"It had begun to bloom some greenery around it, and there was a great blue heron perched on the cart, hunting in this little spot," Rosenberg recalled. "That was when it clicked for me — that any 3D geometry at all in that river channel will trap sediment, will begin a micro-bloom of ecosystem."

Ford’s government gave itself the power to sell off our schools to private developers—just like the Greenbelt scandal.

This was a false flag. It was not organized by "GenZ". Thats the front.

A Mexican Senator who's party lost in this past election went on FOX News and spread propaganda. More then likely at the behest of MAGA. And was probably compensated for doing so.
