Heads up. This idea is horrifying.

“Freedom Cities” Won’t Solve the Housing Crisis
And with President Trump’s proposed plan to build 10 brand-new cities on federally-owned land, democracy itself is also at stake.

The solutions to today’s problems already exist. What doesn’t exist yet is a big enough movement to challenge the status quo and build a country and economy that centers workers instead of corporations and billionaires.

Our leverage? Hitting them on every front — at their airports, in the states and cities, bankrolling them, and on the campuses that partner with them — until doing ICE’s dirty work costs too much to continue.

A small harvest of sun gold tomatoes and sugar snap peas.

The bigger tomatoes are taking longer to ripen, but wow, when they do, we are going to have to work double time to keep up with processing them!
This photo shows sun gold tomatoes, (which are a range of yellow orange to orange red) and green sugar snap peas laid out on a black towel after harvesting.

Key members like podcaster Pete Quinones use their platforms to push far-right ideas about Jewish people and immigrants. Other members have used their platforms to... advocate measures including “cancellation insurance” for members whose extreme political views might impede their professional lives.

Want to help the rural radio stations in danger of being shut down?

The creator suggests: first, donate (or up your donation) to your local public media station. Then, "adopt" a station that's lost 50% or more of their revenue through the rescission. Congratulations, you've adopted a station!
Adopt A Station - Rescue Public Media
Help preserve independent journalism and community programming across America by adopting a public media station. Congress has voted to rescind public media's funding.

New website for tracking ICE agents. Are your neighbors inflicting harm on others? Now you can find out by checking by state or report them in real time.

icelist.info
This is a screenshot of the ICELiist.info website. There is a black section that is about a fifth of the page size. At the top within this section. There is an icon that has an eagle with the words Ice List in front of it. The rest of the page is a dark gray with large print white words that says, "Real Police Don't Need Masks". Underneath in smaller word, it says "The ICE List is an open journalistic project, created by the Crustian Daily, aimed at collecting and sharing information that can hold ICE members legally accountable." Under this is a red button that reads: Report an Agent.

One of the bonuses of shopping locally, instead of ordering online, is that I get to discover amazing little shops & creators. Today, my friend took me to a new card & gaming shop, and I got this amazing little Game Boy scene to add to my desk. The retro vibe makes me smile!

Upcycling for the win!
This photo shows the top shelf of a desk system with a picture of a plate that has a painted science fiction portal. Next to it is a nonfunctioning shell of a Game Boy advance SP with a hand- created scene atop it. The screen has been altered to read: "Chick Pokémon Torchic." above the words,"Prof. Birch is in trouble. Release a Pokemon and rescue him." A scene with grass, colored rocks, mounds of moss and trees surrounds the Torchic figurine, who is standing between the controller buttons.

Learned a new skill. I am all out of bread bags to gift my bread to my coworkers, so I used the 1st half of this video to make one!

I really appreciate my Summer School team and hope these Rosemaey Parmesan Artisan loaves will be a good thank you gift.

A glass bowl is filled with flour and sprinkled with rosemary. There is a sprig of rosemary resting on the bottom left corner of the bowl. In the top right corner, there is a container of shaved parmesan. And there is a bowl of plain flower in the top right corner. This is a photo of my ingredients for making an artisan loaf of rosemary parmesan bread (with the exception of the salt, garlic powder and water. These are the baked loaves of bread. Recipe: 3 cups of flour 1 1/4 tsp of salt 1 2/3 cup of water 1/2 tsp of yeast Add any extras like cheese, fruit, dried meats, candies, veggies, pickles, etc. Less water for juicy or liquid additives. Mix and set aside over night. After 12-18 hours, remove from the bowl, folding/rolling into shape and set on floured surface for 2 hours. Preheat the oven to 475° with a pan with a lid inside (Dutch oven, can't iron, even pyrex works) Place loaf inside when up to temperature for 30 min with lid on. Remove lid and bake for 15 min more. Eat the whole loaf 🤣 These are parchment paper bags I folded using the YT video. They are sitting on a floury counter with excess groceries behind them.

STEWART: “I feel like I’m watching something so self-evidently inhumane and horrific and to be told I have to shut up because I risk the Jewish state by speaking out? I would say the opposite — they’re putting the likelihood of a surviving Jewish state much more at risk.”

A beautiful summer rainbow means I dont need to water the garden and that our drought is going to improve slightly.

I hope the tomatoes dont burst, but it's so lovely...
This is a picture of a rainbow. On the left upper corner, the sky is a deeper gray split by a thin lip ribbon of rainbow with a lighter gray sky to the right bottom half of the photo, the bottom is lined with the tops of the all green trees that are mostly cedar and a deciduous tree that has turned a bit orange due to the drought.

Summer's beauty.
In this photo, the backdrop is a gray stone wall, and to the left, you can see the growth of a kiwi vine up the wall. In the forefront are pink gladiolus that have bloomed. They are bright fuchsia along the edges with a mix of lighter pink and yellow as it heads towards the center of each flower on the multi-flower stem. The flower reproductive bits are dark purple (3) and white with a pink (1) top. The leaves are a bright spring green color.

My breakdown of the autism Princeton study... part 3

Let’s talk about the why behind the gender distribution of the study because a lot of people are understandably frustrated that nearly 80% of the participants were male.

But first, let's talk about where the participants came from. (1)

My son wants to have a career in math and science. He turned down an internship in tech because the market is swamped with folks already. He's also observed the number of scientists and researchers getting laid off. I hope this doesn't crush his dreams.

I can't imagine how the EPA folks feel 😓 💔

Last night, we watched CNN's John Lewis: Good Trouble and did a candlelight protest. We also had the privilege of listening to a speaker who worked with both Dr. King and John Lewis. He continues engaging in resistance work. It was just what my heart needed.

🚨EPA workers who wrote and signed an open letter warning against the admin’s actions have been put on leave and under “investigation”.

Feds are being punished for speaking out.

Please sign their letter to show you stand with these brave EPA workers!
