A bunch of bunches of bananas, ripe and ready to eat. These were harvested last week. There are still a lot of bananas that need another week to finish ripening.

Today's harvest from the farm. Bananas (all of this from 1 plant), 1 cacao pod, 6 passionfruit, one guava, and 3 coffee cherries.
Close up of the guava and coffee.
Most of the coffee is still green right now, so we are just getting a few early cherries here and there.

Medical debt or bankruptcy isn’t a sign of personal irresponsibility, it’s a sign of a country’s irresponsibility.

I still can't get past the idea that people in America are now supposed to accept that this is a valid form of law enforcement and just assume it's fine when random dudes in groups with face-coverings, no ID, no warrant, & no uniform grab people off the street and force them into unmarked vehicles
Not an original point but worth saying again - there is not a single element in this picture that identifies any of these folks as law enforcement agents. No badges, no uniforms, no vests. Out of context it just looks like a bunch of random guys are kidnapping a mayoral candidate.
Breaking News: Brad Lander, the New York City comptroller who is running for mayor, was detained by ICE agents at an immigration court as he tried to escort a migrant out of the courthouse to prevent his arrest. nyti.ms/4jWkANE

The rule of law is all or nothing and must apply equally to everyone. If there's no rule of law for some people in America, then there's no rule of law for any of us.

From article: “Mills and Maine have demonstrated what we resistance types all know to be true — Trump is a bully, and bullies are weak. By standing up to him, Mills has shown us the way and reminded us that we can win if we’re willing to fight.”
Our latest: Janet Mills beats Trump and lets him hear about it. Janet Mills wouldn’t bend the knee. Instead, she kicked the ass. The orange ass, to be specific.

Cal-Maine, the biggest egg producer, has been accused of using bird flu as cover to jack up prices and triple its profits from a year ago.
It also received $22M in federal aid.
While you're getting gouged at the grocery store, your tax dollars are subsidizing corporate greed.

Under Trump, Americans are relearning the lesson we learned about the oligarchy during the Gilded Age of the late 1890s, when robber barons ran the government and the economy for their own benefit: Oligarchy is incompatible with the common good.

People spend a lot of time wondering why the left is worse at using independent media to control the national narrative.
A useful exercise is to ask why the left is also worse at selling snake oil and pyramid schemes, because I think the reasons are basically exactly the same.

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

Thank you, Senator. This is the leadership that we need right now @booker.senate.gov
In 100 years, historians will still be discussing the moment @booker.senate.gov shut down the senate and broke the filibuster record fighting for us.

I think we should send in a bunch of middle-aged civil servants from the federal government and give them the power to unplug or destroy whatever looks funny to them until Twitter is finally working efficiently.

BREAKING: HUNDREDS of New Yorkers have swarmed and shut down the Tesla dealer in Manhattan. Six have been arrested after occupying the showroom. Protests are erupting across America to reject Musk's billionaire regime. This is how we beat fascism.
