It has taken over five years of murderous chaos for Republican voters to start to see what was obvious all along: that Donald Trump should not be trusted with a box of matches, let alone the most powerful office on Earth. That's the power of propaganda for you.
That's the sort of thing that caused me to leave FB for something much better. That and the fact that Meta encourages and accepts advertisements from frauds and scam artists.
Estimates show the 1918 flu epidemic killed about 45,000 US soldiers, about 38% of the total US military deaths in WWI. The flu and its secondary illnesses made up the majority of death by disease. Thousands (possibly as many as 36,000) died before making it from basic training to the battlefield.

A delicate white trillium flower with three petals and a yellow center blooms in the foreground of an old-growth forest. The plant has three broad green leaves beneath the flower. Towering fir trees with thick reddish-brown bark and abundant green moss growth surround the wildflower. The forest floor is rich with organic matter, and delicate fern fronds can be seen both in the immediate foreground and higher up on the tree trunks.

A trillium unfurls beneath an ancient tree. Its delicate petals echo the quiet strength of the forest that cradles it. 🌿

Are they expected to eat that?
Time for the strait jacket and zip ties. No other modern, civilized nation would tolerate this rubbish!

I am reading this book. I have read many books, articles and essays by other climate scientists. Some have challenged, others have terrified me, and sent me diving into more science reports and findings. This book is the first one that is striking me in my soul, and I find myself saying ..
