Great to live in a country where any homicidal maniac can have a full arsenal at their disposal. #Minnesota
in reply to Amy Maybe

I don't like saying trivial things and assigning blame too early. Crappy people exist and they aren't especially concentrated in one group or religious organization or political party. But I remember the days when leadership tried to lead (all) people towards being less crappy. Now it seems like chaos reigns. It has become ok to do horrible things to bad people, but everyone who has a different look or thought or opinion has become bad people in this country. It makes me sad. 9-ish years ago I expected good people to wake up and realize what is going on. I've given up on that hope. Good people of the world ... open your eyes and see where you are being led, please!

Et voilà ! Red currants in the box. Gooseberries in the front. About 4 solid days of work spread out over a week, maybe?

Now I’m out to salvage some cherries before they’re gone. Birds have done a number. 🙁

Next year I’ll start with the cherries, if nature plays along.

And they wonder why we're suspicious of masked, unidentified ICE guys.

Terrible and frightening. Will this become the "new normal" as a result of the seeds sown?


The ruling parties in Hungary and Italy epitomize the rise of Europe’s neofascist right, which despite its antisemitic roots has allied itself with its Israeli counterparts.

The German government shows no sign of relenting in its diplomatic or material support for Israel. It claims that this support is part of its Staatsräson, branding as antisemitic any opposition to Zionism as well as criticism of Israeli governments.

Hidden costs of Green Transition

"As world transitions away from fossil fuels, patterns of resource extraction and violence are intensifying globally amid skyrocketing demand for the “critical minerals”—including cobalt, lithium, manganese and copper—essential to renewable energy technologies. In particular, the EV market is generating unprecedented demand for nickel, valued for extending driving range. By 2030, global demand for nickel is projected to triple."

Seems like if pointing a gun at somebody is a capital offense, there are a lot of law enforcement who should be dead now.


Some people just want to bend the truth or provide half truth, either to argue or to shape their own narrative, down play the reality, and add a sense of doubt in reality and those sharing the facts.

I have no time and no patience for such people. Same type of people who played games during COVID, when everyone around me was dropping like flies, implying it was all a big deal over nothing and that everybody was over exaggerating. 🙄

One thing I have noticed about the shootings in Minnesota: no statement from the White House condemning the violence. Not even crickets.

When Mastodon or Bluesky get called an "echo chamber" it is hilarious to me, because yes, that is how this works. We don't have some corporate overlord algorithm dictating everything you see, so you are SUPPOSED to build up your own feed following the topics that specifically interest you and utilizing filters to fine tune them to be perfect for you. Why WOULDN'T you want that?

ICE arrests of migrants with no criminal history surging under Trump

According to numbers gathered from ICE and the Vera Institute of Justice, after Trump returned to the White House in late January there was a steep surge in arrests of immigrants, in general. One of the sharpest increases in arrest numbers has been of immigrants with pending charges, who have not yet been convicted of any crimes.

#USpol #ICE

theguardian.com/us-news/2025/j…

in reply to Denise G

ICE has been increasingly detaining immigrants who have no criminal record.

Between early January, right before the inauguration, and June, there has been an 807% increase in the arrest of immigrants with no criminal record.

POLITICAL VIOLENCE IS NOT ACCEPTABLE.

Whatever happened in Minnesota today, DO NOT start encouraging retaliatory attacks in either direction.

Please take it from a guy who has unzipped a lot of humans to try to save them from gunshot wounds — we do not need a hot war. Really.

Just went upstairs, Jorge is sacked out in his bed - understandable.

Sean was in the crate?! I am guessing he sniffed out the treats Jorge may have missed. Or is just blocking it from being used on Jorge again.

He also might be a little mad at my brother for allowing me to take away Jorge like that today.
