USDA Cuts School Food Program: List of States Impacted Many states have been notified that funding for the Local Food for Schools Cooperative Agreement Program has been cut, which helped bring local food to schools.

City crews have begun painting over the 'Black Lives Matter' street mural in D.C. In June 2020, the phrase "Black Lives Matter" had been painted on the pavement by the city in uppercase, yellow letters, covering two blocks on 16th Street, about a quarter mile from the White House.

Bypassing TPR to get to kinship guardianship is not in a child's best interest because it is not permanent and can be overturned at a later date. The rest of the bill is wonderful, but that one portion just moves a case off DCFS's docket.

Thinking about spring and getting back to gardening and adding the next batch of chicks...maybe even bees. Having some food self-sufficiency seems more important than ever.

Finally captured this escape artist living in my front porch. Actually my teenage son/cat whisperer did. No microchip, so she's with us now. Meet Rolo.

Opposed to guns but had to re-evaluate the safety of my home for personal reasons. I will get PROPERLY trained. This may not be a bad idea considering how the institutions around us are being threatened. I am so sad for my children and grandchildren growing up in this angry, divided country.
