When snapdragon (Antirrhinum) blooms fall away, they leave tiny skull-shaped seed pods, eerie little relics of summer. Old #folklore says they keep harm from the garden as the nights grow longer, their hollow faces keeping watchful guard over the fading year. #gardening #autumn

Very, very few people die from murder or terrorism, but you'd never know that from the media. ALL of our perceptions are warped by what the media chooses to cover, chooses to center, and chooses to ignore. Keep that in mind at all times.

The amount is meaningless — less than one day of salary. But the principle is important: once the armed services are paid by the oligarchs, they become a private militia, and we no longer have a country.

As a historian, I can certify that we are in the bad times. But bad times eventually end.
In the meantime:
• Figure out a small way to help someone
• Figure out a small way to fight back
• Figure out a small place to find joy
• Figure out a small way to grow and thrive
And do it often.

The US has finalized its $20 billion bailout for Argentina.
Too bad it only benefits one American: a billionaire hedge fund manager, who has placed large bets on the future of the Argentine economy.

Agree. Agree. Agree.
It seems clear—I think to everyone, now—that a false and illegal invocation of the Insurrection Act is coming before the end of the year. Media outlets should be telling us how they will prepare for this potential Treason. State governments should be telling us. Activists should be developing plans.

“The influx of cash from Trump allowed Argentina to remove its own export taxes on soybeans, so China is getting an even better deal from them.”
Trump’s aid package to soybean farmers is expected to be in the billions of dollars. But to some farmers, that misses the point.
“The American farmer, especially myself included—we don’t want any payments. We want to work."

Federal agents charged and knocked down an 84-year-old Vietnam vet and his wife at a peaceful Portland protest. She got a concussion. He was using a walker.
“I never thought federal officers could behave this way,” she said. “Law and order” in Trump’s America.

This is the best elevator pitch I've seen from Dems on the shutdown.
Good morning.
The government is shut down because Trump wants to act like a king and steal from you.
Democrats have no obligation to support a budget that funds the destruction of our democracy - and DOUBLES health premiums to fund a tax cut for billionaires.
