Iran's regime faces an existential choice: continue proxy attacks on US bases or escalate to direct strikes that risk a US - Iran ground war. Their restraint so far suggests they're still open to negotiation with the US. There is still time but the window is closing.
Your elected officials need to hear from you. Urge your Members of Congress to reclaim their constitutional authority by supporting the war powers resolutions that would prohibit Trump from dragging us further into a disastrous war with Iran. https://act.indivisible.org/sign/no-iran-war-senate?source=mastodon&medium=directpost
Tell Your Senators: No War With Iran

Trump has bombed Iran. Against the will of the American people, without a vote from Congress, and without any plan to protect American lives or deescalate the crisis, Trump unilaterally launched a military strike that could ignite a full-scale regional war. But we have the power to stop this. The Constitution is clear: Only Congress can declare war. That’s not a technicality – it’s a safeguard meant to keep exactly this kind of unilateral warmongering in check. Senator Tim Kaine has introduced a War Powers Resolution to rein in Trump’s illegal military action and block further escalation. A strong vote in the Senate sends a crystal-clear message: we will not be dragged into war. Demand your Senator oppose war with Iran, and support the Kaine War Powers Resolution. The email to your senators:

Today in Jesus fucking Christ I hope your house burns to the ground:

The housed residents around this encampment apparently came up with a suggestion to CUT DOWN ALL THE TREES in this park so that the unhoused people had no shade and would have to leave.

Up early doing #CommunityDefence which doesn't involve arson.

Edited because voice-text and too tired to proofread. Expect some very specific ranting later today.

Yep!
Of all my bee facts this is possibly my favourite - there are even bumblebees that don’t go with the crowd, the rules, the flow, which results in benefits for plants and the planet.
Here’s to all the disrupters for good! The awkward ones. The non-conformists. The brave!

Early by the way…just sayin’.

A couple more waterfalls and general forestry goodness in the Minnamurra Rainforest

Now that's what I call a fantastic weekend. I can't feel my arse anymore after all that cycling in steep hilly country, but I don't really need it until tomorrow anyway.

Can I hope that an accident, his health, or a shooter takes Trump out? Is that wrong?

@FrozenPeach I don't think it's wrong. I see him as an abuser.

I'd just like to throw out there that the Bible contains a number of instances where someone prays "Lord, it's them or me/us, please pour out your justice on them before I/we die."

Psalm 69: 22-28 is just one example
Psalm 109 is on bumper stickers by now

Just sayin', in the Episcopal church we try to do forgiveness and Love Thy Neighbor.

But.

I got those psalms out FWIW.

(I bring this up because it reminded me that my Catholic neighbor was asking me, "Is it okay to pray for Trump to die?" And I was like, "Well, the applicable prayers are in the Bible soooo....")
