Thank you to everybody who has been messaging me all over social media about what is happening in Portland. I have had a busy morning and have been very active on Facebook and blue sky posting about Tr*mp threatening my city and sending agents here.

I want to make a few things really clear: as of right now these are not national guard, they are not being dispatched all over the city, they are concentrated around the ICE building. This is happening for 3 reasons:

1. Tr*mp is pissed that Portland has cited the ICE facility for dozens of violations of their permit. This is retaliation.
2. TACO Tr*mp has failed in LA and DC and Chicago. He is going to keep hopping all over the country trying to incite an insurrection. He's desperate: he is failing everywhere he is attempting to start shit, and in order to undermine midterm elections, he is trying to fabricate a scenario where he can justify invoking the insurrection act, and nobody is playing into his hand. Portland will not be taking the bait, either.
3. The Epstein Files!!

Thanks for your patience while I was gone for a few days. Kiddo is settled at school and I just got home and need to unpack and help other kids with homework. I hope to get a few videos made tonight!

A quick update: I'll be posting a bit less the next two days. Mom duties take priority for a bit.

If you're missing my regular content, may I suggest going back and watching some of my olddddd permaculture videos?

Tr*mp's speech at the UN today was an embarrassment for the American people. I will try to cover it later today, but after watching it, I'm not sure what to say other than I'm so ashamed that a frail aging narcissist bent on self-aggrandizement, grift, and revenge is the leader of our country.

I have lots I want to cover today. Thanks for being patient with me if I tackle some other subjects first.

Good afternoon. I hope you are having a peaceful Sunday. A few housekeeping issues:

1. School starts for all my kids this week. That means I am going to be needed for the mom things like driving and support with homework, etc. I may be posting a bit more sporadically (or chaotically?) for the first week or two until I get into a fall routine.

2. There are elections happening all over the country between now and the end of the year. Please remember to vote and remind your neighbors to vote! We have to exercise our rights in order to defend them.

3. October 18 is No Kings 2. With more than 1300 events already scheduled, it is shaping up to be the largest single day of protest in the history of the United States after No Kings 1. Our right to free speech is under threat. It is more important than ever that we all turn out on October 18. Find the event near you at NoKings.org Please invite friends and neighbors and help empower your community to resist fascism.

Ok, I've got some videos to film for the rest of today and tomorrow! Topics I'm hoping to cover: combatting nihilism, Christian TikTok seems to think the Rapture is happening this week, Tyler Robinson update, and more.

I'm doing some reading this morning on food insecurity in 2025 America.

Do you find it more or less difficult to afford food than a year ago?

Also: if you're willing, could you share in the comments if you are making changes to the kinds of foods you buy now? And why you're making those changes?

How is everyone's Friday evening? I'm out in the front yard garden, cooking down my ancho and guajillo sauce before I add the pulled beef back to the pot. I try to cook outside as much as possible on warm days to keep the house cool. We'll serve it with leftover black beans from yesterday (tons of shredded summer squash and kale in the beans) and rice and chopped tomatoes from the garden.

Persimmons behind me are getting closer and closer to ripeness. Another month, perhaps?

I may film a few more videos this evening after dinner. We shall see. Loads I want to talk about but I'm running out of steam for the day. I give it 50/50 odds.

Just a reminder to spread the word about No Kings II on October 18. More than 1300 events already registered. www.NoKings.org

No Kings 2 has 1300 events already registered and we are still a month out. This event is shaping up to be the largest protest in US history.

Please visit NoKings.org to find your local event or ADD your group's event. We must exercise our rights and organize in the open. The pillars of support need to see trump is deeply unpopular and American people won't stand for him take away our rights.

With network TV bending the knee to fascism, and ABC/Disney pulling Jimmy Kimmel, I keep seeing people say "the first amendment is dead."

No. No, y'all.

Do not hand over your rights to a tyrant. The Constitution still exists. Your rights exist. You must exercise them to protect them. We must organize to defend them. If you don't like what's happening in America, do not cower: work to restore democracy.
