Let's be clear: Ted Cruz is actively and overtly fomenting violence.
It’s a murderous hate rally, which mainstream media not only has no problem with, they won’t even report on it.
This is stochastic terrorism. Ted Cruz is an extremist encouraging violence.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: the GQP is a DEATH CULT. They WANT you to be broke, to be broken, to be sick, and to die early. It's crazy, and it's evil.

There is nothing more telling about the regime's economic policy ineptness than the turmoil in the bond market. It's about the closest one gets to a "pure market" and it's the source of much US soft economic power. Squandering that is criminal.

Today's harvest: tomatoes and zucchini. And a lone cucumber.🌱
A couple of notes: it's not actually "zucchini" it's an Italian summer squash called Romanesco. To our taste, far better than zucchini, and good even when it gets big.

Unlike Miller who is grossly deformed in his character and soul.
Miller: "It's not a coincidence that when you look at these violent Antifa demonstrations not one of the people that is demonstrating looks like a normal person. Not one looks normal. They're all deformed in some way in their appearance, in their dress, in their mannerism." #cdnpoli

Thank you to all who helped identify my caterpillar yesterday. It does indeed seem to be a sphinx moth. Makes sense because I do see the adult stage in my garden regularly. "Hummingbird moth" is another common name, anf how I know them. They do look like hummingbirds but built out a tin can! 🌱

I really, really, really want someone to confirm that Platner has officially filed paperwork to withdraw from the race with the State of Maine, because if he doesn't do it by (I think) 5 pm Monday, there can be no other Democratic candidate.

Got an insect-related garden question: can anyone tell me what this is? I'm pretty good on "bugs," but not so much on caterpiggles. Which I realize are also bugs but I hope you know what I mean.! 🌱

I don't want to hear politicians running on "we need to see each other as neighbors again" bullshit. No I want you to run on expanding the commons and offering actual SPACES in communities where people can gather across differences. That means no rhetoric but ACTUAL $$$ invested.
