All day, many of you have been asking for a Cheney obituary from me. Get ready:
His Works Completed, Dick Cheney, Mass Murderer of Iraqis and American Democracy, Dies
As much as the Trumpists claim to disavow the War on Terror, they walk a path paved by the most powerful vice president in U.S. history.

Reminder on indigenous peoples day, permaculture, and regenerative concepts, are a rebranding of indigenous peoples’ models - they are the original authors. (Lots of white guy hippies teaching certification courses etc.) We garden on stolen land, we are benefactors of indigenous wisdom. 🌱
