The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.
If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

One of the most valuable ways to support pollinators and other invertebrates is to provide them with the shelter they need to survive the winter. Thankfully, all you need to do is do less yard work.

Trump: “We took the freedom of speech away…”
"We took the freedom of speech away..." needs to be blasted across the nation.
Trump: "We took the freedom of speech away because that's been through the courts and the courts said you have freedom of speech, but what has happened is when they burn a flag it agitates and irritates crowds."

Then shut up until you have that attorney present. You cannot invoke your right to silence just by being silent. You have to say the words.

Their plan is to rehabilitate and then pardon an adjudicated habitual sex assaulter and human trafficker as a character witness for a different habitual sex assaulted who methodically defames his victims. No judge or jury would find either of them credible, and neither should anyone else.

You aren’t imagining it. The air is thicker. We did this to ourselves

Ever wonder where the tomato on your #July4th burger comes from? These Central Valley tomato harvesters spend hours bent over under the sun harvesting. On an average they lift around 170 buckets a day. Each bucket weighs 25 lbs. It’s exhausting, physical labor. #WeFeedYou
