Hey everyone! I just learned that Muricans have a version of thanksgiving too.
They do it six weeks late and in the middle of the week. Weird.
I wonder if it’s anything like real thanksgiving?

Forests are more than just wood and are important for the water balance. The groundwater beneath a forest is clean, oxygen-rich and excellent for producing drinking water. That is why forests are particularly often also water protection areas. 💚🌿☘️🌱🌲🌳🍀💚

We have a bit of a natural experiment here. Compare the tone, quantity and duration of Charlie Kirk coverage with that of the two Dem lawmakers gunned down in their homes in Minnesota 6 months ago. May be revealing.

Finally a corporation is reacting to what’s happening here. Don’t be surprised that it’s not a car company or a shampoo brand. They’re all still pretending that life is normal.

The governor of Maine is here on the east coast trying to woo Canadians back. We didn't stop coming because of a bad PR problem. Trump is literally insane and had threatened our country over and over with annexation and has also gone after our ally Greenland (we share the longest maritime border).
