Sen Chris Murphy (D-CT) to Face the Nation: “I don't have any obligation to fund a Department of Homeland Security that is violating the law every day, just like I don't have any obligation to support this war that is illegal as well.”

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed." -Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953

So just to be clear - Hegseth’s Pentagon is shooting down our own drones with lasers in Texas — but they want Anthropic to put fully autonomous killer robots in their hands? What could go wrong?

1/2 DOJ “reviewing” missing Epstein files only after reporters caught them. FBI interviews vanish. Victims exposed. Power protected. This isn’t incompetence—it’s institutional rot. Sunlight wasn’t optional. It was the law. Release everything. Now. #ReleaseTheFiles #NoMoreCoverUps

Colorado Sunrise this morning, 23 February.

Soon. Dendrobium Hawaii Stripes. 🌱

Yet somehow Republicans have managed to fool the public into thinking they're better about spending, deficits and debts.

Wow! This is some top-notch investigative journalism. The report claims the 3 million Epstein files released are only 2% of the total. The massive scale of what’s still missing is hard to comprehend.

My mom sent me a link to this bookshop website that curates interesting and unusual books. Great looking selection, here. societyforunusualbooks.com

In terms of what cures are being lost: - Epstein-Barr virus is perhaps the major trigger for multiple sclerosis - herpes simplex virus causes cold sores, genital herpes, infections in babies, deadly meningitis - shingles virus causes an intensely painful disease

As I say here, there is no scientific justification to revoke the engagement finding. In fact, over the last 15+ yrs, the evidence of how climate change affects our health has only grown. Higher risk of allergies, dementia, fertility, heart disease, and death: that’s what’s on the line. @nature.org

Billionaire donor lobbied Trump administration hours before attack on bridge to Canada

Pepsi and Walmart engaged in a conspiracy to price fix and were about to get bailed for it when the TACO DOJ decided to drop the case. I truly truly fucking hate what that asshole has done to the rule of law. Truly, deep in my bones.

Why did convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein pay Ohio State University’s head of gynecology quarterly payments of thousands of dollars??? 😡😡 www.nbc4i.com/news/local-n...

Zygopetalum Louisendorf 'Rhein Moonlight' in bloom. I’m in love with this one - smells sweet. 🩷🌱

Here are some nice flowers. Zygopetalum, I think “Pretty Ann.” 🌱

hard to think of a better example of "you may not believe in class war, but billionaires know they're in one" than this

Dendrobium Hibiki blooming and growing new canes🩷🌱

The public made noise for Liam Ramos and it got him released from Dilley. Now we must make noise for 7 year old Diana Crespo. Her parents were taking her for emergency medical care when ICE grabbed them, and she’s rotting in the camp sick and exposed to measles. Get them out!

We gotta come up with a better system than “everything rests on whether these twelve billionnaires are nice”

BREAKING: The two federal immigration agents who fired on Minneapolis protester Alex Pretti are identified in government records as Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa and Customs and Border Protection officer Raymundo Gutierrez.

DOJ has since killed this link. This is what was there:

I AM NOT APOLOGIZING for posting this pornography. If you don’t see and read it, then you can pretend it never happened. If this is what DOJ is leaving IN, I can’t even image what they are redacting out. #Epstein #PedoPresident

Ossoff: "This is a seismic event. This should have people across the country absolutely shook. This is a huge deal. This is an FBI raid on the Fulton County Elections office ... This is a shot across the bow at the midterm elections. He tried to steal power when he lost it in 2020."

One of the best things I’ve read in a while:

Rebloom of one of the phal orchids I adopted last year.

All the major news outlets are now owned by right wing lunatics. They abolished the antitrust laws, and well, now you can't trust them. Odd how that works isn't it.

This is stunning. Listen to this in Philadelphia. Thousands singing “Hey-Oh, we won’t be silent while our friends are gunned down.” Really listen to it.

Caturday vibes with my orange. #caturday #orangecat

Spent the holidays repotting and staging my orchids. Phals, dendrobiums, oncidiums. Bought some humidity trays.

Trump is a damned war criminal. Where is our Congress??? John Roberts & his SCOTUS have done so much damage by declaring a president immune from our laws. As a citizen I do not agree with this Venezuelan war of Trump's. Stay focused. This is all to avoid the Epstein files, videos and photos.
