Really American RI O @ReallyAmerican1 BREAKING: In a stunning moment, Rep. Jasmine Crockett asks the Mayors whether there are any immigrants roaming around their cities with 34 felony convictions (all answered no), "because that could be a danger to the community." She is a national treasure.

#Trump ‘Reamed Out’ #Hegseth for Flop #Birthday Parade

Trump was unhappy with his sparsely attended #military parade over the weekend & blamed it on #Defense Secretary #PeteHegseth, biographer Michael Wolff revealed.

Wolff told The Daily Beast that Trump wanted a “menacing” show of force to celebrate the Army’s 250th anniversary & his 79th birthday on Saturday—but got a “festive”parade instead.

“He’s p---ed off at the soldiers,”Wolff said.

"Their wives protected them from interruptions; their housekeepers and maids brought them breakfast and coffee at odd hours; their nannies kept their children out of their hair. Martha Freud not only laid out Sigmund’s clothes every morning, she even put the toothpaste on his toothbrush. Marcel Proust’s housekeeper, Celeste, not only brought him his daily coffee, croissants, newspapers and mail on a silver tray, but was always on hand whenever he wanted to chat, sometimes for hours. Some women are mentioned only for what they put up with, like Karl Marx’s wife – unnamed in the book – who lived in squalor with the surviving three of their six children while he spent his days writing at the British Museum.

Gustav Mahler married a promising young composer named Alma, then forbade her from composing, saying there could be only one in the family. Instead, she was expected to keep the house utterly silent for him. After his midday swim, he’d whistle for Alma to join him on long, silent walks while he composed in his head. She’d sit for hours on a branch or in the grass, not daring to disturb him. “There’s such a struggle going on in me!” Alma wrote in her diary. “And a miserable longing for someone who thinks OF ME, who helps me to find MYSELF! I’ve sunk to the level of a housekeeper!”" - theguardian.com/commentisfree/

For more on this subject, I recommend the book "who cooked Adam Smith's dinner".

WHO’s emergencies director, Mike Ryan, sounds the alarm on Israel’s ongoing genocide operation in Gaza. Netanyahu has turned the strip into an open air concentration camp and is deliberately starving civilians.

This is really important advice, especially for anyone dealing with mental health struggles or a chronic illness.

A screenshot showing a blue sky post @sarahkelly.bsky.social posted reading:

"Actually the best life advice I ever got: Anything worth doing is worth doing poorly. A half-cleaned room is better than an uncleaned room. Occasionally flossing is better than never flossing. A 10-minute workout is better than no workout. When it’s all you can do to get out of bed, get out of bed."

Everyone knows there are going to be huge parties when he dies, but why wait?

What we should do is start celebrating his death now. The next big protest should be themed around his funeral and how happy everyone is.

In April, 1933, the Geheime Staatspolizei, or "Secret State Police", otherwise known as Gestapo, was created by Hermann Goering. This was done by combining multiple local police forces into a single one and federalizing it. This was legal.

In July 1933, Nazis revoked the citizenship of German Jews. This was done by passing the "Law on Denaturalization and Revocation of Citizenship", leaving millions of Germans effectively stateless. This was legal.

In September 1935, The Nuremburg Laws were enacted, further codifying the Nazi plan that only people with "Aryan" blood were citizens of Germany. This was legal.

In May 1940, Auschwitz was built in Poland. It was a complex of over 40 concentration and extermination camps used during the Holocaust to imprison undesirables. This was legal.

On 5 July 1942, Margot Frank received a notice to report to a labor camp in Germany as part of the Nazi's systematic deportation of Jews from Nazi occupied Netherlands. It was well known that this was effectively a death sentence. This was legal.

On 4 August 1944, Anne Frank and her family were discovered in hiding by Gestapo, arrested, and deported to various Nazi concentration camps. Anne and Margot were deported to Auschwitz. This was legal.

On 1 November 1944, Anne Frank and her sister Margot were transferred to Bergen-Belsen, a starvation extermination camp. This was legal.

In either February or March 1945, Margot Frank died in Bergen-Belsen, a victim of typhus and starvation. Her sister Anne died the next day. This was legal.

On 15 April, 1945, British troops liberated Bergen-Belsen, where they walked straight into a nightmare. Approximately 60,000 starving and mortally ill people lay among thousands of unburied bodies, packed together without food, water, or sanitation. This liberation was ILLEGAL, and accomplished solely through the use of military force.

The point is, the actions of the current regime, the kidnapping of civilians, the deportations to Libya and El Salvador, the inhumane treatment of arrestees, the use of federalized law enforcement combined with military force against brown people, these things aren't immoral "because they're illegal". They're immoral because they're immoral, and it's going to take ILLEGAL force to do the right, good, and moral thing.

Sunday was a busy day at the heron rookery. This is the first year I've had a chance to visit and photograph through the entire nesting cycle, which has been great fun. I wonder how long it will be until the youngsters fledge?

June 15, 2025. Great blue heron rookery. Kensington Metropark. Milford, Michigan.

Photograph of treetops filled with at least a dozen herons at the heron rookery at Kensington Metropark in Milford, Michigan.

Hydrangea flowers beginning to open.
I love my hydrangea. It is struggling this year, a lot, between the ongoing and repeated surprise winters, the frequent mole assaults, and the high volume/frequent rain we've had. I hope it survives. (Nothing I am doing is helping to stop what seems like rot/damage.)
This flower, though, hope.

Please take a moment to send this pre-writren letter to put an end to the disgusting, racist, and climate destroying Bill 5 in Ontario. This bill will not only disturb and destroy ecosystems and animals, but it will also greatly worsen climate change, and it infringes upon Indigenous rights. Also, Mining = Man Camps = Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and Two Spirit peoples. Fight back! ✊️🖕

"With your vote, you can remind everyone in your life that what men want is always more important than what women want, or what women don’t want, like when a woman does not want to be molested by her boss."

#NYC Comptroller #BradLander: “I'm happy to report I'm just fine. I lost a button. But I'm gonna sleep in my bed tonight, safe, with my family... At that elevator, I was separated from someone named Edgardo... Edgardo is in ICE detention & he's not going to sleep in his bed tonight.”
