Getting through these times watching birds, kittens, grandchildren, rivers, oceans, trees and the related web of life. small acts for this earth, its people.
Kitties find it very exciting duty to keep tails switching and eyes on the hummingbirds building a nest in the nearby Oregon Grape. Roxy on guard and Chex resting after her shift. The Hummingbirds zip right up to the window to face them on their way to find more lichen for the nest.

I may just be a simple country hooftrimming video watcher, but I think it's time we raise America's hoof, pare away the separated horn until we reach the infected area, spray it with a powerful cleansing agent, and place a salicylic acid wrap on the foot so we can begin to heal

We must note that all the condemnation of Tucker Carlson platforming Nick Fuentes has been about anti-Semitism and there has been an alarming and revealing silence around his anti-Black racism and white supremacy. When the head of the Heritage Foundation apologized, he only cited anti-Semitism.

Here's another bit of conventional wisdom Zohran completely blew away: His speech was at well above a 10th-grade level. It was complex, erudite, punctuated by deep and fluent references. You don't have to condescend to voters with baby talk! Part of re-establishing norms is speaking like an adult.

Something maybe worth noting is that all the frog costumes and signs and good-natured memeing came about because a wide spectrum of Americans saw someone in direct, brave confrontation with ICE—getting pepperballed and standing their ground—and thought “that’s awesome. That person is a hero”

This Labor Day weekend, every American needs to think about the hardworking laborers who grow our food being tormented by our government!
Did you know that 2/3 of US fruit/nuts & 1/3 of US veggies are from CA & ~76% of our farmworkers are undocumented?
We rely on them! Let's have their backs!

Workers are harvesting lettuce on CA's Central Coast. "Lupe" tells us that they work more than 8 hours this day. She tells us that you can see how the workers rotate breaks in this video. One crew is taking a break while the other two are working. #WeFeedYou

DoJ informs the US District Court in DC that USAGM, under Kari Lake, has notified relevant unions of an impending "reduction in force." The firings apparently will target most of the remaining VOA journalists who were placed on paid admin leave in mid-March.
