Don't shortchange your book.

The solution is right above us. Solar panels on existing buildings, car parks, and along highways generate clean power without sacrificing farmland or wild spaces. Let's use our built world first. #Renewables #Innovation
“We love America but hate your president.”
I am American and I’m right there with you.
First I’ve heard of this readathon. Thanks for sharing.
Always the same, it’s just a shame, that’s a-all.
Never read this essay, but I’ll bet it’s good. Hazlitt could be delightfully bitchy, so I would imagine he understood the guilty pleasure of hating!
My humanity is the one thing they cannot take from me through legislation, through force, through fear. It belongs to me. And I will not surrender it, not even to my own rage, not even in the name of the people we have lost. I will not let them take that too.
Happy National Pi Day
🦊 Meet and Greet 🦊
Pi day the mathematical constant π. Also known as pi, the first three and most recognized digits are 3.14
The day is celebrated by pi enthusiasts and pie lovers alike!
I will celebrate by baking an apple pie 😉 🥧
We will be okay
Love
Foxy
You’re very welcome! Thank you so much for sharing it!
So impressive
Tom Nichols: We're being governed by a bunch of juveniles who think war is some kind of fist-pumping video game. I can tell you taught hundreds of military officers over the years, they take this business a lot more seriously. This isn't just B-roll footage from a bad movie.
It costs American taxpayers $11,500 every second to fund Donald Trump’s war in Iran.
So while your money flies away to fund this war, remember that Donald Trump wouldn't lift a finger to lower health care costs here in America.
Watch This GOP Senator Learn in Real Time Why the SAVE Act Is Bad
Have Republicans even read the SAVE Act that the president so desperately wants to pass?
newrepublic.com/post/207707/...
Medicare for All - "That's socialism!"
Social Security - "That's socialism!"
Debt free education - "That's socialism!"
Universal childcare - "That's socialism!"
$1 billion per day on a war in the Middle East that no one wants, while millions of people at home struggle.
"That's just how it is."
Love this!💖

The SAVE ACT will disenfranchise millions of Americans from voting. That is what this regime wants because they can’t win anything in the current political climate. Continue to call your Senators!

Happy Friday, loves. Here’s a bit of sunrise encouragement to ease you into the day. May this reminder wrap around you like warmth — you’re enough, you’re growing, and you’re glowing already. #Jaye’sMorningLight
Sickening racism from a sitting senator. The Ogles hate is contagious.
You’re either calling this out or normalizing it. There’s no third option.
"I'm a 'Hell no!' on any more money for the war."
Sen. Chris Van Hollen
What's more likely to happen with the SAVE Act? Voter suppression, not voter fraud prevention.
The GOP is using this bill as a Trojan horse to restrict voting rights and maintain their power.
Call (202) 224-3121 ＆ tell your Senator to #StopTheSaveAct

"Defense officials can’t formally close the Civilian Protection Center of Excellence without congressional approval, but Bryant and others say it now exists mostly on paper.
'It has no mission or mandate or budget,' Bryant said."
"Around 90% of the Civilian Harm Mitigation & Response mission is gone, former personnel said, with no more than a single adviser now at most commands. At Central Command, where a 10-person team was cut to one, “a handful” of the eliminated positions were backfilled to help with the Iran campaign."
"[T]he Trump administration has reorganized national security around two principles: more aggression, less accountability. . . . 'We’re departing from the rules and norms that we’ve tried to establish as a global community since at least World War II.'”
👍👍
I just voted YES on the biggest housing bill in Congress in more than 30 years.

delivered a #CupOfJoe w/ a latte truth about the SAVE Act.
It would put more red tape between women & the ballot box.
Why? They’re scared of women voters. Their goal is to take women’s rights backwards.
Fuck that. We will #KeepMovingForward!
This study paints a horrifying picture of Gen Z men.
40% believe “we have gone so far in promoting women's equality that we are discriminating against men”
33% say a husband should have the final word on important decisions.
59% say men are expected to do too much to support equality.
Slotkin: "If Russia is helping to kill US forces, we have crossed a rubicon. We have to take decisive action on that. Instead, we're giving them breaks on oil. They're making a ton of money."
Repubs say Dem's not cooperating, but House Ranking Dem Rosa Delauro put forth legislation to fund DHS except for ICE & CBP while working out details re observing the 4th & 6th Amendments by those agencies. Repubs refused because they think judicial warrants are an imposition.
Thanks so much for including me! Love the message of this starter pack. 💙💙💙
