Since it is Solstice, I am posting a picture of the first flowers of spring here on the northern prairies - the Prairie Crocus, Pulsatilla patens. We have some spectacular blooming sites right here in the city.

Happy Solstice!

Informant warned FBI weeks before #January6th that the far-right saw #Trump #tweet as 'a call to arms'

The email, which has not previously been made public, adds to the mounting evidence that the #FBI had intelligence warnings that Jan. 6 was a major threat.

Politics is broken is because transparency is a dirty word. It is incredulous that Trump’s tax affairs have been shielded from sunlight by using the very system that is designed to shine that light.

As president he had a responsibility to the American people to demonstrate he was not compromised by debt to foreign actors or US special interests and that’s BEFORE consideration of any illegality surrounding tax evasion.

Dems should be saying, let ALL holders of high public office reciprocate.

Good morning 🌞
Happy Winter Solstice

Turns out a member of Elon’s team is a SUSPECT, not a victim in his fake stalker incident

Elon banned journalists from Twitter over a goddamn lie & he knows it

Trump attacked our Capitol over a goddamn lie & he knows it

DeSantis arrested voters over a goddamn lie & he knows it

Goldman Sachs’s Steve Mnuchin used the IRS to shield Trump from audits

Same Mnuchin who used the IRS to go after enemies like James Comey & Andy McCabe

Same Mnuchin who got $1 billion from MBS

Same Mnuchin who funneled $500 billion in PPP $ to friends like Kushner & Tom Brady

No mention of the DNC & RNC pipe bombs in the Jan 6 panel’s final report

No mention of disabled panic buttons

No mention of Pence’s disabled access cards

No ethics referral for Greene, Boebert, Gaetz

No criminal referral for Ginni Thomas

Jack Smith, America is counting on you

Congressman-elect George Santos lied about his academic and professional credentials

Herschel Walker lied about his credentials

Trump lied about his credentials

Tom Cotton lied about serving as an Army Ranger in Iraq & Afghanistan

Without lies, what do Republicans have?

@robert_said_what said:

If a candidate, use Kari Lake as an example decides to cite fraud and refuse to concede every single Republican that ran in that race should not be seated either. I’m beyond tired of hearing how this person lost due to fraud but yea every other race on the same ballot was good. It’s an argument that defies logic and makes no sense at all and the press needs to start bringing up that oh ok so Kari lake was defrauded but no one else on the same ballots was? Mock them for stupidity

If we’re being honest here, this was the WORST my holiday sales have ever been. First of all I got Covid at the beginning of the month and it stayed, and so I could NOT make and post all the new #pottery items I usually make in December. Then muskrat destroyed my main source of sharing the work I had made. It’s been hard. And building a new community’s here is hard. Please be gentle with us new #creators here. Some of us are broken and trying our best to rebuild. #ArtMatters #artist #community

It is that time of the year. The Wreath of Khan.

The Senate passed the Sunshine Protection Act unanimously in March—with the goal of making daylight savings permanent

The house failed to vote on it. They can’t pass something that EVERYONE wants.

(Cough, cough) gun control (cough).

My red anemone from the summer, just been reminded about it as the anemone leaves are emerging in the garden. Is it too early ? https://anne-haile.pixels.com/featured/red-anemone-side-view-anne-haile.html #ayearforart

FFS would be a good name for a second rate, unreliable package delivery company that can’t compete with DHS or UPS.

Cancel your holiday plans, we're going to the Moon!

With the urgency of the Space Race in full effect, Apollo 8 astronauts Frank Borman, Bill Anders, and Jim Lovell launched from @NASAKennedy #OTD in 1968.
