As of this week, there is nobody left on Earth who witnessed this moment live.

Awaiting “all the leaves are brown” season. Garden plants giving up the ghost.

“Once a government is committed to the principle of silencing the voice of opposition, it has only one way to go, and that is down the path of increasingly repressive measures, until it becomes a source of terror to all its citizens and creates a country where everyone lives in fear.” Harry Truman

2025 feels like being awake during surgery

Kudos purple dots. Keep showing up.

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

Donald Trump deployed more than 700 active U.S. Marines — men and women trained in foreign combat, not domestic law enforcement. We honor their service and bravery. But we do not want our streets militarized by our own Armed Forces. Not in L.A. Not in California. Not anywhere.

This is culinary blasphemy.

In honor of my Vietnam Vet father we remember Wayne Teeple. My Dad showed me his name on the wall was when I was 14. He knew Wayne and today we honor him and his family. www.vvmf.org/Wall-of-Face...

They fired the Librarian of Congress. Dr. Hayden is the first Black female Librarian of Congress. Let’s keep engaging in what they fear….Reading. Read. Use your libraries. Buy books and give them to others. They cannot stop literacy. 📚

Well played Canada! 🇨🇦

The Baltic Way was a peaceful political demonstration which took place on 23 August 1989 when approximately two million people joined their hands forming a 600 km long human chain through the Baltic countries, thus demonstrating their unity in their efforts towards freedom.

A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.

My nasturtium seedlings have more moral courage than my MO congressmen.

“If the war in Ukraine does not end with the complete destruction of Russia and a new Nuremberg trial, a predator that has tasted blood will be left to roam freely in the forest.” — Former Prime Minister of Estonia Mart Laar

It's official: The lunatics are now running the asylum.

Eyeing last frost date window by the daily. Trying to keep all the seedlings happy inside for a few more weeks. 🌱

Representative, in light of recent events, the constituents find that you are not fit for continued employment because your ability, knowledge and/or skills do not fit the constituents’ current needs.

Really shaking things up in Gilead. “Missouri House unanimously approves bill allowing pregnant women to get a divorce.”

Pepper friends, am I putting this in a bigger pot/container? Roots are escaping the cowpot. 🌱

JFC! We’ve got a teenager with full access to the State Department’s data—one who joked about wiping servers after getting fired for leaking a security firm’s info to a competitor. What could go possibly wrong—except permanent damage to our top national secrets and the trust of our allies.

My earliest memory of politics.

⚡️ The historic moment of Estonia leaving the Russian-fed power grid. On February 8, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia left Russia and Belarus energy system. By the end of the day today, they will have joined the European grid.

Väga hea! ❤️Eesti 🇪🇪

Why would a pause on fed $ assistance hurt Missouri? In fiscal year (FY) 2025, Missouri's state budget includes about $24.4 billion in federal aid.

Yeah that second grader with the rumbling tummy and ill fitting shoes is the grifter. No more F&R lunch for you.
