for me “doom scrolling” is actually just the pathological hunt for the first piece of news that indicates this whole unbearable moment is about to unravel

It’s a tricky one to grow! They don’t tolerate any transplanting so you gotta start from seed at the location. Use nail clippers to nick edge of seed to help germination, and order lupine soil inoculant from prairie moon to plant with it - species is super reliant on specific soil microbes.

Here's a few photos of the mature flowers from a couple years back. Most of this species are pink but this patch tends to produce a lot of quite purple ones too!

Lupinus villosus 'Lady Lupine' baby inflorescence in North Florida. The characteristic dense soft hairs seen here, called villi, give this species it's name. A very villous lupine!

Really great article providing overview of Trump pardoning notorious drug trafficker and then also working to make sure he’s not deported. I guess 360 tons of cocaine is the magic number to import into the U.S. if you want to avoid deportation

Attorney General Ken Paxton Takes Legal Action Against Houston-Based Antifa Organization Engaged in Doxing and the Commission of Terrorism

AUSTIN - Attorney General Ken Paxton has initiated legal action against Screwston Anti-Fascist Committee ("Screwston"), an Antifa-affiliated unincorporated nonprofit association, for potentially violating Texas law.

"Radical leftists have engaged in coordinated efforts to militantly attack our nation and undermine the rule of law. Screwston and related ted groups have illegally doxed Texans ans and encouraged violent terrorism against fellow citizens," said Attorney General Paxton. "These deranged traitors will face the full force of law. No stone will e left unturned, and no tool will be left unused."

The investigation aims to determine the exact nature of Screwston's involvement in unlawful activity, including aiding in the commission of terrorism and "doxing," in violation of Texas law. The organization is self- admittedly affiliated with Antifa, which has been designated by President Donald Trump as a terrorist organization. Additionally, reported members of Screwston affiliates recently participated in an armed assault on an Immigration and Customs Enforcement ("ICE") facility in Alvarado, Texas. Merchandise sold by the group promotes the death of ICE agents and encourages violence by mentally ill "transgender" individuals.

As part of the investigation, Attorney General Paxton has issued a Request to Examine to Screwston, which is a legal demand for records and documents that will be used to identify the scope of legal violations committed by the organization.

And now comes the most nauseating part of this whole goddamn mess: the hypocrisy. The same loud-mouthed idiots who spent years screaming about tyranny are suddenly dead fucking silent, or worse, cheering, now that it's their side doing it. "ThEy'Re cOminG fOr OuR gUnS!" "GoVerNMenT oVerReAch!" "ShAll nOt bE inFrinGeD!" All that chest-thumping bullshit evaporated the second armed federal agents started terrorizing people they don't like.
Let me get this straight: a civilian gets shot dead by federal agents, and the only thing you brainless cunts can muster is
"well, DHS says he had a gun"? THAT'S your red line? Guns are sacred when they're strapped to your waist, but magically become a death sentence when they're used as a post-hoc excuse by the government? Either the Second Amendment applies to everyone, or you never believed in it at all. Fucking pick one and own it.
This is exactly what tyranny looks like, by the way. Not jackboots marching in formation, but armed agents roaming neighborhoods, stopping people, killing civilians, and then daring the public to question it. Tyranny is execution followed by a press release. Tyranny is labeling the dead a "threat" so the state doesn't have to explain why someone's life just ended in the street. Tyranny is demanding obedience while shredding due process and calling it order.
And all you so-called "freedom lovers" are fucking fine with it, as long as it's brown people, immigrants, protesters, or anyone you've already dehumanized. Turns out "don't tread on me" actually meant "tread on them." You weren't afraid of tyranny.
You were afraid of losing dominance. There's a difference, and this moment exposes it completely.
"Just comply" isn't a principle. It's cowardice dressed up as common sense. It's the language of people who have already accepted that the state gets to decide who deserves rights and who doesn't. And once you make that deal, don't act shocked when the line moves, because it always fuckin…

So the plan is Don Jr. and Eric Trump corner the market to become the biggest drug cartel in the Western hemisphere.

CIA controls production, the US military kills the competition with Hellfire missiles, CBP controls drug routes into and out of the US, and ICE raids the local distributors?

Imo nobody should ever "hand it" to MTG. She's still a white supremacist, bigoted, extreme-right, transphobic piece of shit. She does NOT care about Palestinian lives, and she doesn't oppose Trump for any of the same reasons that I do. She needs to go the fuck away.
