@theandreaborden Beautiful! Right now I’m wishing I was not living in an oven for the last 2+ months. We sneak out in the morning and around dusk to survey, tinker with the plants and weeds, many of the former struggling and would be gone if not for our attention which mostly includes generous doses of water. Some plants are amazing in their ability to withstand the burn. 🤔
Why do you hate Alabama, @SenTuberville? Just asking!

@MikeDunnAuthor@kolektiva.social I don’t want to believe the first half of your quote as an infallible rule. WWII was fought to take down fascism and after that were several decades of moving in a better direction, at least my perception.

So the struggle continues.🤔

"It’s clear the U.K. government have no desire to prevent these dangerous crossings. Instead, they pour money down the drain on policies which are unlawful, unworkable and doomed to failure.They don’t care that people die as a result. They have blood on their hands.
“The government’s approach is a moral disgrace. The British people should not fall for it. We call upon every person in this country with a shred of humanity to support our call for safe passage.”
