In the 50's TV brought nat'l awareness of crimes no one outside area wld have known & at same time law enforcement changed from reporting probability of victimhood (hasn't changed in 100 yrs) to total numbers (goes up w/ pop. growth). Changed perception, created political game- always a made up prob

Local teen's website pulls together county's homeless resources in one-stop shop Homeless outreach activists are sharing a QR code with homeless individuals that will help them to access the site, far superior to the paper pamphlets that were handed out in the past.

This is resistance. This is utilizing your skills for the greater good.

When they decided in '50's to change from reporting probability of victimhood to gross number (that go up as pop. grows) they changed perception from safety to a "crime problem". It's made up. The chance of victimhood for most crimes hasn't change in 100 yrs. except 4 Black & Hispanic males 15-25.

The #ProDeathRepublicanParty agenda is to wipe out as many "unworthy" ppl as possible. Unworthy=not rich. Of course he chose the path that will kill people.

Also, in Lexington KY they've brilliantly repurposed the libraries to have all kinds of computer access, meeting rooms & hosting for all kinds of activities so they're community hubs. Lots of use, different ways... Also w/ generators so e/o knows where to go in blackout.

Hey, as a librarian I need to tell you:

Our funding depends on usage.

So go ahead and check out that book even if you don't think you'll finish it. No one will know. Check out that DVD even though you might not like it. Get ambitious in your quest for knowledge.

We also warn that President Trump harbors genocidal aims related to specific groups he and his supporters believe are worthless and threatening. He posted on Truth Social that β€œCrime, Savagery, Filth, and Scum will DISAPPEAR.” This is genocidal rhetoric

And gap plans are private insurance too. Without either gap or Adv I wouldn't be able to use medicare b/c I couldn't cover the 20%.

The piece many don't seem to understand is Medicare leaves 20% left unpaid. Before Advantage it was gap plans only. Varying in cost but for anything like the coverage I have on my Advantage, way more a mo. than I can afford. My Adv plan covered $5000 in dental work plus surgery on my foot last year.

The text is: "The Pres, VP & all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, & Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes & Misdemeanors." It means each of those officers can be separately impeached, not that removal of one leads to removal of all

On a children's ward or anywhere else where people are sick or suffering he'd just see expendables, the people who, because they aren't rich or healthy, don't deserve to be alive.

Unprecedented Big Money Surge for Super PAC Tied to Trump Million-dollar donors fuel a nearly $200 million war chest to support a president who can’t run again.

Many of these people own companies that can be boycotted (some of their stuff not so much) so we should be researching the lists and organizing large scale boycotting

Grocery stores that have been eating the cost of tariffs are about to pump the brakes. Some are looking to be more transparent about the coming price hikes.

Starting tomorrow, new tariffs of 15% to 50% hit a wide range of food items.

If you’ve got a household food budget, this is a must-watch.
