In his Farewell Address on January 14, 1981, President Jimmy Carter worried about the direction of the country. He noted that the American people had begun to lose faith in the governmentโs ability to deal with problems and were turning to โsingle-issue groups and special interest organizations to ensure that whatever else happens, our own personal views and our own private interests are protected.โ This focus on individualism, he warned, distorts the nationโs purpose because โthe national interest is not always the sum of all our single or special interests. We are all Americans together, and we must not forget that the common good is our common interest and our individual responsibility.โ Carter urged Americans to protect our โmost precious possessions: the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the land which sustains us,โ and to advance the basic human rights that had, after all, โinvented America.โ โOur common vision of a free and just society,โ he said, โis our greatest source of cohesion at home and strength abroad, greater even than the bounty of our material blessings.โ
This is the Jimmy Carter piece you want to read today. @hcrichardson.bsky.social has a full look at the former President from his humble beginnings to his remarkable post-White House work on democracy & human rights.

Bringing my pinned Tweet along with me as I migrate here because this still matters & because we cannot normalize what Trump intends to do to DOJ. Justice should never be a political tool for presidents & their pals.

Itโs astonishing to me that currently one in ten gallons of water distributed in the region serves golf courses.
The image presents a comparison between two types of lawns to promote #NoMowMay. On top, titled "Why have a lawn like this?" it displays a grid of uniform green squares representing a plain, regularly mowed lawn. Below, titled "When you can have a lawn like this?" the grid intersperses colourful icons of a sunflower, a pink flower, a ladybug, a frog, a bee, a butterfly, a white flower with a yellow centre, a tulip, another sunflower, a red mushroom with white spots, and additional flowers, symbolising a lively, biodiverse lawn encouraged by letting grass grow naturally during May and beyond.
