Hi, Looking for a like minded community of people. We live about 45 min. S of STL, MO. We are in the middle of a very red area where people vote for hate, racism and misogyny. Would enjoy finding people who are informed & have an interest in making positive changes in the environment & community

I managed to save a few flowering plants from the hard freeze by storing them in the garage. We are now experiencing a warm spell & the honey bees, native bees, and skippers are having a feeding frenzy.

Frost flowers occur when a sudden freeze happens while the ground is still warm and wet, causing plant sap to be drawn up through cracks in the plant's stem, freeze, and expand into delicate, ribbon-like ice structures.

And now, if you read the devastating piece about what Venezuelan deportees endured at the El Salvador torture prison, read what incarcerated U.S. citizens endure in Alabama prisons.
State prisons in the U.S. that are massive systems of human rights violations.

So Broadview is similar to a concentration camp or a torture center. Good job GOP and all who enabled this fuckery.
Her husband told her that detainees at Broadview had to get up at 5am to get in line for one bathroom. He often peed himself. One time he had to wait until 2pm to use the bathroom. You could only use the bathroom once a day. He said the agents would beat you if you used the bathroom on yourself.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.
Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.
Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.
It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.
It’s about priorities.

This #USCitizen was almost #Kidnapped by our government. Our congress has approved 100s of billions of our tax dollars and this is the fruit of our labor. This is what we are trying to resist. The racist republican party is very clearly trying to attack us all.
