A U.S.-born citizen who was wrestled into the dirt, handcuffed and detained in a vehicle as part of an immigration raid had a REAL ID on him that was dismissed as fake, the man's cousin said Friday.
Expect to see more of this, even if you have a REAL ID.

Trying my luck with Rubus arcticus this year - the flowers are certainly pretty!
I tried to grow them in the ground once, but that didn't work out. They need acidic soil which we don't have, so I have them in a pot now.

Dandelions provide nectar for pollinators, fluff for bird’s nests, makes a coffee substitute tea that’s digestion-soothing, aids constipation. Dandelion extract breaks down fat/aids with weight loss, has promising anti cancer research… and this 🌱
'Dandelions,' was painted by the Danish artist Bertha Wegmann around 1910. It wasn't an arbitrary choice of a plant to paint: the dandelion was used to promote the women’s liberation movement in Scandinavia because of its capacity for uncontrolled, strong-willed growth.

Bingo.
The economy is now a dumpster fire and MAGA is silent when we all know they would have been screeching under him or Biden.
