I’m a former Air Force Brat and retired educator. I reconnected with some great people here. I love Blue Sky. My emoji is silly. I’m just an old resister trying to help save Democracy and rebuild after Trump. I’ll listen, but may not always agree. 🚫DMs.

Ever wonder what snow in the swamp would look like? This is 5 miles into the Louisiana swamps in the Atchafalaya basin... it's unreal... having lived down there for the first 28 years of my life, we never saw anything like this.

Most people don't understand how much a billion dollars is. It's difficult to comprehend. Comparing a million and a billion using time helps: A million seconds is almost twelve days. A billion seconds is nearly thirty-two years. And yet we have multi-billionaires. Nobody needs that much $

Some of Hawaii's farmers need boosts from federal funding so there is greater food security in the islands.
However, nearly $90 million in funding has been frozen or cut by the Trump administration, according to the Oʻahu Resource Conservation and Development Council. nbcnews.to/44nlFtH

Conservatives love to fearmonger about SNAP, but here are the facts:
- Most recipients work — or are kids, seniors, or disabled.
- Fraud rate: ~1%.
- Avg benefit: $6/day.
- <2% of fed budget, yet lifts millions from hunger.
- Every $1 in SNAP adds up to $1.50+ in local economic activity.
- Most recipients work — or are kids, seniors, or disabled.
- Fraud rate: ~1%.
- Avg benefit: $6/day.
- <2% of fed budget, yet lifts millions from hunger.
- Every $1 in SNAP adds up to $1.50+ in local economic activity.
Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.
