Relishing the view on a fabulous evening from my front porch

Big Ernie & little Pedro snuggling on a cold evening

We found this big guy under a fallen pallet at the garden center I manage a couple of weeks ago 1st pic is his position under the pallet 2nd Pic is his highly suspicious stance after we moved him to a cozy cave in the display garden

UFC fighter Bryce Mitchell rescinds his support for Trump, suggesting he’s the biblical Antichrist.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 84th day out of the last 96. 12 days of work in over 3 months. With full pay and benefits. The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown. It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

The momentous ptotest in my small, blood red town of Summerville, Ga included folks between 80+ and 1 year olds. Most of our supporters honking were 20 somethings. Note this moment

No Kings protest under blue skies in my tiny little town of Summerville, GA! More than 70 people showed up & we got lots of love from passers-by. This is a big deal round these here parts ya'll 🇺🇸

Ready for the No Kings protest in my tiny, blood-red county in Nw Georgia. Thought it best to speak to the local mindset

My brave Bloomstruck Hydrangea . . . Look closely @ the 1st panel & you'll notice it's been well pruned by the deer @ the bottom. It would NOT be "deertered" . . . It overcame seemingly insurmountable odds & found a way to persevere We must do the same, my friends

Post this everywhere‼️ -and- RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES

Our National Parks are at risk. ⚠️ From the rugged Lakes to the sweeping South Downs, these landscapes define us and our future. They sustain wildlife, communities and our wellbeing - and they must be protected. A future that puts them at risk isn't what anyone voted for.

Dew drenched spider & her web while on my foggy morning walk

Chief Decision Maker in the WhiteHouse . . . Stephen Miller Fingers distance delineate how much time till he completely takes over for trump?

If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage. The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.” It’s about control.

The U.S. doesn't appear to fully comprehend how the slow progression of fascism works, it doesn't just stop by posting on social media. Take a look at what opposition looks like around the world.🔥🔥🔥

CEO pay is up 1,094% since 1978, while worker pay is up just 26%. Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

Clematis 'Belle of Woking' ... I selected this variety to grow out for the garden center I manage in rural NW GA so I'd have a little more "woke" in my life. Turned out quite pretty 🥰

Well, they need a lot of bombs,

Agree with Mayor Pete.......

The divide is their goal. They've achieved that. The "elites" fail to see what many of us poor slobs realize. It's the "haves" vs. the "have nots." They must keep us at each other's throats in order to keep us off off of theirs

Marvin ain't happy about the state of stuff right now #tongueouttuesday

This . . .

The admittedly authoritarian "nation and homeland party" recruiting on BlueSky is hilarious as well as disturbing because they have over 700 followers 🥺

Charlie Kirk Shooter Exposes MAJOR Problem @adammockler.com with @meidastouch.com Network argues that the debate over the ideology of Charlie Kirk's killer is missing the point. The real issue is a "broader pattern" of young men being radicalized online youtu.be/OPc1hIR68wY

And here’s something most people don’t know: Through the National Weather Service, NOAA sits side-by-side with FEMA in the National and Regional Response Coordination Center during major disasters to provide real time information that helps inform response. 8/9
