now.

Minnesota is doing what the federal government won’t: Holding ICE accountable. An ICE officer who allegedly shot a Minneapolis man when the Trump administration sent thousands of officers to Minnesota and lied about the series of events that led to the shooting was charged.

Same question?

America is rewriting history -- i hope we have other sources to get the truth!

Way to go MN!!

First, look what piggy has done to our beautiful WH. Second, he keeps talking about inventing the word "dumb-ocrats". He didn't. I've been called that before. Years ago even. Better to be a dumbocrat than a rapepublican. #FDT #quietpiggy

Momma’s Mememinder™️ of the day

I can’t believe I forgot to name this beautiful but troublesome plant. It’s called Dame’s Rocket. I shouldn’t post right before going to sleep 😅 #BloomScrolling 🌿

TODAY ELON’S BABY MOMMA SAID HE USED “SPACE TECHNOLOGY” TO STEAL THE 2024 ELECTION AND THE MEDIA WON’T SPEND A SECOND ON IT I PROMISE YOU.

Morning. 🖼️ Black-tailed Godwits, Tunnicliffe.

Meaningful May - Day 20: Share photos of 3 things you find meaningful or memorable actionforhappiness.org/meaningful-may #MeaningfulMay

I knew it. It was rigged.

Sometimes, the greatest happiness lies in the smallest things: pausing briefly to listen to the birdsong, marveling at nature. Those who find beauty in simplicity preserve the ability to take a deep breath in a noisy world. ✨

Book Cover of the Day:

The purpose of art is to lay bare the questions that have been hidden by the answers. —James Baldwin

This should be the headline story on every news publication and telecast including local news every day for several days. But it won’t. It will be shrugged off like so much else by so much of media. The most corrupt thing that has ever come out of the US govt.

there are now tears in my curry and that’s alright with me.

'I have dreamt in my life, dreams that have stayed with me ever after, and changed my ideas; they have gone through and through me, like wine through water, and altered the color of my mind.' —Emily Brontë Wuthering Heights 1847

I miss having a President of the United States.

The Colbert effect and I’m here for it. Loser CBS. Good, lose more.

I love literary mysteries —and libraries that preserve the clues to their solutions. #Booksky #EduSky Researchers stunned by a forgotten medieval book in Rome hiding the oldest English poem apnews.com/article/old-...

All the starbursts of gathered hours I released them as well as held on flowing is the tone of a flower's song orange for courage laid stemless washed away by rain #poetry

I adore feathered friends and there is no bird that makes my heart happier than the black-capped chickadee. There isn’t a day that goes by that is not enhanced by their chirping and presence at the feeders. Such little cuties!!

That’s all he got. No help with Iran, the opposite in fact. He was threatened to back off Taiwan, vague claims about buying Boeing planes, and was told the US is a declining nation, but he’s too stupid and arrogant to realize it was about him.

Truth🙏💙🇺🇸

Thousands are marching in Selma calling for a full restoration of the voting rights act.

Thomas Massie pushed for the release of the Epstein files, and the response has been tens of millions in outside spending, smear campaigns, and coordinated attacks. If this is what they do to a sitting member of Congress, imagine what Epstein survivors face when considering whether to come forward.
