1) Jack’s House Salad: Arugula, Kumato tomatoes, Peloponnese brand pitted Kalamata olives, Greek extra virgin olive oil. Very simple. Put as much arugula into a salad bowl or plate as you can eat. Cut a couple Kumato tomatoes into quarters and arrange them as you like. And next⬇️

No, they’re not a one-off. Coniferous forests are going away—permanently. Or, at the very least, for several centuries. Nature is replacing them. Climate change leads up to Rapid Ecological Succession.

There are three threads in this one. All are linked together in what I propose is a new paradigm created by human-caused climate change: Rapid Ecological Succession. In this case, pine forests replaced by deciduous forests by conditions now more favorable for deciduous trees than coniferous trees.

This is how you can tell which candidates the GOP fears most—when they do fearmongering. Trump said this about Mamdani too. And Mamdani won. That’s why they fear these candidates. They’re not the weak Democrat establishment candidates.

That’s actually an American protester in the photo. This is the Trump regime boasting that they’ve created a police state wrapped in the American flag.

Here’s the real truth of Trump’s gold plating of everything. Trump destroys everything he touches. The “Midas touch” never was a good thing and people forgot the moral of the story over time.

Don’t worry, Trump will be along shortly to blame Americans for it.

The bigger question emerging from the reflecting pool case is what to do with the lawyers. Had they pursued the case, disbarment would be an appropriate case. Still they secured an indictment from the grand jury and that was almost certainly through deceit and misrepresentation which requires study.

Lawyers for a former Olympian charged with damaging the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool say that the Justice Department knew or should have known for weeks that its case was flawed.

1) I want to discuss this at length. Now, first, we must establish the essential nature of the subjects involved. The common denominator, if you will. Are they “terrorists”? “Illegal aliens”? “Detainees”? No. They are human beings. And this immediately brings us to the next point⬇️

When you refuse to prosecute torture, horrific “foreign policy” eventually becomes domestic policy. And why? Because the government has already tortured human beings and gotten away with it, it will do so again. This is not “forward-looking”. This is backsliding into barbarity.

You cannot “look forward” when the government has gone backwards into barbarism. And if you say people acted in “good faith” on orders from the government, obviously the government is evil and there’s nothing good about faith in it. This is why you MUST prosecute torture.

This was done to detainees at Guantanamo by the George W Bush administration. And they weren’t prosecuted for torture. Hence, the crimes continue. This is why Democrats fail to prevent government violence by future GOP presidents. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

It’s very simple: Stop voting for Republicans who campaign on deregulation and “boosting energy production”. Who do you think is funding their campaigns? Because this region could’ve transitioned to manufacturing solar and wind rather than dying from coal mining if not for the GOP.

You don’t have to stop eating salad, you know. Just stop eating iceberg lettuce. And don’t buy Taylor Farms (or anyone they supply; look it up) produce. Pro-tip: Arugula. Go for that. Mix it with spring greens if you like. But arugula by itself makes a helluva great salad.

This is what tyranny looks like.

Yes, that is Trump. He didn’t fake this.

The GOP thinks Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, SNAP, and other social programs are “wasteful social spending”. And that’s the ONLY time they whine about the national debt—when it’s something to benefit average Americans. Remember this in the midterms.

The GOP— Medicaid and SNAP: “Wasteful government spending and what about the national debt?!” Trump vanity projects and another no-win war: “Who cares about the national debt?! We NEED these!!!”
