I made Rainbow Plant Life's vegan breakfast cookies, but they turned out tasting stale. Not the recipe’s fault, I think the oats were a little long in the tooth. Gotta ditch them, buy new product, and try again. See? I’m not a domestic goddess.

Trump has fully or partly blocked entry into the United States for citizens of four nation-states whose teams have already qualified: Ivory Coast, Haiti, Iran, and Senegal.

I have learned so much from @haymarketbooks.org. Whenever they run free specials like this, they are well worth your time.

Systems built to erase or punish trans folks - esp before they become adults - aren't rooted in "protecting" anyone, but in the imperative to maintain male supremacism. For men to be dominant it must be clear who & what a man is. Like all supremacist ideologies, it's evil.

Voting NO on the DHS funding bill is the bare minimum.

Backing Kristi Noem’s impeachment is the bare minimum.

Holding law-breaking ICE agents legally accountable is the bare minimum.

ICE is beyond reform. Abolish it.

There is no way in hell the United States under the Trump regime can host the World Cup in a few months.

They are murdering citizens in broad daylight, threatening war against NATO, and lawlessly kidnapping children and foreign heads of state.

The world has to organize a boycott. It’s not safe.

The president should be impeached and convicted, as should everyone responsible for these outrages. ICE should be disbanded. So should the Department of Homeland Security. And the people who have killed should be investigated and brought before judges and juries.
We have to see the logic of the killings as well as the killings themselves. The horror is a truth in itself. But it is also a sign of a political logic, one known from the totalitarian regimes of the twentieth century.

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

I made a vegan stew today, following a recipe from the Rainbow Plant Life meal plans. It has cannellini beans, mirepoix (carrot. onion, and celery), kale and basil, and slow roasted tomatoes with onion, garlic, and thyme.

"And if my parents had made a different choice, I wouldn't be here today leading Congress into helpless irrelevancy, providing cover for a brutal American dictator, setting the stage for World War III, and ... hang on, hang on, let me start again."
Mike Johnson: "I was the product of an unplanned teen pregnancy exactly one year before Roe. A lot of people tried to convince my very young parents that they should just take care of that problem. But I am eternally grateful that they allowed me the chance at life."

This is bad not just because of the direct infections but there's growing research that suggests vaccines also stave off things (like dementia) that we don't typically associate with vaccine prevention.
One of the things I was most worried about is starting to come to fruition.

RFK Jr. will succeed in eliminating all of our vaccines if allowed to remain in office. His disinformation campaign and the falling demand for vaccines will cause American companies to stop making them.

Just another shot of these pretty tulips. I bought two bunches, one pink, and one white and pink. I love how perfectly they go together.
