We’ve been forewarned that grocery store prices will go up in 2025. Consider planting a victory garden, being part of a community garden, getting your fruits and vegetables from a local farm, or growing small indoor or patio planters. Winter plantings: carrots, parsnips, broccoli, cauliflower, etc.

One of the worst things to happen to the Democratic Party are the fake Democrats like Manchin and Sinema who are only in it for themselves. This also includes influencers. We have to get better at sussing them out and giving them the boot.

Toni Morrison's words from 2015, as timely as ever:
“This is precisely the time when artists go to work. There is no time for despair, no place for self-pity, no need for silence, no room for fear. We speak, we write, we do language. That is how civilizations heal.”

The Arctic Ocean could see its first ice-free day as early as 2027, with a likely window within 9-20 years after 2023. This won’t bring dramatic change overnight, but it marks a fundamental shift in the Arctic’s natural environment—a stark warning about climate change. #ActOnClimate
