Hello Bluesky!
It's been refreshing seeing all the scientists, nature lovers, peace makers out there.
I thought I'd share some of my work cultivating and sharing nature's beauty as a greenhouse grower and flower farmer.

Jordy Meiselas: ICE didn't just lower the age requirement—they removed the age requirement. Now, at any age—you can go and join. They've riled up their base and have given them one lane to occupy: take out your anger, become an ICE agent, and chase down migrants. They are preying on people's hate.

Think about what the GOP is revealing with their attempt to suddenly change the Congressional maps: they know their agenda is so unpopular that they're going to lose unless something changes.

Of course, what they should be changing is their policies, not the maps.

Wonder why ICE workers are so horrible? Whistleblowers who speak out about illegal actions and inhumane conditions are being fired, then replaced with Trump loyalists who won’t ask questions. ICE leadership has seen over a dozen top-level resignations and firings since Trump took office,

This is what an authoritarian regime would do. Hidden deep in Trump’s 1,100-page bill that passed the House today is a provision that would block federal courts from enforcing contempt charges against government officials who violate court orders.

The Massachusetts governor, the city, and the university needs to drop everything to locate and free this girl and make sure this doesn't happen again.

This is DEFCON-1. If they do this to someone who wrote an op-ed in a college newspaper, they will do this to anyone they don't like.
Video of the international student at Tufts being arrested by "federal authorities" in Massachusetts has been released and it's terrifying.

They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks.

Last week, Donald Trump demanded that a judge who ruled against him be impeached, so Elon Musk opened his checkbook to reward Republicans who immediately fell in line.

Musk and Trump’s corruption knows no bounds––they see democracy as something to be bought and sold.

This isn’t legal, Elon.

Musk steps up calls to impeach judges, offering $100 to voters who join in. America PAC is paying registered Wisconsin voters to sign its petition against “activist judges.” Talk about paid protesters. Now, judges are receiving violent threats online.
