You must write this book. And where are the pteris?

So many despots to compare him to, hard to choose the best.

I could see no compass before me to steer by

Never forget what these people are stealing from us

Corrupt. Dangerous. Deeply deeply damaging.

They go out w/ a bang. Miss the amazing flora & fauna of the SW.

It’s a Century Plant - they live about 30 years and usually flower once, right before they die. Aka Agave americana.

Senator Murray Slams Trump Admin for Choking Off Lifesaving NIH Medical Research - Senator Patty Murray Washington, D.C. – Today, U.S. Senator Patty Murray (D-WA), Vice Chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee, issued the following statement on reports today that President Trump’s Office of Manageme...

BREAKING: Trump wants to illegally cut off $15 billion in lifesaving NIH research.

Research to cure cancer, Alzheimer's, and so much more is on the line.

These people are LYING about waste, fraud, and abuse at NIH to justify attacking medical research—we all need to say so.

few outcomes, except for 99% of FDA-approved drugs, 174 recipients of 104 Nobel Prizes, training ~30K MDs and ~10K PhDs per year to enter the workforce, and a 34% reduction in age-adjusted cancer deaths since 1990 -- the largest decrease in history

A four panel comic titled Bird Sounds. In panel 1, labeled thrush, a wood thrush sings its beautiful eeohlay song against a forest background. In panel 2, labeled wren, a winter wren delicately sings tweedly tweedly tweedly. In panel 3, labeled warbler, a yellow warbler delicately sings sweet sweet. In panel 4, labeled heron in a death metal font, a heron screams KRAAGH against a background of fire.

Bird sounds.

He is really gonna kill us all. The epitome of science denial. He never met a fact he felt
cozy with.

Is there a time frame?
