Since the Dow is at 47,500 are we allowed to talk about Epstein now?

No interruptions, please. We’re building universal child care.

Shabbat Shalom! שבת שלום Thinking of our loved ones in bomb shelters tonight!

I think Sorrel’s ensuring we don’t forget to take her to Chiswick Flower Market tomorrow! 🌱🇬🇧

Every act of courage matters. Thank you all for standing up for what it means to love our neighbors as we love ourselves. Know that you are NOT alone. Peace! 🕊 "Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy." ~ Jesus Christ, Matthew 5:7 (RSV) 🕊 www.youtube.com/watch?v=dAQt...

There was a time when the office of the President of the United States stood as a symbol of integrity. Leaders like President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama reminded the country what that standard looks like at its best.

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff. Democracy dies in oligarchy.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

My Cavs are playing in Philly tonight, so TV showed a close-up picture of the Liberty Bell. All I could think was, McFelon is going to have it melted down and turned into a bust of himself. (Insane times we live in.)

When there is so much hatred, anger, and violence in the world, that is precisely the right time to continue to exude our love, happiness, and compassion for other living beings.

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

Every small glimmer of hope takes on added significance these days:

Think I'll Make A Costco Run Today......

Today the President called for the execution of members of Congress, and the Coast Guard declared that swastikas are fine. I’m beginning to suspect this…isn’t…normal? But seriously. Lord, have mercy on our nation.

Wonder why you haven't heard much about the Proud Boys lately? It's because they're called ICE now.

I will never forget this one

“It is not our differences that divide us. It is our inability to recognize, accept and celebrate those differences.” — Audre Lorde 🌱📷

Nature has a way of reminding me that I am never completely in control of my garden. Here we have volunteer salvia (pink) happily invading the culinary sage. Perhaps they are having a play date for cousins:

We are near the end here in Zone 5. Yet, these guys refuse to believe it:

@albertsnail.bsky.social It is fading, but there is still plenty going on here:

Huge difference…

Ok, the herb garden got a little haircut. Now what do I do?

Are any other gardeners crazy enough to wash, dry and store these guys so they can be reused next year? The cost is negligible. It’s more about managing our carbon footprint and trying (perhaps symbolically) to imitate nature, where nothing goes to waste.

Our freedom to live without government-sanctioned religion is central to the First Amendment.

You betcha!
