Breaking: The Supreme Court is now officially considering taking up a case overturning same-sex marriage.

This is the first time in history the court has considered rolling back this right.

If Mike Johnson is refusing to call the House back into session during the shutdown, then we’ll do the work right here the Bronx.

The New York Essential plan is being eliminated entirely next year due to the GOP healthcare cuts. People’s lives are at stake.

And that’s why we’re fighting back.

"Renewables overtake coal as world's biggest source of electricity"

Renewables overtake coal as world's biggest source of electricity
Developing countries lead the historic clean energy charge but the US and EU rely more on fossil fuels than before, a think tank study shows.

Leave the Leaves! These Invertebrates Depend on It

The availability of nesting and overwintering habitat is one of the most important factors influencing populations of native bees and other beneficial insects. Yet, traditional landscaping practices rarely leave enough natural resources to support pollinators and other wildlife. This guide focuses on a variety of natural nesting habitat features that can be readily incorporated into most landscapes. Compared to artificial nesting options such as bee blocks and bee hotels, natural nesting habitat features often better mimic the natural nest site density of insects, and also break down naturally with time, limiting disease and parasite issues.

Unfortunately, Bluesky is unavailable in Mississippi right now, due to a new state law that requires age verification for all users.

While intended for child safety, we think this law poses broader challenges & creates significant barriers that limit free speech & harm smaller platforms like ours.

To ferment vegetables you really only need several ingredients and minimal equipment. The whole process requires just fresh vegetables, plus water, salt and a glass jar with a lid.

How to Make a Fermentation Chamber The Chamber The first thing you need is the chamber itself—a place to keep your fermenting edibles where they won’t be disturbed. A plastic and foam cooler works very well, because its insulated walls help keep the temperature steady. A big lidded container, such as those made by Cambro or Rubbermaid, also works, especially if you wrap it with an insulating layer. A mini-fridge makes a very nice, very well-insulated compartment. A kitchen cabinet will even work, which is what I’ve done at home.

We made a decision to opt out of traditional American lawn for native plants like this gorgeous black-eyed Susan (slowly migrate over time.) We snow sowed what we could in the in the snow this past January and are starting to see everything fill in and bloom.

The true price tag of trump's parade: Cartoon of trump waving to the passing weapons of death that are labeled: Healthcare fo 15,000,000 Americans, SNAP benefits for hungry families, Social Security... The American flag lays crushed in the street by tanks. We can't afford this president. Fire him.

Just a reminder that enslaved people invented Memorial Day in the aftermath of the Civil War. I wrote about this history and it’s published in TIME MAGAZINE. time.com/3894406/who-...
Who Invented Memorial Day?
As Americans enjoy the holiday weekend, does anyone know how Memorial Day originated?
