I have had a love of reading all my life. I did not have the best childhood and my escape was books. It was because there was a public library and a school library that I had access to books. I can not imagine a world without libraries.
A tweet by Michael McFaul (@McFaul) that reads: "In 2012, when I was the US ambassador to Russia, Putin shut down USAID inside Russia. Why? Because their work supported free markets, democracy, human rights — ie causes that threatened Putin's dictatorship. Shutting down USAID is exactly what autocrats all over the world want."
Putin is full out celebrating our idiocy.
I did not know this. Thank you for sharing! We are better people when we are informed and when we know the history of things. The next time I see paramedics I will remember there were people who saw a need and stepped in to fill that need.

I'm trying to keep up with this; the party of pro-life has
1) ended cancer research
2) pulled us out of the WHO
3) Frozen communications and updates for the NIH and the CDC
4) raised prescription prices previously capped
5) out of Paris Climate Accords again
6) FDA and HHS gone Dark

So many have not learned them at all.
With pardons, January 6 offenders are now free to possess firearms and ammunition again. Their convictions would have made that a federal crime, but no more.
A book is always a good idea!

Kamala Harris: You inspired us in 2024.
If Vice President Harris inspired YOU like she inspired 74,749,891 Americans, it's worth a solid "all the way re-post!"
Is this true? Super wow!

A post from user @AnnieForTruth, states: "I live in Sweden. We have social security, affordable healthcare, strict gun laws, 5 weeks paid annual leave and a year maternity leave. A stay at the hospital for one night costs about $10. Prescription drugs have an annual cap of $210. We are not communists. We are socio-democratic, and our freedoms are not inhibited."
We, too, could have nice things if we collectively demanded them.
Mine has been up since shortly after the election! It was my way of coping with the results.
