It is such an abomination to the Constitution, an outright violation of the 1st Amendment!
Our family is planning a trip to Canada (We LOVE you Canada!!) and the topic of deleting/scrubbing our social media posts has come up!
We are US citizens,but if they can do it to someone else…

Betting pool on how big of a drop in the markets today?
If I win,maybe I could make up my huge losses and actually retire 2 years after I am dead and buried instead of 17 years after!
Trump,Musk and the #FascistGOP have created a meltdown where all the working poor will lose and the rich will feast!

Well, today should be fun...
Nothing like watching all of our retirements and savings vaporize in realtime.
Good thing Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid will be there to help us...oh wait, nevermind!

#ThereIsNoBottom with the #FascistGOP, Trump, Musk and their enablers!

There were some Ukrainian folks at the Napa, CA Hands-Off.
I estimate there were around 2000 people, which is a pretty good turnout for a small town!

We need to vote #Republicans out of office at every level, local, state and federal, EVERY election for years!

That’s the best way and response!
I estimate that there were around 2000 people in Napa, CA, which is a pretty good turnout for a small town!
Looking forward to the next one and hoping we get more and more people and build momentum and organization!

They spread and try to take over!

Okra (Abelmoschus esculentus) flowers are so beautiful! They remind me of hibiscus flowers!

I used to not like okra, but only because I didn’t give it a fair chance! Grilled okra (olive oil, dash or salt, pepper, seasoning) is sooooo good!
I want to try pickling some.

Spanish/French Lavender (Lavandula stoechas) with a bee (Apis mellifera) harvesting pollen.
Less obvious is the crane fly (Tipuloidea species) seen in the third picture.

California Poppies (Eschscholzia californica).

I used to have the entire street side glowing orange with these beautiful flowers.
Other weeds took over. I am trying to see if I can get all the other weeds gone.

Thanks to the bootlicking #FascistGOP and Trump, I won’t be able to retire until 3 years after I am dead and buried!

My printing isn’t the best!
My big sharpie ran low on ink!

There’s a LOT of people out protesting in Napa for Hands-Off!!

Am I the only person that won’t be able to afford to retire until 3 weeks after I am already dead and buried?

I kinda doubt that I am alone in this…
April 5, 2025 at 2:20 PM
Huh?
Did something happen?
