"A nation that destroys its soils destroys itself. Forests are the lungs of our land, purifying the air and giving fresh strength to our people."

New vocabulary of the week:
(Repeat after me?)
Election Rigging Response Act (CA Proposition 50)
It’s a response to offset the electoral power grab in Texas.
It’s waiting for the referendum(Nov.4)
Thank you, Gov. Newsom, for the swift move.
You and your fellow psychotic leftists are fucked in the head. You're literally the same as Magats in that you'll gladly let America burn to a crisp just to 'own the libs'. FUCK YOU!! 🖕🖕
After President Biden left office,Democrats lost their balance.
No clear voice, no strong center.
But that’s changing.
Newsom isn’t just talking — he’s doing the work.
We haven’t lost because of GOP strength.
When we’ve lost, it’s been from within.
2026 is in play.
2028? Newsom’s still in play.
For everyone who doesn’t want to vote for Newsom then you might as well vote for whoever the MAGA candidate will be! Is he perfect? No. But nobody is. 💯💯💯
For the life of me I can’t understand why the rest of the Democratic Party hasn’t seized on Newsom’s strategy.
Why Gavin Newsom's social media posts trolling Trump are oddly effective
Newsom boxes in his critics while illustrating the absurdity of Trump's communication style.

Here’s what was NOT released today:
- the proffer agreement between Maxwell and the DoJ
- the agreement transferring Maxwell to club fed
- communications showing who waived Maxwell’s sex offender status allowing her transfer and possible work assignments outside prison
- the Epstein files
Donald Trump says he is going to deploy the National Guard to Chicago. This is what weak men do to pretend they’re strong.
Stay safe, stand with your community, and most importantly, know your rights:
I couldn’t agree more!

Jeffries says he "still has a lot to say" (it's pretty clear he's going for the record for longest Magic Minute speech)
Flipping back and forth between CNN and MSNBC wondering if they're showing any part of the House fight over the biggest bill in recent history and, no, they're reporting on Puff Daddy's trial and something about hot dogs, so
Representative Hakeem Jeffries of New York has now passed the four-hour mark in his floor speech. Keep going, we’re with you!
If someone doesn’t ask Karoline Leavitt why she posted on social media that this bill includes no taxes on Social Security when she knows it is a lie and she intentionally lied to the American people, everyone in the room should lose their jobs.

Huge handful of rosemary in a mug
I have spent today mainly getting stuff wrong. But people have been very cheering. This splendid rosemary from @artefactual.bsky.social is wonderfully soothing. I may cocktail it at some point but for now it is a cooling room freshener
What they aren’t showing on Fox News
The cruelty in today's politics feels horribly corrosive. Bringing up that hard-working immigrant families — undocumented, yes, but not violent criminals — are being ripped apart based on immigration status doesn't bring compassion or even pause, but gleeful cheers.
