What do we do with so much sad
Find work that gets us out of our own heads, centered in community resiliency, human and animal dignity and environmental care. Food banks, urban food gardens, safe houses, libraries, community medical, child care, shelters, education and outreach, etc etc.

Nice. Apparently this November Chambersburg, in Franklin County PA, went from a city council that was a 9-1 GOP majority to a 5-5 split with Dems. Franklin County PA voted 71% for the Child Rapist in 2024. I don't think they are fooling as many folks in rural Pennsylvania anymore. Same team!
Starting a conversation in deep-red Chambersburg, PA, with the politically disengaged and the Trump voters who are repulsed by electing a child rapist to the presidency. “Who do they think they’re fooling?”

It’s a really good time to start shopping at your local food co-op. The food is healthier, often organic, from values-driven small farmers and producers. Co-ops are democratically run, and more of your money stays in your community.
Congress’s shutdown deal eliminated key food safety rules, blocking agencies from enforcing measures to prevent contamination and trace outbreaks. This rollback has coincided with a surge in hospitalizations and deaths from foodborne illnesses.

The gutting of these rules coincides with a huge increase in hospitalizations and deaths from foodborne illnesses.
