I believe the diversity of life is sacred. The diversity of human cultures too. I'm a gardener #NativePlants, vegan, computationalist, and a seed distributor. Trying to stop the 6th global extinction event by reconnecting humans with their ecosystems.
Or attends more meetings to organize resistance or attends more protests?
Many are complacent. IMO people still buying from Amazon rise to the level of complicit. I spend a significant portion of my time at active resistance. I'm calling you out for being counterproductive, not for hurt feelings.
It's not "don't divide us," fool, it's don't legitimate the fascist regime by spreading the false narrative that they are ruling by the will of the people here.
Complicit... Want to measure who does better at boycotting the oligarchy and climate destroying corporations or who makes more calls?
If you're going to spread the idea that the American people want this, and help deepen the divide between the people and their former allies, so it will be harder for us to get leverage on the fascist regime, you might as well see if Musk will pay you. He has spent billions on doing that through X.
FEBRUARY 2, 1968
In the dark is the moon, in flying snow, in the dead of winter,
war spreading, families dying, the world in danger,
I walk the rocky hillside, sowing clover.

Told him with a little help for Iran. Go figure. Told him with a few dead people that neither of them care about, for once US troops. So many times it is a genocidal 'accident' from USIsreal against PoC and Indigenous peoples that my urge to express outrage is curbed by awareness of relative scale.
Great quote! I have a lot of Wendell Berry on my book shelf. Big fan.
It is time to look to the Peoples who managed to live as part of the ecosystem for thousands of years, boosting biodiversity by their management instead of blighting it. Time to think in terms of 7 generations. #LandBack
Strong beautiful young animals worked in a hysterical vigor that frequently results in death or life altering injury which becomes death because no one wants to feed a horse who can't run....
But the fans really love the horses, right?
Once you take them in, they are family. If you can no longer care for a family member, and you're not doing everything you can to get them in a good home with friends or family, what TF is wrong with you?
We had to sell our house, and are so grateful to have been able to keep our three rescues.
How is everybody so obsessed with the fact that the fraudster felon and child rapist who partnered with Jeffrey Epstein to provide little girls and boys for the oligarchy to rape, and also unleased a Gestapo-like racist secret police against us, then started an illegal war also wore a baseball cap?
Speaking out against the genocidal state that happens to be Jewish is not antisemitism. That's Israeli propaganda. Zionism and the state of Israel are evil, not the Jewish people.
Speaking out against the genocidal foreign power buying off our politicians, looting our treasury ≠ hate speech.
I've been doing a little tracking of the #Traitorous7, just to try to point out to people that were seeing the tip of an iceberg of AIPAC and corporate PAC funded 'Dems' who will work to undermine resistance, coordinated by the current 'Dem' leaders, controlled by fascist billionaires who fund PACs.
I didn't mean you specifically, I meant all of us should tell our employers to boycott AWS. We're shit at divesting. Pissed off libs protest, go home, and buy from Amazon, paying for the regime they protest.
But data centers as military infrastructure was the point. Sorry I got distracted.
Good, they have it right. If the fascist regime of the US is their enemy, then clearly Amazon is their enemy. As a central part of the oligarchy, they ARE the regime.
Every purchase from Amazon is serving the oligarchy. Yes, obviously boycott Amazon, but also ask your employer to stop using AWS.
Not bloodlust, it's more sinister. It's a distraction from the fact that he rapes children and helped Epstein traffic them, and a bribe to the military industrial complex.
Every time we describe what he does as impulsive and stupid we're missing the point. He already staged a successful coup.
Just remember, when he said that he probably was thinking about distracting you from the fact that he's a pedophile and sex-trafficker.
We should be making it impossible for Maura Healey to ICE over her weak response with strong words. The news on the topic is all about Healey's strong legislation against ICE, even though she's working with them.
Protests at her every appearance in public would probably help.
Respect for this AIPAC sellout? He sends our tax money to commit genocide.
Respect because his card hasn't been called for a vote that's obviously a betrayal of his constituents? Other than looting... when we weed out more of the traitors who obey a genocidal foreign power, they'll call his card.
You fund a genocidal foreign power with our taxes in exchange for campaign donations. The AIPAC money comes mainly from right-wing billionaires who are hoping for some good real estate in Palestine. You won't actually resist growing ICE, the Imperialist Boomerang gestapo trained by the IOF.
Yep. Follow their campaign donations and their votes, not their speeches. I've been fooled when I looked the other way on campaign donations because I bought in on the speeches.
Jasmine is a case in point. I believed in her. Then Renee got shot and Jasmine thought we'd miss HR7006 in the fallout.
Wow, they are stunning! And that's a huge cementary.
I am always impressed by the garden displays of Alliums where they stand out of the ground like alien lollipops.
I love the old bridge slumping into the water, and the rivers' edge. Gorgeous shots. My attention always fixes on a plant though 🫢
Allium (Onion) seed heads look great in the center there. Lovely. Are they wild or cultivated Alliums?
"She's not familiar with the details <of the shooting of Renee Good>."
I believe she has had her head up Trump's ass since before then, but not that far. That's such a blatant lie.
That's probably true. At least he won't be spending billions on bombs that vaporize human beings and hide evidence of slaughter. The same country controlling our politicians and looting our treasury is thrilled to see fascism come to the US.
So I'm happy to have Mr. Casino over Ms. Genocide.
And yes "not a sellout, owned by a genocidal foreign power" is my bar for saying someone is far more trustworthy than any of the 153 "Democrats" who voted to send billions of our tax $ to assist a genocide with bombs that vaporize bodies and hide the evidence.
We need to show up to the primaries.
He did. I was for Crockett, until she voted 'yea' on #HR7006.
Talarico took a campaign bribe from a right-wing billionaire.
But he's not an AIPAC sellout, owned by a genocidal foreign power. I don't 100% trust him (like I trust Kat Abuhgazale) but I trust him more than establishment Dems.
Talarico will make a difference. I'm not convinced another AIPAC Democrat in the Senate is a win; they'll just vote with the will of their constituents until it matters, and Israel tells them not to.
Show up to primaries! Check @trackaipac.co. Then we'll worry about getting people to "vote blue."
Oh neat! I didn't realize how widespread Turritis glabra was. I know where to find some growing wild in meadows of New England, USA
They talk about other cousins (Smartweeds) in Feeding Cahokia. They were a crop long before corn was a staple here, in the Eastern US. They go way back, like gourds.

Wow, what a pretty Persicaria! The Smartweed I find growing around the Charles River and in my yard has dense little flower heads of florets a quarter cm or less
