It’s infuriating. Would love to know what you thought of the piece CBS did about the B52 bombers with the people behind them…any anonymity they had πŸ’¨

Does anyone know what these #beetles are? Beneficial or something I should persuade to depart from my #garden ?

The GOP budget bill is 1,116 pages long but it boils down to this one simple fact:

Republicans are facilitating a massive transfer of wealth to the richest Americans while making cuts that would rip away healthcare and food from millions of people.

It's Robin Hood in reverse.

My other favorite is from a small dialect of Spanish Morocco called HaketΓ­a - the word is Jarduina (Har-doo-EE-nah). It’s a cross between a tonterΓ­a (little stupid thing in Spanish) and a balagan (a mess in Hebrew). Can be used to refer to things, events, or people πŸ˜‚

One of my favorites is β€œungapatchka” from Yiddish - sort of like throwing everything but the kitchen sink at something and β€œthere you have it”

EPA is pushing a plan to weaken chemical safety rules, aiming to overturn hundreds of state bans on toxic PFAS and other harmful substances in everyday productsβ€”potentially increasing public exposure to chemicals linked to cancer and other serious health risks. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Agreed! The sooner we invest in desalination the faster we will be able to solve some of the upcoming issues.

πŸ‘‡ this and neither are disabilities. There are so many people operating from a place of fear, rather than empathy and love for humankind. I know it’s hard as we’re fighting, but remember to show empathy to those that need it and teach it wherever possible. The littles learn from us. πŸ’•

They are also making people in CA show up to an office (many of which are closing) in order to enroll. The cruelty is the point.

As Trump tries to dismantle the Department of Education, remember that his plan to cut the corporate tax rate to 15% would give the 100 largest corporations a tax cut larger than the entire department's K-12 budget.

Really think about how twisted this all is.
