According to my local food bank, $1 = 2 meals.
So a donation of $25 is 50 meals.
A little can go a long way and you *can* make a difference.

Today, on my walk, I ran into a mother holding her baby - who was maybe 18 months? He seemed fussy but when he looked up at me and saw my smile? His smile went from ear to ear. Made my flipping day.

A historic turning point for clean heating in Europe: For the first time, in the first half of 2025 sales of heat pumps in Germany have surpassed those of gas boilers.
This is a big milestone, demonstrating that the transition away from fossil fuels in our buildings is not just a future ambition.

It’s not that we didn’t want the shutdown to end, it’s the fact that millions of people suffered throughout this shutdown and it was for nothing. That’s the most upsetting part.

Not many people are talking about the children being harmed by #ICELawlessness but it's important to talk about.
What's happening to these kids is being paid for by our tax dollars.
We're paying for the torture of children.
I know this is beyond grim, but we must let people know about this!

It’s amazing and horrifying that many are reporting that T***p “demands” States undo their aid for SNAP.
I know it doesn’t feel like we still live in a free country but the president doesn’t get to demand anything. Don’t needlessly play into his autocratic vibe.

My wife and I pay for life insurance even though we have never died. I pay for fire insurance even though my house has never burned down. That's not because we want to throw money at insurance companies. It's because THAT'S HOW INSURANCE WORKS.
