Life long reader, gardener, dog lover, and Democrat. My most recent obsession is The Criterion channel. Although I live in NC now, I will always be a Californian in my heart. 📚🌳🐕🦺💙🎥
This is madness. I can’t believe that Duffy is forcing them to remove safety information because he doesn’t like bike lanes. We went from “here’s money to make more bike lanes & trails” to “remove all information about bike lines.” (More) proof that who is elected to be president does matter.
I don’t usually post memes but this one really hit home.
Even though poppies don’t do well in NC, I used to start Shirley poppies from seed every February and then plant them out in April.
There’s also a baptism pool at the state fair. That should be very tasty considering people are being immersed in their clothing.
The is beyond insane. Like the 850,000 fireworks being exploded, this is unnecessary, expensive, damaging to air quality, but most of all a huge middle finger to the residents of DC.
The pictures are so heartbreaking. I am not big into symbols or revere the WH but it’s truly hard not to be moved by the before & after.
We were loving the Nordic version when we got our beloved giant schnauzer so we named her Saga after the lead. Saga died 2 years ago but she was quite the warrior princess: strong, beautiful, and smart.
We had a flicker stay with us in NC for a few days, probably on its way to Mexico. I got some nice pictures of the golden underwings and the white butt flying away.
They actually forced a woman to go back to the hospital to get a C-section! The judge sent police to her home! How is this legal?
Same, lame argument. They never provide proof that trans women using the women’s bathroom results in serious consequences. They never even bother to explain what the supposed issue is.
Those kids weren’t missing in the sense that their families had lost them, only in that the immigration system had lost track of them. And note that the figures go back to Trump’s first term.
The original sin of this country was slavery and we continue to bathe in its poison. Generations are still taught that other cultures, other races are inferior and can be treated with contempt.
Uh oh. Quick lock up the trolley carts! Keep calm and carry on.
NPR shopped at a Walmart in Georgia & bought 114 items in 2024 & in 2025. www.npr.org/2026/01/14/n...
Homeland Security is clarifying in case you were confused. They envision a 💯 White America and if they have to get rid of over 1/3 of everyone living here, so be it.
I’ve been thinking it’s time for protestors to start embracing the Don’t Tread on Me flag. Like the American flag, the Gadsden flag is part of our history & we shouldn’t allow the Right to co-opt it. Think how befuddled ICE agents will be when we confront them with one of their own favorite symbols.
I can’t imagine treating another human being like this.
Here’s the list of Republican seats up for election this year. Even if voters were very unhappy and Dems managed to pick up 3 seats that means they would have 50 votes total with the VP being the tie breaker.
I saw the new food pyramid and I was shocked. Grains are now the worst foods you can eat according to this crazy administration. I hope that schools are not teaching this. Imagine telling Americans that beef should be their main food choice at a time when beef prices have skyrocketed.
A reminder that Trump’s communication director said he would continue to end wars because “he has the heart of a humanitarian…” Nothing about starting new wars, however. 🤔
I’ve been tracking Trump’s dementia symptoms since 2016. The outward signs of his descent into senility are coming faster and more obvious. I had thought his handlers would respond by keeping him out of the public eye as he got worse but it looks like the plan is to normalize his behavior.
Thanks to the libs, all of the sandwich pictures are making me very hungry. 🤤
Noel usually knows what he’s talking about but this would truly shock me. I would have bet the house that Trump’s equipment hasn’t worked for some time. I would love for it to be true just to see how his base reacts to Melania being replaced. The Xtians will all rush to forgive him of course.
Trump hated the FBI because they investigated him so he plotted his revenge and boy was it complete. He put Kash Patel—a man with no experience except in pumping up conspiracy theories—in charge. What a slap in the face for every person at the bureau.
I’ve recently discovered Cholula Cremosa cilantro lime sauce and I put it on everything!
