I’m in tears that we lost Jane Goodall.
Since childhood, she was my hero: a scientist who listened to nature.
She showed us that science is more than data. It’s empathy, connection, responsibility.
Thank you, Jane. You taught us how to care. 🌿

I am so angry at this bootlicking asskissing group of elected officials doing things to hurt the people.
Republicans tacked the so-called “nonprofit killer” onto the end of their tax proposal. The legislation would give presidential administrations the ability to revoke groups’ nonprofit status by deeming them “terrorist supporting organizations” with virtually no recourse or due process.
