@LindseyMarie_xo I'm so sorry. I have severe ME/CFS, and I pleaded with my family - begged, really - for help. Nothing I said could make them understand, because they didn't really want to. What better place can you pour your energy? My family never changed. Please don't try as long as I did.

The city of Andernach, Germany planted 101 varieties of tomatoes in the town center and told everyone to take whatever they wanted. It was such a hit they did beans the next year, then added onions, fruit trees, lettuce, zucchini, berries, and herbs. All free to the public and maintained by the city. Andernach is now known as the "edible city." Philadelphia has been doing a version of this since 2007. The Philadelphia Orchard Project has helped establish 67 sites across the city with thousands of food-bearing trees. Baltimore is planting fruit trees on sidewalks. Seattle, Boston, San Francisco, and Asheville all have public urban orchards. A mature apple tree produces 400-500 pounds of fruit per year. A mature pear tree can produce for 75 years. We've decided our cities should have trees. We just haven't decided those trees should feed people. Would you support urban fruit trees and vegetables in your city?

“If POTUS escalates his war in Iran in the coming days, he will be operating not only from his own strategic blindspots and willful ignorance, but worse - his venality and narcissism will override any concern for the staggering loss of life and property that may occur. The White House released a budget proposal on Friday that not only tears at the fabric of our nation’s social safety net, public education, scientific research and affordable healthcare, it will shred it to bits if approved by Congress. All to make way for a 40% increase of our military’s budget; setting a new record at one-and-a-half trillion dollars. This is not by accident but to increase the share of our nation’s treasure being transferred into the Trump family’s own pockets, now that his two eldest sons have essentially gone into the arms manufacturing business and are seeking Pentagon contracts. Don Jr. and Eric want to supply our military with drones through their investments in Powerus, a drone manufacturing company, and also by seeking to sell anti-drone defense weapons systems to Middle East countries currently under threat from Iran. The sons are now setting themselves up to profit from both sides of the war their own father started - and I believe this, more than anything else, will be the deciding factor in Trump’s escalation. It is the grift of the century, and it is all happening in plain sight. As I have tried to warn people many times before, the Trump family motto is basically, ‘Fuck you, stop me’.” open.substack.com/pub/noelcasler…

Any student of history will tell you this is an extremely dangerous moment. People like Trump who make wild threats to do insane homicidal things again and again are full of shit—until they aren’t. All the safeguards are gone. The generals have been removed. Our allies have been alienated. Congressional Republicans will follow Trump to the apocalypse. We really are on the razor’s edge of total disaster here and millions if not billions of lives hang in the balance.

The 25th Amendment only allows us to remove Trump! Article II, Section 4 allows us to remove the President, Vice President, and all in their administration when the President has committed treason, bribery, and/or other high crimes and misdemeanors! THEY MUST ALL GO!

@glassysquirrel @DanielDenvir We are owned by a foreign entity. Those people shouldn't be called Democrats, they should be called traitors to America, along with every politician who took foreign money to influence American legal and social function.

@DanielDenvir @deedeebou It's because they and most Dems support these wars

It’s incredible how absent Democratic Party leadership is in the face of Trump blowing up the entire fucking world.

I genuinely feel sick. This is just beyond anything the mind can fathom. And I keep thinking of what Ta-Nehisi Coates said. If you can’t draw the line at the genocide in Gaza, you can’t draw it anywhere else. Moral failure, on a mass and collective scale, brought us here.

@PepinPeppie @AmyMcGrathKY @BelliniMom Probably also promises of financial rewards and bunker space when the Earth's ecosystem collapses.

@AmyMcGrathKY @BelliniMom I’m convinced the elected republicans operate under the threat of death that includes family and staff. I can see no other reason to act the way they do.

It’s just bonkers that we’ve been bombing a foreign country for a month now, our president is threatening to bomb it “back to the stone age”, and preparing for a ground invasion while our Congress remains on vacation, never bothering to even have a vote on this war.

We should work toward nuclear disarmament in the entire world, but it should start with disarming the two nations that pose the most serious threat to global peace: Israel and the United States.

American gun ownership is about class collaboration. It’s baked into the constitution. Stop asking why the most heavily armed populace in the world is doing nothing. It’s armed to protect whiteness and property. Ergo inert in the face of oppression.

@NeilClark66 Complete madness. Look at this latest post. “ A whole civilisation will die tonight” What? And no one wants to say anything?

I do think this is the most evil thing we have seen in our lifetime. Threats to destroy an entire country of 91.5m people at 10pm ET tonight. Warnings for people to stay off trains and away from railway stations. And world leaders just watch on pathetically, with a shrug of the shoulders.

@BreeNewsome Why would anyone ever vote for a Democrat when Democrats themselves claim that they don't have the ability to actually function as they are supposed to?

What does it say about our garbage military and the moral fiber of the people who make up the military that there isn’t mass desertion right now? That they are not mass disobeying orders? The U.S. military is the most immoral army in the world made up of complete trash

If we had a functioning Congress Donald Trump would’ve been impeached by both chambers and jailed. Instead we’ve got a cult based around a decrepit war criminal and an opposition party that sits on their hands because they think they can fundraise off of the harm he’s doing.

Hey since everyone agrees rent is too high lets organize a national rent strike in combination with a general strike

Where the fuck are you? Trump is mentally unstable, and not a single word from any of you to have him removed?!??!!?!!!!!!??!!!!!??!!! Are you all out of your minds!!!?!? @CBSNews @NBCNews @ABC @CNNPolitics @wapo @wsj_com @FoxNews @nypost

I wonder if we will defeat Zionism and Western imperialism and the Epstein class before climate and biosphere collapse defeats us all.

Anti-war means more than opposing missiles. It means opposing the system that makes domination profitable, disposability normal, and mass suffering administratively acceptable.
