It’s official. Proud Boys are ICE

Homeland security out here just posting KKK mottos. This administration is explicitly white nationalist

Fascists using slogans similar to Franco’s Spain and invoking collective punishment against protesters and legal observers

The people in Louisiana turning in their neighbors on the ICE hotline absolutely would have turned in Anne Frank’s family to the Nazis

Hard freeze tonight! Everyone make sure you’ve got your plants covered

First time sorting carrot seeds out into packs instead of planting them by the handful 1. This takes forever 2. A wire mesh strainer (like for sifting powdered sugar) is perfect 3. This process actually smells delicious 🌱 #seedsaving

Spending a winter evening sorting and bagging carrot seeds 🌱 This short and sweet variety does well here in South Louisiana! #seedsaving

The seeds of River Oats are ready to be collected and distributed to spread Louisiana’s #nativeplants! This decorative grass produces flat seed heads that provide a great food source for birds and its planting helps with soil erosion along rivers 🌱 DM me if you’d like a free pack sent your way!

How to help fight ICE’s Operation Swamp Sweep here in Louisiana Everything listed here is recommended legal action and the bare minimum we can do. For everything else, we’re always happy to provide what support we can to local bail funds.

Another harvest of buttercrunch lettuce 🥬 this might be our last before the frost 🌱

This lovely little blue flower is one of Louisiana’s #nativeplants hairy clustervine. Related to our native morning glories that pop up all over, this one is frequently found in disturbed soils among stream beds or along roadsides 🌱

ICE crackdown on our communities planned for the holidays. Protect your neighbors. Fuck ICE

More edibles #nativeplants this morning! Violet wood sorrel makes lovely purple flowers and is rich in vitamin C. The entire plant is edible with a tart lemony flavor. A friend’s kid calls them “pickle weeds” for their flavor and they’re a favorite in tiny bouquets. 🌱

ICE is using faulty and biased face surveillance technology to go after people they suspect of being undocumented. This is a direct threat to the fundamental rights of every individual and has no place in our cities.

Stupid. Evil. ¿Por qué no los dos?

Did you know that you can take a one day online course and be approved to donate home grown food to food banks in Louisiana? Gardeners, please get certified and help your neighbors! www.lsuagcenter.com/profiles/cpr...

Good turnout yesterday at the No Kings Protests in Louisiana! The dancing crawfish and band brought a very Louisiana flavor to the demonstration

I got some great advice from family: never post anything online you aren’t willing to read aloud later in a deposition. So I can confidently say with my full chest- the Republican Party is run by white supremacist losers who feel no remorse for their bigotry

It’s officially fall y’all! It’s around this time every year that one of our #nativeplants Southern Saltmarsh Aster starts spreading out across our lawns and taking over fence lines as we slow down mowing with the incoming cool weather. I’m enjoying the little purple blooms while they last 🌱

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador. Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

The debate over the rights of citizens vs. non-citizens entirely misses the point when you look at the actual text of the Constitution and its later amendments. The Founding Fathers already answered this question, and did so in a way that should have spared us all of this wrangling and argument.

Noah is correct here with bigotry. People are more comfortable labeling bigots are ignorant than immoral because labeling something immoral requires direct opposition which is uncomfortable. Ignorance simply requires instruction to be fixed.

Caught a bumblebee on an Indian blanket flower, one of our most vibrantly colored #nativeplants! #bloomscrolling 🌱

This isn't the first time ICE has been caught on video using a child hostage because they don't have an arrest warrant. ICE in Massachusetts used this same tactic on Rosane Ferreira De Oliveira in May during her arrest in Worchester.

Tievine, one of our #nativeplants, is going wild in the backyard. It’s one of several species of Morning Glory native to the Southeastern US. I’ll eventually need to clear it off my blackberries but it’s currently *for the pollinators* 🌱

As the president declares that he will designate ANTIFA a radical terrorist organization (again) - I’ll just leave this here. Also the DOJ site took down their study showing white supremacist and far-right violence “continues to outpace all other types of terrorism and domestic violent extremism”

Our Brazilian buttonbush attracts lots of pollinators but it can spread easily so we keep it contained in a raised bed. Today it was visited by a female pipevine swallowtail butterfly! 🦋 We have its larval host plant, pipevine, nearby so we will hopefully see the next generation! 🌱 #bloomscrolling

A reporter asked if Trump would order the removal of trans flags in DC. Trump says he wouldn't oppose it but says he could get around lawsuits by arguing it incites violence. The reporter follows up by asking if he would label trans people as a domestic terror threat to ban the trans flag.

One of our #nativeplants I’m less excited to see is this Nodding Spurge. It’s a summer annual, popping up outside in flower beds and all of my potted plants, and it will reseed itself prolifically. Still, it’s native to the US and despite the mildly toxic milky sap it has cute little blooms. 🌱

The weather is cooling down but it’s still sunflower season in South Louisiana #bloomscrolling 🌱

Our butterfly ginger is still going strong. These huge blossoms have a strong honeysuckle fragrance and you can frequently see Pink-spotted hawkmoths visiting them in the evening 🌱 They spread rhizomes so keep them contained! #bloomscrolling

If it feels like Louisiana US Reps and Senators aren't in it for Louisiana, it's because several aren't. Source: OpenSecrets.org

American beautyberries are fruiting! These #nativeplants bear gorgeous edible purple berries in late summer and fall. Birds love them and while they don’t have much flavor on their own, you can concentrate them to make a delicious jelly! 🌱 I’ve got several bushes and they grow well in sun or shade

2-0! Purple and gold represent! September is college football season and the salvia is showing off in a deep purple. Salvia farinacea is one of our #nativeplants and this cultivar was named one of Louisiana’s super plants. It thrives in full sun and will bloom until frost 🌱 #bloomscrolling

Khaaaaan!!! That’s how I felt this morning finding all of my blueberries and blackberries infested with red humped caterpillars. These hungry hungry caterpillars 🐛 are native to the US and rarely defoliate entire trees, but they can be a real menace when it comes to small fruit trees 🌱

Wrote a whole book on why thinking bigotry is just people being uninformed is a mistake because it's deeper than that.

One of our fastest spreading #nativeplants this morning glory (purple bindweed) is native to the Southeastern US and Mexico. It can quickly take over your garden - this took just over a week to completely cover my compost pile. Hummingbirds love it though! 🌱 #bloomscrolling

Friend or foe? Bit of both. Asian lady beetles are often distinguished from American lady bugs (also actually beetles) as a nuisance pest around houses due to their tendency to swarm. In small numbers though they can be a welcome sight, controlling the aphid population on milkweed in your garden 🌱

BREAKING: A federal appeals court denied the Trump administration's latest attempt to enforce their discriminatory passport policy. Transgender, non-binary, and intersex people will continue to be able to obtain accurate passports.

51 ICE detainees are already being housed at "Camp 57" at Louisiana’s Angola prison, with room for up to 416. @piperhutch.bsky.social reports from the state penitentiary ... lailluminator.com/2025/09/03/i...

In more local news - Trump administration to continue using the 13th amendment to allow legal slavery through our existing prison system. We’ve already got slave labor, we’re just going to be using it more widely and openly

Vinca major is pretty and easy to grow - and a problem. They reproduce from stem and root fragments so even if you plant them in pots life, uh, finds a way. They can choke out native undergrowth our wildlife feed on like partridgeberry. Don’t plant or plan on regularly pulling volunteers 🌱

the cops have arrived at 1600 Pennsylvania but somebody heard if the dope isn't actually in the room with you they can't prove possession

This #TinyTuesday we see a bee friend enjoying our coleus flowers. If you pinch blooms to prevent flowering you can keep them as a compact perennial, but I’m enjoying the purple blossoms. After blooming your coleus will get leggy but the bees don’t mind! 🌱

www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news... FUCK ICE

More #nativeplants! This Virginia buttonweed popped up by my hose pipe this week 🌱 Considered a nuisance by many homeowners in their grass lawns, these tiny flowers are needed by our native pollinators

Wonderful news!!!

Watching the Trump administration destroy homeless encampments in D.C. following his July 24th executive order on "shifting homeless individuals into long-term institutional settings". Prison is only the form of public housing the government is committed to building.

While its flower is long gone, the stem of this #nativeplants Rudbeckia maxima makes the perfect perch for a dragonfly. Leave the long hollow stems on your wildflowers after blooming and they will be used by native bees to build homes #TinyTuesday 🌱
