Why can’t all Democrats answer these questions like this? You’ve got all the darn resources in the world to help you communicate effectively.
How to answer a loaded question.

Never thought I’d say this, but we could really use a hard frost in #MN to kill back all these plants. With leaves still greenish, I’m reluctant to cut back my garden too much. Plus carrots convert starch to sugar after the first freeze, so I’m waiting for that before harvest

I wonder how many people who grew up in the 90s are quoting the King Size Homer #Simpsons episode after reading this?

A rancher went all the way to the Supreme Court in his effort to make corner-crossing on the public/private land checkerboards illegal trespassing. He wasted his money. Good. www.wyomingpublicmedia.org/natural-reso...
U.S. Supreme Court denies taking on corner crossing case
That means stepping over private land access public land remains legal in some states, including Wyoming, Utah, Colorado and New Mexico.

Found this fellow staring at me in the bathroom. A house pseudoscorpion that’s smaller than a sesame seed, but apparently deadly to dust mites. Never thought my house would have apex predators (of micro fauna) running around with massive claws. #Nature

Take note of all these people turning out for protests in small towns in red states.
Remember them the next time you’re inclined to write an area off because “they voted for this.”
