Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security.

Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.

Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

—Harry Truman, 1952

What a lovely spot! Thanks for sharing!

I like that idea!

Tonight was a very bad night.

Shut us down for good reason.

Open back up without any of those reasons having been fixed.

You want us to have confidence in you?

You want us to think YOU can lead US?

Don’t get me wrong, it’s good to have a chance to be back.. but our pain produced nothing in return.

This is going to be awful for folks depending on Medicade. I can see folks in rural areas falling off of Medicade b/c they can not meet job requirements (volunteer 80/month in small towns?). Freq. they do not drive or have a dependable car. Dr offices don't have to take their insurance = travel.

It's always fun to find something different in the net!

Nffe eagle and cogs logo on a tealish background. With holdover funding running low, we're going to start seeing changed statuses. Definitions worth knowing: • Exempt- working and paid as normal • Excepted- working, Not paid* leave canceled •Intermittent excepted- working part time, not paid* • Non-excepted aka Furloughed- not working, not paid*, leave canceled *not paid real time. Once appropriations are passed, you'll recieve back pay @ http://www.NFFE.org & @ https://www.nffe-fsc.org

Help with the 'e' words.

If you and your colleagues received a follow-up furlough notice that omits the wording about getting repaid after the shutdown ends, employees may want to respond back with some version of the following: “Acknowledged receipt of furlough notice dated 31OCT2025. I understand that I am being placed in a furlough status due to the lapse in appropriations. However, I note that this notice omits the standard statement regarding retroactive pay under 31 U.S.C. § 1341(c) and the Government Employee Fair Treatment Act of 2019, which provides that both furloughed and excepted employees are entitled to receive back pay at their standard rate after the lapse ends. My acknowledgment of this notice does not waive any rights or entitlements under applicable law.”

We've had some questions about the omission of the furlough pay provisions in the recent shutdown notices. Here's language you can include w/signature acknowledging the new notice that ensures you aren't waiving your rights.

I know where this church is in central Idaho! I've seen deer, bear, and door cam footage of cougars in town but never fox. Watching these two 😆

That's a first 😆

This one came up in a conversation with my neighbor yesterday. They claimed that they heard on the news and other places that the democrats didn't want to fund SNAP. I looked back at them somewhat confused and fig it wasn't worth the argument, probably just another twisted truth dep on news source

My cat reminded me that it was breakfast time

Isn't technology amazing?

A field full of pumpkins

"Gabriel" shares, "I'm currently working pumpkins in Watsonville, CA. I will work so families will have Jack-o'-lanterns for #Halloween. It's hard work as pumpkins are large and heavy. The average pumpkin weighs 12–15 lbs, but some weigh 70 lbs and take two of us to lift." #WeFeedYou

I have a garlic puzzler. I planted Duganski and Spanish Roja in separate locations, but the ID tags were removed. I did keep them separate when harvesting, though.. Any idea which one is which? My guess is on the photos.

Oh, wow, I need to try this!

What killed Napoleon's army? Scientists find clues in DNA from fallen soldiers' teeth In 1812, hundreds of thousands of men in Napoleon's army perished during their retreat from Russia. Researchers now believe a couple of unexpected pathogens may have helped hasten the soldiers' demise...

"'A story of hardship'

After Rascovan and his team finished that puzzle, they had two hits. Both of them were bacteria: one that caused paratyphoid fever and the other relapsing fever, a pathogen transmitted by body lice that dated back to the Iron Age."

I'm trying my hand at falafel using a recipe from www.themediterraneandish.com/how-to-make-... tasty stuff and the patties hold together quite well! Next time I'll use my larger pan to fry it ;)

I see you may have captured the perpetrator

No Kings was a huge success. Just look at Trump's response. Turnout was enormous. There was no violence. And the wannabe king is triggered.

New in PN: No Kings was a huge success. Just look at Trump's response.

"Calling this movement 'No Kings' turns out to have been a stroke of genius, because Trump’s response was to essentially say *Yeah, I’m the king — and because I’m the king, I can poop on people!*"

I had several kinds as well. Some of the plants I received from someone else (Sungold, Early Girl, Big Beef, and a plum type). The ones I started are in the pic. I really like the Cherokee Purple and Ace 55.

What kind of tomatoes did you grow?
