What the birds aren’t getting away with, the worms are taking command of at peak ripeness, so I’m picking the owner’s 20% at a color under perfectly sweet. Will be fine for jam, tarts, meat sauce…
Despite the implication in the expression, ‘cherry picking’, it is not easy; especially 10 feet up on a rickety ladder with branches in your face. ‘Low hanging fruit’, on the other hand, makes more sense.
I lost track of time after 2 hours aloft, but here’s round 1 so far. Fruit knackered for today.

Star-studded nuptials between Amazon founder, billionaire Jeff Bezos, and Lauren Sánchez, a former TV journalist.
The days-long shindig,
expected to begin from 24 June,
will be the biggest wedding held in Venice California since George Clooney married Amal Alamuddin in 2014.
While Venice residents mostly embraced the Clooneys’ fairytale big day,
the Bezos wedding has been met with much more antipathy.
As soon as Venice’s millionaire mayor, Luigi Brugnaro, confirmed in March that the couple would be getting married in the city,
activists mobilised a
“No space for Bezos” campaign.

Suspect named in Minn. shootings
Suspect is 57-year-old Vance Boelter, still at large. He was twice appointed to Governor's development board by current gov Tim Walz and previous governor. He reportedly had a hit list of other Democratic officials and abortion providers. He had a bunch of "No Kings" flyers in his car. All info is preliminary.
If you're unsure about protesting today, here's what I'd say, as someone who's been on a few
It's sadness, fear & anger that makes you go, but once you're there, its the sense of community & realisation that you're not alone in that sadness, fear & anger. That's a really beautiful and powerful vibe

For another example on immigration: this is a long struggle, and there are many ways to support immigrants beyond what's happening right now in the streets. You can volunteer with pro-immigrant organizations, offer direct aid, or even pursue a career in immigration law. Channel this energy into something that makes meaningful change. But to do that, you have to stay safe and keep other people safe, and ultimately vote in people who will make good and fair immigration policy.
Just the way it is.

Supreme Court ignores precedent instead of overruling it in allowing president to fire officials whom Congress tried to make independent
Can the president fire leaders of more than 50 independent agencies overseen by Congress because he wants to? The Supreme Court may say yes, upending decades of constitutional law.The Conversation

Thank you to The Guardian for the proper coverage of this day. This is the right headline.

"...your executive order is nothing but bad graffiti on the Constitution & we're going to wash it off today."
Leave it to #Raskin to use graffiti against #Trump, something often associated with... gangs. Trump is a gangster, so *chef's kiss*

Raskin: You are not our king & we are not your subjects. We will never be your subjects. All of us born here on this land are citizens & your executive order is nothing but bad graffiti on the Constitution & we're going to wash it off today

Raskin is a rare hero. 💙
As you surely already posted, they just identified the Minnesota assassin, he is a 57 year old MN local named Vance Boelter. Military buzzcut. They’re showing surveille of a large suburban house with impressive manicured grounds.
God damn IT! The protests should rightly be getting this hijacked media coverage and airtime. Which the assassin must have anticipated.
They finally pulled Stephanie Ruhle in over at MSNBC, which is quite helpful. 🤦🏻♀️
@SherBeareth Yep, I did post.
Raskin is the best!
And hopefully MSNBC and others will give #NoKings a hunk of coverage
