I invite you to pause, gaze, and enjoy a moment of meditation from nature itself. With alt tags, too. If this abstract photography moves you, let’s talk! I love placing my art out in the world, raising our collective vibrations one flower at a time. 🌸🌿

How many journalists did Jeff Bezos fire while paying $40 million for an authorized Melania documentary
A bloodbath at The Washington Post. What a terrible day for journalism.

The only way I'd watch a film about Melania is if it featured ICE deporting her.

They. Are. Not. Human.
UPDATE: The Trump regime did NOT let Wael’s father attend his funeral.

Monstrous.

ABOLISH PALANTIR
New information from DHS documents shows ICE is now using AI tools from Palantir to help process tips submitted to its public tipline by pulling summaries and quick takeaways to help agents act faster.
ICE Is Using Palantir’s AI Tools to Sort Through Tips
ICE has been using an AI-powered Palantir system to summarize tips sent to its tip line since last spring, according to a newly released Homeland Security document.

A retired Minneapolis couple who had guns pointed at them by ICE in a church parking lot.

"They were obviously not trained at all. I've known many police officers in my life. These people were right off the streets."

"They had the professional demeanor of criminals."

In the wake of ICE’s abuses and the administration's recklessness, Senate Democrats will NOT pass the DHS budget until it is rewritten.

I will vote no on any legislation that funds ICE until it is reined in and overhauled.

This is not hard, @nytimes.com - get some of those midwest diner-loving journalists out to Minneapolis stat and see what is actually happening instead of falling for the admin’s “tone change” once again. We know it’s just a deflection and so should you.
Very little if anything seems to have changed on the ground. ICE is still out there terrorizing neighborhoods and trying to disappear neighbors. None of us on the ground are buying this bullshit. We will keep organizing and fighting.
The intense fallout from the killing of Alex Pretti has forced President Trump to publicly change course in Minneapolis.

Listen to our White House reporters discuss the changes on today's episode of "The Daily."

Again, the Democrats suffer from the deadly disease of codependency and they are taking us all down with them.

They need fewer consultants and a lot more therapists to help them get over their fears of not being liked and trying to fit in.
“An administration official gave away the game to Punchbowl News, admitting that these “de-escalatory measures” are about placating Senate Democrats so they don’t seize this moment to demand restrictions on ICE as part of any government funding package.”

Donald Trump Is Frightened
Trump wants to appear eager to minimize out-of-control clashes between government militias and protesters. But he doesn’t want to stop the things causing those clashes in the first place.

I am addressing this directly to the publisher and editors of @nytimes.com
I understand, if you're new to US politics, being surprised by the raw shittiness of the GOP. But if you are a member of the professional political press and Republican shittiness has been consistently surprising you for decades, and *still* surprises you, maybe get a different fucking job.

Know your constitution, people. The only good thing coming out of all this horror is the schooling. Lawyer jokes have had their day. Now we love our lawyers who defend our rights.
"The Federal Government may neither issue directives requiring the States to address particular problems, nor command the States' officers, or those of their political subdivisions, to administer or enforce a federal regulatory program."
In Printz v. United States, #SCOTUS held that the Constitution bars the federal government from forcing or otherwise compelling local or state governments to enforce federal law.

The liberal squish who wrote the majority opinion in that case? Justice Antonin Scalia:

EXCLSUVIE: The Trump administration has secretly rewritten nuclear safety rules and shared them with the companies they're meant to regulate, without making the new rules publicly available.

We've obtained a copy of the new rules and here's what we found.

The rewrite was done to speed up the construction of a new generation of nuclear reactors. Critics warn it could compromise safety and public trust.

Donald Trump broke his promises and replaced them with cruelty, chaos, and fear. New Mexico will not be intimidated.
