Sadly this tree has lost its shape to recent storms over the past few years. The tree has been dead for a number of years so it had been on borrowed time.

The proposed Ukraine peace deal, however imperfect, could bring an end to Russia’s war on the country—but the problem with the plan lies with the bunglers who came up with it, @eliotacohen.bsky.social argues:
Peace Through Bungling
By its own efforts, despite the bungles and cowardice of its friends, Ukraine may have at least bought a chance for the freedom it is due.

blood-consciousness, so powerfully on display in MAGA-America; evangelical Christianity masquerading as religion when it is essentially political, & indeed rightwing politics fueled by hatred of the Other & a wish to do harm to opponents.
(it's an interesting question though not addressed here whether "humanism" in its rational, egalitarian, genteel form can even begin to confront the blunt crude amoral aggression of anti-humanism: fascism, totalitarianism, nativism, the dark underbelly of humankind's propensity for xenophobia,

Everyone running as a Dem for national office must call for turning congress into a corporate chop-shop, breaking the monopolies down into parts. They can start by acknowledging and quoting Teddy Roosevelt.

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market.

Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.

Four giants control 80% of meat processing.

A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry.

The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

Portland is not "war ravaged." This is delusional and dangerous.

Sending troops into American cities doesn't make our communities safer — it just stokes fear and stirs up chaos.

Trump is plunging further into authoritarianism every single day.
