  #Minneapolis has a $33 million budget gap. Creepy awful horrible mayor Jacob Frey is cutting jobs and hiking taxes to make the $33 million budget debt balance. A lot of people are going to lose their jobs. Minneapolis Police Department overtime is $33 million dollars. Minneapolis is working on hiring more police. That's how they want to deal with the overtime. Not by abolishing police, like people have asked for. No, they're going to raise taxes and cut jobs to pay for something...

  In the past Americans would get riled up by the media in support of war. But these days, most Americans are rooting for Iran to win & rid us of the tyrant.

  My mother-in-law cannot hear. She does not take care of her hearing aids, if she even remembers to put them in. They need to be adjusted. But she puts that off. She has ADHD and she likes to talk. But she's deaf. So the conversations are not fun. She came to a party with us. She was wildly inappropriate. She fixated on a disabled baby & an anorexic woman. I tried to steer the conversation to a better place, but she is deaf. She does not get social cues anymore unless she can lip...

  1st episode tells us destiny is more important than choice; rationalizes genocide, abandons communication efforts for a military solution. Because fate. Because inevitability. Fascists use this argument. It is totalitarian logic. Other intelligent species (with spaceships) are voracious insects the epidode tells us. Sounds like El🚫n Musk right describing nonwhite people. Leaps of unexplained logic. I rate this episode PMP: Pretty Military Propaganda 🙁

  Pricy hotel room in Boston. Looks like a converted office cubicle.

  Why is it that the egg substitute made from mung beans is $9.49 well the egg from a living being is $2.99. Growing a plant takes less energy than growing a living being and feeding it plants. It's the subsidies.

  This post is for the Canadians who are angry at Americans and tell us we don't do enough. You need to understand what's real and who the real enemy is. It's not your brothers and sisters south of the 49th parallel. It's the fascists on both sides of the border. <strong>“Sawyer Avenue, Sunday Afternoon”</strong> https://www.newyorker.com/culture/the-new-yorker-documentary/inside-an-immigration-arrest-that-sparked-a-neighborhood-protest

  My husband leaves at 4am for a business trip. He doesn't want to go. 😢 I don't want him to go either. The day he returns is stormy. Lightening.

  You can make a difference by adding your voice. The seeds you plant now determine your future. Your future projection is in your hands. Empathy, indifference, vague guilt or distant regret will not create the future you want. We must be as gardeners: we must take care of each being as if they were our only living child. May all beings everywhere be free from suffering and the causes of suffering. May all beings everywhere be happy. #yoga #buddhism

  A package of shiitake mushrooms costs $4.99. The package contains four mushrooms. So in Trump's America a small shiitake mushroom costs $1.25 each. Are we great yet?

  American police can afford expensive spy vans with surveillance technology, but our kids in public schools use curriculums that are 30 to 40 years old and read science books that are 2 to 3 decades old. This is why fascists are in power. Defund the police. All they do is pull us down and maintain a status quo that is killing the planet. ACAB.

  Today an hour north of Twin Cities we have both a heat advisory and an air quality alert. This isn't a climate crisis. We're living through a climate catastrophe. This isn't our new normal. It only gets much much worse from here. Let's abolish billionaires and get ourselves a green new deal.

  People who take joy in the suffering of others and think they're clever, really come off like Nazis in this particular moment. There's so much suffering in this world for the many, at the hands of the few. So folks that take joy in the suffering of the many, whether they be Americans, immigrants, Palestinians, prisoners, or anyone who is suffering under fascism, comes off like a Nazi. Your joke isn't funny. Just like racist jokes are not funny. Just like sexist jokes are not funny.

  Yesterday afternoon I gave the squash at the community garden a deep water. Today it is too hot to walk into my backyard to pick chard. It's 10AM. 🥵 Ontario fires are affecting air quality. But instead of a green new deal we have trump.

  It's Thursday and the heat advisory lifts at 9 PM tonight in Minnesota. But the wildfire smoke from Canadian and Northern Minnesota wildfires has made the air thick and acrid. Luckily, I have a new filter for our old air purifier. At least inside the house our air will be clean. Our HVAC filters the air pretty well. But anytime we open the door to let the dogs out or ourselves out, the smoky air pours inside. It's a day to mask.

  The New Yorker is running an article this week online about how Latinx US voters (called Latino in the piece) are still mostly satisfied with Trump. The pastor interviewed in the article would 100% vote for Trump again today. In spite of the pain. The article also states that 2/3 of Hispanic voters are satisfied with Trump. I find this hard to believe. The New Yorker gets more and more offensive. They keep featuring the far right. But never progressives. In New York. SMH.

  Hot. Dangerously hot until Thursday night 9PM according to the weather advisory. The dogs drink deeply from their water bowls. The cat refuses to sit on the patio. He used to love it out there, chasing bugs. His small taste of freedom. Water the gardens after sunset. Do not let the squash die because it's hot & I'm lazy.

  The fascists are hanging Vance Rubio flags. Not just flags. Huge banners.

  Every year I grow rainbow chard in my garden. It's a delicious leafy green and is easy to grow. It's also four bucks for a small bunch at the grocery store. I grow so much that I give it away to friends. People don't know what chard is. They are freaking me out. How do they not know what chard is?? It's at every grocery store. It's not like they're not exposed to it. People I gave chard to last year, forgot what it is when I gave it to them again this year. WTF?

  Our neighbor across the street, the rockstar, was looking directly at our house and saw the lightning strike. It hit the center of the top of our house. I'm kind of amazed that we suffered as little damage as we did. Most of our electrical system is working. But I really want to see what the top of our house looks like. ⚡️

  Twice now my husband and I have had lightning strike our homes. First in California, lightning struck a tree in our backyard. That was a rental. The tree roots were deep. Our house jumped. Lightning skipped our San Jose house. But the Tesla solar system almost burned that house down. Now we're in Minnesota and lightning struck dead center the top of our house. I was talking about how I wish the orange turd was dead. I think it was a powerful witch spell and he's on his way out. G...

  A centrist Democrat just complained to me that Democratic socialists alienate him with our progressive policies. Cry me a **** river. Blocked. I have to read headlines about how DSA might cost Democrats a seat. I never read headlines about how centerist democrats cost Democrats seats by blocking progressives. Even though that happens far more frequently.

  There are no motorcycle helmet laws in Minnesota so you see people on the highway, 80 miles an hour, no helmet. There is this big MAGA guy on his motorcycle, dangerously weaving through traffic with no turn signal, no gloves, no helmet, flying his American flag with the thin blue line on his bike. The fascist flag. The I love police and like to murder people flag. These people are so dumb. How do they even survive? Seriously. Unvaccinated & overweight, with bellies full of dead animals.....

  After we put our house on the market, the neighbor with vicious dogs was yelling at her kids. Again. This time I interrupted, from a few houses away so she turned her wrath on me. I'm an adult & take no shit from abusers. She let me know she was glad we were moving. I let her know the neighbors warned me about her. She told me to mind my own business. Then I said hey, at least you're yelling at me now instead of your kids. That shut her up. I wish someone had done that...
