The local greenhouse owner in north suburban Chicago said we can plant early and the plants will be okay, but we gain nothing because they won’t grow when it’s cold.
Perfect Hair Forever@sansculottestoo.bsky.social · 3mo agoI‘m just north of ye. Might throw out a few cheater tomatoes early and pray for luck, but my target is the old timer standard of Memorial Day. Peppers I’m going to put some in containers to get them going earlier that way I can pull them in on a cold night.
How many times have we heard someone say “I voted for Trump/I didn’t vote because I didn’t like Kamala Harris”? Smh
Alan Elrod@aselrod.bsky.social · 4mo agoPeople will be tempted to rationalize away a Vance or Rubio as not as bad as Trump and therefore as authorization to vote third party or abstain. This is wrong. We are still going to be fighting what Trump has wrought. And we will be for a few cycles at least. The GOP must be crushed.

Wait a second… no Governor? That might be an improvement.
jamelle@jamellebouie.net · 7mo agowhat does he do about the fact that in most states midterms and statewides are on the same cycle, so "canceling the elections" might mean that tennessee doesn't have a governor next year. how does he convince tennessee republicans to give up power in their own states?
Watch Vance when she says 258 million lives were saved. 😂

Folks, if this were me- it’s not, but if it were- and I finally realized what a moron I’d been and confess my stupidity to a friend who then chews me out for having been stupid, I’d probably crawl back in my shell and stay silent forever instead of going all-in on working for the future. Be kind.
Julian Sanchez@normative.bsky.social · last yr.In the coming weeks, a lot of slow-on-the uptake folks are going to begin belatedly realizing Trump is both an inept moron and a dangerous autocrat. Our great civic challenge in these trying times will be calmly welcoming them aboard instead of primal-screaming in their faces.
This summary of the Musk/Trump s***show is mind-numbing. Whack-a-Mole in real life.
Aaron Fritschner@fritschner.bsky.social · 2y agoI do think it is important to be inspiring, to be as effective as possible, and where you can, to be both. That’s the goal. But the effective options are thin right now and there is SO MUCH FUCKING SHIT to respond to. Let me try to sketch out briefly ten days in the life of a House press strategy
Time to accept that we simply have a mad king. The guy slapping 25% tariffs on Canada's postage while calling for its annexation - and releasing scarce water into the Central Valley to fight already-contained fires in LA - isn't doing a bit or pursuing a secret, rational strategy
If your Christianity causes you to be offended by someone asking the most powerful person in the country to be merciful towards the powerless, then you have profoundly misunderstood the teachings of Jesus Christ.
I’m deeply saddened by the devastating impact the fires are having here in California. So many lives have been affected—not just through the loss of homes, but in countless other ways as well. My hearts go out to everyone facing these challenges.
