Have I mentioned lately what an amazing friend you are? Because you are. β₯οΈ
If it does not stop raining soon, itβs going to harsh my damn mellow. There are not enough meds in the world for this lack of light IN MAY.
And this will surprise no one who knows meβ¦
I. HATE. PACKING. FOR
RITES OF SPRING.
That is all citizens.
Carry on.

A good tldr commentary in plain English:

This reads to me like a crafty way to declare Martial Law before actually manufacturing the crisis it would require to legally declare it.
The courts had better fight this with everything theyβve got, and we should support them by making noise in the streets. Turning the military on your own citizenry is frowned upon by the Constitution of The United States (and most sane people who are not authoritarian despots). πͺ‘π§΅
If you havenβt read this yet, youβll want to.
It is paving the way toward Martial law, and immunity for police officers that commit crimes under color of authority. πͺ‘π§΅

Well, the wee garden is under way for the year. Some raised beds are tilled and fertilized with composted cow poo, and covered, awaiting plants. πͺ΄ Others got the same treatment, but are now holding lettuce, spinach, kale, shallots, and dill. The season of growing has officially begun! Yay!
Especially when you are erasing all traces of those pioneers in science from NASAβs websites because they are women and POCs.
Get real.
This is Temu Space Travel.
In case you were wondering, this is what women astronauts look like. People who studied & trained to bring information back from space for the benefit of humanity. Heroines like Christa McAuliffe. Not some spoiled oligarchβs glorified 13 minute bachelorette billed as a, βhuge moment for women.βπ
I love the Phoebes! My dad and I used to sit on our porch and call to them. Such sweet little beings. β₯οΈ
Just going to float something here.
I think JD βI wear jeans when I skiβ Vance and Commander Fred Waterford from Handmaidβs Tale are the same dude.
I have never once seen them in the same place at the same time.
Discuss amongst yourselves.
Donβt screw around, friends. Get out and protest while you still can. We need to make it *very clear* that the citizens of the United States will NOT stand for this.
Elbows up.
F DONALD TRUMP.
This is unconscionable and unconstitutional.
Deporting people seeking asylum from tyranny is inhumane enough, deporting people who were born here because they dissent? Well, that is as fascist as fascist gets.

Cβmon Josh.
Come cozy up to my gentle feminine spirit and see what happens.
Still femme.
Still feral.
Just a fair warning that if you roll up to me and say, βDeus Vult,β in any context, itβs going to earn you a punch in the junk.
Iβm a bit salty about this between the House passing the SAVE Act (with the help of 4 Democrats) today, and Christofascist White Nationalist lunatics like this:
Oh my Gods, these people just *suck*.
Brilliant, you get rid of all the immigrant laborers by being racist chuckleheads, and now you want to also exploit children because you didnβt think about the consequences to your labor force. π
Messing around with pieced paper color wheels and color-mixing (watercolor and acrylics) for a Wanderlust assignment. Joyful explosions of color!
My art practice is centering my joyβ and that too is an act of ecstatic rebellion.
Joy matters.
Especially now.
Just for balance with my storm of political comments lately, I have been making mixed media art. Lots of it.
When that bill comes due, itβs going to be incredibly ugly, and she will no doubt cry βunfair!β Just the way she is doing with the Wisconsin election results.
I find her loathsome. She sells other women/femmes down the river for brownie points with an administration that actively harms them.
Majorie Taylor Greene has all the hallmarks of that girl in school who would do or say anything to be popular. She keeps voting for the pain and suffering of others, thinking it will never touch her because she is βspecial & protected.β πͺ‘π§΅
.
Unbelievably unkind and gross behavior. Cruelty is a feature of this administration, not a bug.
This is some seriously backward, gross bullshit.
Profit over protecting children. Gross.
Florida, do the right thing.
Please donβt turn a blind eye. This isnβt who we are.
Imagine if this were you, or your child.
Talk about it.
Keep calling your representatives.
These abuses will not stop until we protest & resist.
Do not comply ahead of time. Executive Orders are not laws.

This was the crowdβs response:

Everyone is entitled to due process under the law, and according to our Constitution.
Everyone.
If they donβt have that right, it is also being stripped from *you.*
This is not for individual politicians to decide. They are not above the law.
This is fascism.

Tesla paid 0 taxes last year. None.
Yet DOGE feels that it is only financially responsible to cut food bank funding. Food bank funding⦠you know, for folks who are starving?!?
Including in Flint, Michigan.
Billionaires protect their money, not you.
Resist.

Good to know!
I am still a little lost here and getting used to things.
That gives me hope. :)
