Don’t cede legal ground until we have to.

Look at the stunning new growth on this Grey Satinash (Syzygium gustavoides, Myrtaceae), a Qld Wet Tropics endemic .

I should have taken the pic when the sun was on it. I'll post a better one tomorrow.

Our first responders showed us what it means to protect and serve during Hurricane Helene. They conducted ground and air operations and swift water rescues to save hundreds of stranded people during the storm – some rescuers risking their own lives to save their neighbors.

It’s a fact. Data from three decades of political violence reveals that right-wing terror attacks outnumber attacks from the left.

And it’s not even close!

Thank you, Norway. That explains why the President of the United States is declaring war on Portland.
