Arresting someone for calling you fascist seems an excellent approach to proving their point.
Former Vikings punter Chris Kluwe was arrested at a city council meeting after stating, “MAGA is explicitly a Nazi movement. You may have replaced a swastika with a red hat, but that is what it is,” before engaging in peaceful civil disobedience.

Such a disgrace, Collins is just like all the other Nazi wannabe's trying to suck off Musk and 45.

Hammock Spider - Pityohyphantes costatus

This spider was very small, maybe 2mm, I think it's a male also.

Jewel Weed Flower - this is a very important food source for bees, Bumble bees love it. The seeds are also edible raw, tastes like walnuts. The liquid from crushed stems can be used on poison ivy and bug bites.

Every day of late I have to remind myself of the following:

I cant be outraged for others, at the actions of 45 and the Oligarchs.

It's only 4 yrs, hopefully.

This is what ppl voted for, I can't change their minds, only remind them of their choice when it causes them strife.
