This is a huge problem

They freeze great, I just halve them. Then I use them in coffee cake (like this one, works for apricots too cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/3783...) and make a little jam when I want it in the depths of the winter gray to bring back the sun.

Come one, come all to see the amazing Wheel of MAGA Distractions. The perfect diversion for Trump's never-ending barrage of corruption, grifts and donations. Paid-MAGA quickly complies with rage propaganda to distract the media and general public. #TrumpRepublicanCorruption

We need to have a serious conversation about how much fluid Trump is retaining.

Spot on yet again, Piet! 🎯

Would you be a kind person if you were a billionaire? Would you be willing to make a difference? Evidence is that extreme wealth is generally incongruous with human decency

It was in danger before Citizens United. A whole political party decided the truth did not matter. Hired an actor to begin the process with his lying racial stereotypes to appeal to South. Then Gingrich showed Soviet Style Big Lie works. Then Fox, etc.. to Trump and Supine GOP in Congress.

The problem of course is checks are not, can not be, self-actuating. In the current case, numerous checks should have derailed Trump. He was indicted, convicted. Yet any system of governance ultimately relies on integrity and good faith. Our system, flood with money in pursuit of power, failed.

A bare, tepid, 7-Eleven hot dog of a human being. "You think the 60% of Americans who are living paycheck to paycheck can afford lobster tails and ribeyes and all of that?" Martinez asked. "Maybe not," Nehs responded. "Maybe 60% of America don't work as hard as I do either”

True. Now Trump is finding that attack insufficient, so he’s calling Democrats “communists”. I don’t understand that: His favorite world leader is a communist. Perhaps Trump’s real connection with Putin is that he’s a kleptocrat, too.

Evoking “socialism” these days is a rightwing conceit, really a slur, that works among a critical mass of Americans who don’t understand their school, military, library, highway, etc, are socialist programs, and who are so sheltered they don’t know about the higher Nordic standards of living.

A budget reconciliation bill is immune to a filibuster, but in order to qualify, it cannot include provisions that are unrelated to taxes, spending, or the budget. The Senate parliamentarian is just doing her job.

Some people die from heat; others just die when it happens to be hot. In 2023, the physician Ben Mazer wrote about the science (and politics) of “heat-related” death:

The immigration center known as 'Alligator Alcatraz' is closing after nearly a year of holding thousands of immigrant detainees, according to Ron DeSantis.

My Latest: When we accept that the president lies, we cheapen the value of truth. When we accept his attacks on Democratic leaders and opposition figures, we destigmatize and thus enable the weaponization of government. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/trum...

This thread. The Trump “scandal” is different in kind. Mortality sins against the country, its people, other countries, humanity, and nature themselves. Per Bannon they flooded the zone, obliterated common sense and decency.

Someday we will know the whole truth of how Musk and Republicans fiddled the 2024 election results. I'm not a conspiracy theorist. I do believe we have under-reported this story.
