Dem Senators who voted to confirm Kristi Noem as DHS Secy:
SD knows Noem. She:
*pocketed campaign $$
*used private $ to send SDNG to Texas
*was so racist was banned from indigenous reservations
*shot her dog
*used SD $ to campaign for Orange
*doesn't care about anyone but herself
*including FEMA

Dear South Dakotans, Here's the guy who's gonna take away your health care, your kids' education, your retirement. Whatever money you have left, he'll give it to the rich. What a guy. Such a man for his constituents.

Whazzup? I am. After plaque attack, stent, slambam. Standing, walking, working in the garden, planning my getaway. After the wake-up call of all that, leaving Dumbfuckistan and going back to where I belong: the Lehigh Valley, looking down on the Forks of the Lehigh/Delaware.

And just because birds make me happy. Did you know the speed of a flicker's beak? 25 times PER SECOND. Here's the male of our pair.

Whazzup in Dumbfuckistan? Daffodils, flax, yucca. The chive patch and spring onions add flavor to supper. Apple trees budding. Squirrels nursing kits. But it could snow again. Nothing like hands in the dirt to erase the madness. And some comeuppance for the Sec'y Homeland Security? Heh heh.

Note to Self, DNC, DCCC, DSC, AOC, Act Blue, Emily's List, past small donor giftees:
1) By August, the pittance I get from a life's work of journalism, environmental NGOs, paying taxes & into SSA for 62+ years = GONE.
2) By the time Dems get around to the 2026 election, I will be dead.
3) Fuck off.

Thor’s Helmet (NGC 2359) is a 30 light-year-wide bubble sculpted by a powerful Wolf-Rayet star near its center. This pre-supernova giant blasts stellar winds through the nebula, which lies 15,000 light-years away in Canis Major.

Calling all Crafters! It’s windy & cold here on the High Plains, blizzards usually hit during March basketball finals. Use your craft & resist! Knit, sew, quilt, sculpt: Courage. Spine. Strength. Send it to the big men in Congress. How many South Dakotans will send a “package” to their tall fella?

A. Weissman: "If you are in a corporation and don’t want to be illegally or improperly targeted, you do what companies . . . do.

Companies in places without the rule of law capitulate.

They settle lawsuits . . . completely ridiculous and not meritorious.

They settle because they’re afraid."

Nuttin' new here in the land of Infinite Deprivation. Well, at least it's not -20 and snowing. There's that.

South Dakota legislators are celebrating hand-cuffing and jailing librarians, and granting permission for firearms on campus.
A book won't kill children, but guns at college certainly could.
What's next? Book burning to fully obliterate our libraries? Gunfights among fraternities across the green?
