This is a United States Senator
MACK: I was laid off from HHS and now people aren’t getting social services, especially people with disabilities
BANKS: You probably deserved it
MACK: Why did I deserve it?
BANKS: Because you look like a clown

Follow this page for my native plant nursery! I will have gardening tips and how to support pollinators and wildlife and more!
Just about warm enough to start spring garden cleanup! The recommendation is to wait until daytime temps are reliably in the 50s, so for zone 6b CT possibly this weekend, but definitely next weekend! I love this handout from @xercessociety.bsky.social about how to prune seasonally for bees!

Despite the crummy weather, cuttings are getting popped into soil for young bushes and trees! So far we have blueberries, elderberries, serviceberries, dogwood and willow going, and working on more this week!

Reminder to keep those leaves for a while longer! Dont do your garden and yard cleanup until the weather is reliably in the 50s for a week+. False spring always tries to convince us its time, then we get gross chilly weather back and the insects and wildlife still need those leaves & hollow stems!

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants.
Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this.

If Linda McMahon and the Department of Education believe in "efficiency and accountability" (after laying off half of the department), then I'm sure they'll gladly publish a list of every position that has been eliminated and why that position is no longer needed.

DOGE recommended firing workers at:
-FDA, which oversees Neuralink
-FAA, which oversees SpaceX
-USAID, which probed Starlink
-CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X.
"Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.
