Now that the Assad regime has fallen, it might be a good time for Senators to ask Tulsi Gabbard why she went on an unsanctioned trip to meet with Assad and proceeded to say he isn’t an enemy of the United States.

CANADIAN Version of this series would have been boring. Man gets cancer... Man goes to Dr. because they have universal healthcare. The End.

Easy like Sunday morning, right? Recovery’s not about being perfect—it’s about showing up. Take today to reset, refocus, and keep going, one step, one meal at a time. You’re stronger than you think.

The holidays target food addiction recovery with diet culture’s false promises of weight loss. Vulnerable populations deserve better—healing isn’t in shrinking bodies but in breaking free from toxic cycles. Let’s reject shame and embrace true recovery. #FoodAddiction #DietCultureLies

And this part really gets me. We have evidence gathered by scientists that the way to end homelessness... is by providing homes. The way to end poverty... is by providing money.

But in America, our national myth tells us that everybody must earn anything, with no room for grace.

“Hunter-gatherer” doesn’t actually describe how most civilizations related to production. “Hunter-gatherers” engaged in millennia of selective plant breeding & advanced landscape stewardship, which created wildly productive perennial gardens & managed hunting grounds www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
