SIGN OF THE DAY…

People should be required to experience ICE's illegal brutalities before being able to claim that they support #ICE and their methods.

Yep, nothing like admitting you’re a criminal.

I’m so opposed to political violence, I even oppose the president handing out pardons to people who engage in it.

Bushtit enamored with its own reflection. I had to remove the mirror so it would get on with business. At least it wasn’t attacking it like the spotted towhee did a few years ago. #rickrobbsgarden2026 #bushtit

little Buddha dude in his cave is about to be swallowed up in plumbago for the season. #rickrobbsgarden2026

TIL: There is a New Mexico in New South Wales… AUSTRALIA😳. Was it named after the state below Colorado? Or for the country of Mexico?

In Turkey, an elderly man who earns his living by shining shoes is visited every morning at the same time by a cat that asks to have its fur brushed. The man never turns down this little friend.😍👍💙

Pass it on.

Celebrate Confederate Surrender Day today (April 9, 1865)! My question why are we still having to fight this crap?!

This feels pretty on the money… 😳

Growing hops this year. Humulus lupulus var. neomexicanus, a native hop! #rickrobbsgarden2026

banray.eu/en/index.html I just quit all my Meta apps on Wednesday, partially due to privacy concerns and their jamming AI down my throat. Apparently I’m still not safe.

In the seven years we’ve lived here, we’ve never gotten more than two or three apricots on this very well-established tree. But this year,there are hundreds of cluster of them forming. #rickrobbsgarden2026

I’ve been wanting to put some lattice up here for a while now. Once we decided, from buying the lumber to putting it together took about 8 hours. Can’t wait to get the vines growing. Thinking of maybe some hops, but will probably wind up with Virginia Creeper. #rickrobbsgarden2026

Somewhere a person just realized their plant made a new leaf. And for a second nothing else mattered.

What if the "unessential" things are really the most important? The emotional safety nets we create for each other, through art, presence & small acts of kindness, are just as vital as anything else. When the world feels heavy, these tiny fragments of beauty are what help us hold it all together.

two of several Cooper’s hawks in the neighborhood. I have a feeling that my birdbath is the only source of water around here. #coopershawk #rickrobbsgarden2026

Still early March but things are already busting out. #rickrobbsgarden2026

a few projects I’m working on. The round one with the three bird design is still just leather ware. #ceramics #projects

dogs lost in deep thought.

For all the Christian Nationalists out there…

“Imagine how they lie when there’s no evidence to contradict them.” Watch this powerful message from Jon Stewart.

Booker: "We have a president who did nothing as people stormed our Capitol, & then when those people who viciously beat police & led to some of their deaths - therefore cop killers - were convicted, he pardoned them. So for him to be talking about responsive law enforcement is hypocritical at best"

On April 4, 1865, President Lincoln visited Richmond, VA, after the Confederate Army evacuated the city. He was greeted by freed African Americans, a testament to the collapse of the Confederacy & the impending end of slavery. 138 days to Slavery Remembrance Day. #CountDowntoSRD

Ahem

I’m amazed how little coverage this story has gotten. They’ve burned well over $16 million to briefly hold 290 immigrants and several photo ops to GITMO. Just a total train wreck and they didn’t even mention it officially. Check out my latest. open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

John Oliver explains how at this particular moment we need to be very aware of what ICE is doing, often illegally, in sending people into detention facilities in the US. Where people don't even know when they're allowed to leave! I love how he leavens his information with a wicked sense of humor!

There are times when you must speak, not because you are going to change the opposing side, but because if you do not speak, they have changed you.

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget

Anyone wonder why the Black-bodied Rep Al Green was censured by Congress for shouting truth to evil during Trump's SOTU while the white-bodied Rep MTG was not censored for screaming LIAR during Biden's SOTU?

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.
