================== Why Pine Tree Activism? ================== Good Sunday morning!. It's bright, sunny, and warming up. Welcome new followers! I appreciate your interest and faith in the content here. I post this from time to time to explain the background to choosing the name Pine Tree Activism.
I still need to find a functioning drive to recover some ancient files from old disks.
He's not. He's a felon.
Here's a good one, full of ads and paywalls: www.thehealthsite.com/news/is-dona...
If he’s alive, then they should produce the Epstein files
This strategy is great, actually. It makes most of us happier, and supporters of his bullshit mad. Win-win.
"Look it up...he's dead" "That's a body double bro...look it up" "Do your research...he dead"
Burly man, tears in his eyes, came up to me personally, folks. Large man, said "I saw the body, he shat himself to death!" Then he sobbed to until he passed out. True story, but MSNBC won't tell you that.
Yep. They just kept—and still keep—speaking lies as if they’re true. cf: • Big crime in L.A. 🙄 • Eating dogs & cats • Kids using litter boxes • The “caravans” • That Sharpie NOAA map Etc. etc. etc.
we can just keep saying he's dead and refusing to credit or acknowledge anyone who refers to him being alive, this will work, trust me and just follow my lead
Nothing says respect for our troops like deploying the National Guard only to have them pick up trash and spread mulch all day.
Look like kayakers to me. Big oofda, get off the water!
Huge props on the shot, but everyone please don't be in a boat this close to a storm.
WOW! Worth the wait.
If you're arrested in Illinois protesting the planned ICE HQ in North Chicago, I can represent you pro bono. Email me at sheryl@weikallaw.com. As always, I will take as many cases as I can.
I didn't grow up in a Guy Economy but it's the only way to live. My Guy Skills and Guy Network may be limited, but Guys always know other Guys.

This is how everyone should respond to ICE raids. An out of control government needs to be blocked, harassed, and turned away at every opportunity. Record everything with cloud backup and make sure a trusted individual can access the recordings and send them to the media and lawyers.
The turtles shall inherit the earth.
Good night 🌙 and….
The whole anti-christ angle is uh... a temptingly easy parallel.
Some fools are telling me that legislative people can never be real leaders, that the skill set is different. Bullshit. Watch this LBJ speech. Is @schumer.senate.gov giving speeches like this, citing Lexington and Concord, about the reanimated Confederacy conquering DC? Do this, Senators.
“Nothing is more important than stopping fascism, because fascism will stop us all.” - Fred Hampton
“Do you guys feel bad about what you’re doing? Don’t you f*cking hate yourselves?”
could we all just agree to keep acting like he's dead from now on, no matter what, can we Sixth Sense him please
the Berlin Wall fell because a bunch of people misunderstood a press conference, flooded the gates, and reached a critical mass. we think about it a lot. the thing about the people in control is, they're out numbered and always will be. all it can take is one little misunderstanding to remind us.

Them: “Cities are all rotting hellscapes!” Cities:
It's raining and I'm in a tent. There was no rain in the forecast. It is very loud.
Umm, kindly stay off my webcam--definitely didn't allow.
Quite something to see this all laid out in such stark detail. Excellent reporting from @hana-kiros.bsky.social. Gift link here because everyone should read this: www.theatlantic.com/health/archi...
Every day, Trump gives active and retired military another reason to hate him.
Trump's allegations against Lisa Cook are not the story. The story is that a Trump loyalist is deeply corrupting agency processes for the express purpose of manufacturing pretexts for referring Trump's leading enemies for DOJ prosecution. Dug into this process here: newrepublic.com/article/1996...
Adam Raine, 16, died from suicide in April after months on ChatGPT discussing plans to end his life. His parents have filed the first known case against OpenAI for wrongful death. Overwhelming at times to work on this story, but here it is. My latest on AI chatbots: www.nytimes.com/2025/08/26/t...
They are sending soldiers into cities to prepare to intimidate people at the polls next year. They gerrymander because they can’t win on policy. They intimidate because even gerrymandering won’t work at this point.
Attempting to rig elections on his behalf. Turning the military on citizens. Toying with the idea of declaring martial law. Attacking political enemies and punishing those who speak out against his regime. If this were happening in another country, what would you call it?
“This is about the President of the United States and his complicit lackey, Stephen Miller, searching for ways to lay the groundwork to circumvent our democracy, militarize our cities, and end elections.” – Gov. J.B. Pritzker
Correct answer
You are living through the unthinkable: the president of the United States using the military to seize domestic power. The greatest crisis of executive power in American history, at the hands of the worst, most corrupt, and most unfit president in American history.
Truth Art! #arresttrump #art
It's arguably pretty cruel to its producers, and not great for the planet as a whole (at least in American mega-dairy systems)
A man, near the White House, who describes himself as a "retired disabled combat veteran," after burning an American flag tells bystanders "I am being detained because I expressed my First Amendment rights."
"Honey, I don't have much time. I've been arrested by ICE and they are sending me to a detainment center. I love you and the kids, I will be OK, please call our attorney" -- John Shin, DACA resident, speaking to his wife last week. She hasn't heard from him since www.fox13now.com/news/local-n...
everyone involved needs to be permanently barred from public office, for starters www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...
Reading an article titled "Why didn't Brazilian democracy die?" and a key part of the story is a Supreme Court that actually did its job
This is what you need to be showing @nbcnews.com @abcnewsbot.bsky.social @cbsnews.com @foxnews.com.web.brid.gy Do your damn jobs
WTF 🤬 This is happening in Washington, DC
I'm not a medical journalist so not sure of the standard in describing re-emerging eradicated diseases.
“He said, ‘We’ll notify next of kin if she dies.’ And at that moment, I knew that I was no longer dealing with humans.” www.masslive.com/news/2025/08...
Yes. People did and still do die from it. But not in the US since it was stopped by a very simple, cost-effective program.
My lab's been attacked by an anti-wind group and their lawyers. They threatened the science funding of my whole university, to shut me and my undergraduate research assistants up. NYT just covered it. 1/n www.nytimes.com/2025/08/25/c...
Yes, and then a successful program eliminated it north or the Panama Canal. Until republicans de-funded it.
Great, just what we needed, more nightmare fuel. From another Republican- de-funded program.
KILMAR IN BALTIMORE: “Never lose hope. Promise me you’ll continue fight for freedom — not just for me, for everybody.” He was just taken into ICE custody.
The prolonged public torturing of a single man because the state cannot admit to its errors is not something that occurs in a free country
Americans have believed in the rule of law so faithfully that we cannot contemplate what happens when it disappears. Younger nations or those with histories of dictatorship and autocracy know better — which is why they are quicker to take action to preserve their democracies.
Let’s be clear: deporting Kilmar Abrego Garcia to Uganda makes no sense—it’s not his home country. Nothing about this process has been fair. ICE is targeting him with cruelty. This is the weaponization of government, not justice.
I've been saying this since 2015! The Emperor Has No Clothes!
It isn’t normal for a president to repeatedly threaten the use of military force against American citizens. Treating the National Guard as a political pawn disrespects those who serve and undermines public trust in our military.
The US Administration is now deleting its internal communications, in brazen violation of the Federal Records Act, in order to conceal its other illegal acts. Those entrusted to enforce our Congress’s laws sit, simply watching this happen, flaccid and impotent.
WTF happens to the brains of people who accumulate billions of dollars?
If you have to compliment a president in order to have an election, you do not have a president or a democracy. You have an authoritarian regime. And apparently, you’re not recognizing that.
Nope, it turns out it doesn't matter and now you've thrown away your scruples for nothing to boot
Paying taxes is part of how we ensure basic rights are protected, especially for the minority. Do you want a dictatorship? This is how you get a dictatorship.
So glad sites like this exist so we can hear directly from billionaires that there is a moral imperative to tax them out of existence. Living proof that having bags of money doesn't make you smart, nice, or fun at parties.
I’ve met folks on $7.50 an hour that have more courage to stand up for what they believe than you. Tax the rich.
lol more scared of taxes than a dictator. too bad the rest of us don't have enough money to protect us.
He’s wanted to declare martial law from day one. Bypass all checks and rule as a tyrant. Many have speculated how he’d do it. Now his gambit is clear. DC was a test. He’s using manufactured crime stats to send troops into blue states & cities. This is not a drill. Democracy is at defcon 1.
“Stringer noted that real police officers do not wear ski masks.” I think I see a problem…
"Twenty-three Democratic attorneys general now gather on near-daily Zoom calls at 8 AM Pacific, which means the East Coast officials are already on their third coffee. They divide responsibilities and share templates for lawsuits they’ve been drafting since last spring."
so dangerous they kill 40,000 people a year?
mRNA technologies: Unlimited potential to improve human health. I spoke with the fantastic Erin Shumaker at POLITICO to discuss this topic and its applications to cancer, autoimmunity and beyond. @erinlschumaker.bsky.social @politico.com @cornertx #mRNA #Cancer politi.co/3VjfRvu
Just crimin' here for all the world to see
Intel and other similar takings aren't socialism, they're kleptocracy. the goal here isn't a sovereign wealth fund it's Putin's Russia
I don't know if Crapo knew there was a reporter in the room. These quotes...
UPDATE: Fox News reports that ICE told Kilmar Abrego Garcia they are going to deport him to Uganda on Monday.
Let's keep focused on the broader pattern here. I've outlined it in six bullet points below. Viewed all in one place, it's quite ominous: newrepublic.com/article/1994...
Japanese American groups blast the use of Fort Bliss, a former WWII Japanese internment camp site, as an ICE detention center. www.nbcnews.com/news/asian-a...

I’ve seen so many people spreading the misinformation that PBS is shut down or is shutting down. The Corporation for Public Broadcasting has been shut down and PBS has been defunded. HOWEVER!!! PBS still exists. It is more important now than ever that you donate to PBS if you can.
Yikes
I did Muay Thai and BJJ for many years and something I always found fascinating was how few law-enforcement officers actually stuck around. A few did, but for the most part, they'd come to a class or two, get their asses kicked, and never come back. Draw your own conclusions from that.
Justice Jackson is basically reporting live from inside a garbage fire www.ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/nih-c...
Good doggo.
This is so important… Sharon has been tracking license plates on cars driven by ICE agents, and she’s finding they don’t match the vehicles. In other words, ICE is using secret, illegal tactics—just like we suspected. REMINDER: the DMV is not a federal agency. @governor.ca.gov 🧵
It’s all about sending a message. The raid is the message. It’s all about retribution. He is the retribution president. As with troops on our streets, it’s all about normalizing fascism. This is fascism. Fascism is here. Too many Americans are too “busy” to care. But it’s here.
Wait. Trump stole thousands of documents. He lied about it, secretly moved the boxes around to hide them. And he shares some of them with u authorized people. That’s an incredibly serious offense. And he got off. No, some Americans are above the law.
The Bolton raid should chill you: my emergency video (full video linked) adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/emergency-...
I read somewhere, if marriage benefited women, it would have been taken away from us by now.
The lack of breast pocket was a request. It reminds Miller of the jackets he wore when he his youth, in 15th century Wallachia.
Decades ago, I supported mandatory helmet laws for people riding bikes. Then I was convinced by evidence and the bigger picture that such laws are actually counter-productive in many ways. This NZ article explains some. I support helmets, but not mandatory helmet laws. Build safe infrastructure.
Noting as @iceflightmonitor.bsky.social does the first to Azerbaijan since at least 2020 when recording began.
Again, if a single municipal-level Democrat ever spoke about rural Americans this way, it would be a weeks-long National Conversation™️ about civility, & the lack of respect for Real Folkz, & how Democrats need to moderate & reach out to them, & all the other things. Happy week, everyone!
