President Obama: “We pulled it off without firing a missile. We got 97% of their enriched uranium out. There’s no dispute that it worked and we didn’t have to kill a whole bunch of people or shut down the Strait of Hormuz.”

Many of you are asking how you can help my work. My only ask is this: Spread the word about the threats to democracy and how we can fight back. Tell everyone to subscribe to Democracy Docket for free and share its content with everyone you know. Thanks. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

In charging Comey for the 8647 seashell post (I can’t believe I just typed that), Trump is claiming that “86ing” is Mob speak for “kill him.” The dictionary gives a different meaning. T’s likely next executive order? Change the dictionary to match his version. So we all speak Mob like he does 🤷🏻‍♀️

The Epstein crisis is escalating. Reports say Ghislaine Maxwell may be seeking a pardon as lawmakers demand answers from the DOJ over missing files and unanswered subpoenas. This isn't going away.

Despite the darkness of world events, it’s a glorious spring 🌱 Collected fresh stinging nettles, one of my favorites to forage. A quick blanching neutralizes the sting, delicious sautéed in a bit of butter! More nutritious than kale and high in plant protein… but wear gloves to gather it 👋

Damn! That man must breathe through his ears 😆 Impressive. The fact that there’s even a platform for these far right supremacists is sickening. So many high & mighty (low & dirty!) white men are terrified of becoming a minority. THEY fear being treated & marginalized the way they’ve done forever.

A little Saturday night seafood celebration: Fortunate to have a little stash of Aldi shrimp and scallops in the freezer. 💃 Chili crisp, lemon, soy, a touch of maple to sear the shrimp. S&P scallops, basic. The sautéed spinach with garlic and grape tomatoes was the perfect, simple side. Cheers 🦋🥂💙
