COMMENTARY: The West Coast is experiencing horrific wildfires, and the mid-Atlantic is recovering from back-to-back winter storms. These “natural” disasters put our communities at extreme risk and are a result of climate change, writes Morgan King.

Driving through a work zone today, I was pondering the “Be Prepared to Stop” signs that line work zones. Shouldn’t we ALWAYS be prepared to stop? Isn’t that kind of our job when driving??

Or donate to The Carter Center. But try everyday to be a Jimmy Carter because we have way too many DJTs.
There are many wonderful tributes from around the world, to the great President Jimmy Carter.
In a world of Donald Trumps, be a Jimmy Carter.
In his honor, donate to your local Habitat for Humanity and do one good deed today, for another.

We posted this just an hour before it was announced that Jimmy Carter passed. 🕊️

In his memory, we share one of his most profound messages:

“The measure of a society is found in how they treat their weakest and most helpless citizens.”

Interested to hear how the GOP is planning to spin not voting for funding for extending disaster relief right before Christmas at the behest of an ultra-rich megalomaniac. Scrooge is so proud of all the good work they are managing already.

Although I do not condone violence, I understand the impulse and we REALLY need to fix this system. People die WITH HEALTH INSURANCE in the richest nation on the planet simply because we have folks who profit when they deny care even when it should be covered.

If I were a for-profit health insurer announcing a shockingly ghoulish cost-cutting measure I would simply not do it on a day when the CEO of another for-profit health insurer was gunned down in broad daylight and people went “lol nice”

First post on Bluesky and I want to be totally positive so here is the big ole bears head / lion’s mane mushroom I found this weekend. Did not take all of her so she could continue her life cycle and spread some spore but less than half of her was 2 pounds of mushroom!
