🌿 Celebrate National Public Gardens Day with Wild Ones! 🌼
Public gardens do more than beautify our communities - they spark change. By showcasing the ecological power and beauty of native plants, these spaces inspire action, connect people to nature, and shift how we think about landscaping.

there is simply no amount of child death that will move RFK to change his mind because he is a predatory narcissist who cares less about health than the gratification of his own ego
Astonishing RFK Jr interview with NBC. At 23.30 he claims pharmaceuticals are the 3rd leading cause of death in the US [wtf]. He discloses the name & medical history of the 2nd child to die of measles, implies she wasn't healthy & argues about her cause of death. @gorskon.bsky.social
Key takeaways from RFK Jr.'s interview on measles vaccine, food dyes, weight loss drugs and more
Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. spoke with CBS News in an exclusive interview. Here are some highlights.

Texas Gov Greg Abbott, who relies on a wheelchair, banned DEI policies in his state. He is a DEI hire. They should turn off all elevators in the state capitol, the governor’s mansion, remove all ramps for access to his office, and never issue a handicap car tag to him.
