What a gorgeous color! I had one bloom this color ONE year, then I haven't seen that stunning hue again. It's definitely about the soil. Goals! (My photo, not so great.)

In Oakland, California, Mother Jones senior editor Michael Mechanic interviewed a man named Justin, asking him if, as a Black man, he had particular concerns about the actions of the Trump administration.
Justin answered: “You know…a lot of times I have a hopeless feeling, but…being out here today just reminds me about the beauty of America and American protests. And, you know, the fact that they tried to…stomp on this, step on this, you know, say it’s non-American, because that’s what I’ve been reading a lot about. No, this is the point of America right here: to be able to have this opportunity to protest…. [This] does not look like Antifa, Hamas, none of this stuff that they’re talking about…. [Y]ou know, this is the beauty of America.”

DON’T SAY GREEN: The party of free speech is at it again. Department of Energy employees were given a list this week of banned words they are to avoid using in their work, per a leaked email obtained by NPR. Prohibited words and phrases include “climate change,” “decarbonization,” “clean energy,” and “energy transition,” with their prohibition extending, per NPR, “to the Energy Department website, internal reports and public documents, including those that describe federal funding opportunities.”

Benny Johnson, the podcaster on whose show [FCC chair] Carr threatened Kimmel, was one of the influencers Russian state media funded to spread propaganda before the 2024 election. After Kimmel’s suspension, Johnson posted on social media: “We did it for you, Charlie. And we’re just getting started.”

Great Mother Jones article:

These two big themes of Trump's presidency
—his treatment of women and his far-right immigration policies-first fused for me in reporting I did during Trump's 2016 campaign. At the time, my investigation revealed that models working for his prized firm, Trump Model Management, were brought into the United States on tourist visas that did not allow them to work.
Former Trump models told me they were encouraged to mislead federal officials and instructed to lie on customs forms….

Now that’s a headline

Lack of budgeted funds caused the warning system to be inadequate. The result is pictured, unnecessary deaths.

Read this right after I saw this news. Hard to embrace beauty when the cruelty and ugliness is so very depressing.

I met a Fluffy Frenchie recently who was indeed irresistible. He was soft and sweet but wouldn’t hold still long enough for a good photo! His color is described as lilac.
