Phytolacca americana, better known as "Poke Weed".
The fruit is a berry and birds drop the seeds everywhere in their poop.

Found this foot tall...weed? Seems to have magically appeared in about
2 days. I just pulled bolted spinach from the bed on Saturday and
Monday evening and never noticed this foot-tall, foot-wide plant was
there.
Unless it is a volunteer of somethign I can't recognize.
Anybody recognize the critter?
