Pumpkin is the most nutrient-dense variety of winter squash and is a top food source of vitamin A and carotenoids. Canned pumpkin is equally nutrient-dense, available year-round, and convenient to use.

Rustic Bacon and Pumpkin Soup
Pumpkin puree, chicken broth, crispy bacon, onion, and nutmeg makes a flavorful Rustic Bacon and Pumpkin Soup (or use any winter squash).

The dark blue rows are garter stitch to make the broken glass/honeycomb look, slowly working on the Give Me The Slip shawl from a Neighborhood Fiber Co sock blank for Pride Month!

They are sending roving bands of masked thugs with the stated goal of kidnapping 20 million brown people to transport them to any country they can pay to take them. All this has been cleared by The Stolen Court.

This is not deportation.

This is ethnic cleansing.

Consider donating to Friends of the Everglades and the Center for Biological Diversity. They’ve filed a federal lawsuit in U.S. District Court to try and stop “Alligator Alcatraz” before it opens.

On Juneteenth, we celebrate freedom and recommit ourselves to the work that remains undone. We remember that even in the darkest hours, there is cause to hope for tomorrow’s light.

Juneteenth went uncelebrated by the White House. That alone says everything you need to know about this regime.

The Senate must stop the House bill that threatens to irreparably change the National Park System as we know it. The bill eliminates IRA funding, further reduces NPS staff and accelerates energy development near public lands.

Let’s keep it up then.
Plenty of politicians on both sides of the aisle feel threatened by rising class consciousness.

So he got what he voted for?
A New Hampshire real estate attorney and American citizen returning home from Canada says he was detained at the border without an explanation and "treated like a criminal."

A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.

Common rhetoric I see is "Trump won so deal with it". Yes, we know he was elected. Fascists do get elected. The United States of America has joined the list of countries that have elected a fascist. Deal with the resistance.

TOMORROW: Over 500,000 Americans are taking to the streets at more than 1,200 nationwide events.

“One main reason we’re showing up is because we recognize that the creeping authoritarianism is creeping closer and closer towards all of us.”

I will *not* be watching the State of the Union tomorrow evening. Nothing enrages Trump more than us tuning him out. Instead, I will be viewing and contributing to the State of the People, a 24-hour livestream of counter-programming beginning this evening. Register at stateofthepeople.media.

None of us can be sure what will “work.” You try multiple things and find your way in. Read some histories of the Civil Rights Movement by those who participated. They were never “sure” of what would work. Some campaigns fizzled out. But persistence, creativity, determination, and focus were key.
