So you’re having these people that are traveling around the world, under extreme stress, going to be around thousands of different people all the time, NOT be protected against a very common/extremely contagious/sometimes deadly/very miserable virus?…🤔🤔

Most corrupt administration in American history….. and that is saying A LOT.

Absolutely not.
Even if they made an in-depth video, it could not/would not portray the beauty and multitude of positive feelings and sensations that this would conjure, if you saw it live.

I would absolutely love to go see this. So so beautiful and amazing and just inspiring in every way.

For those who missed it: this was the moment The Strokes ensured they’ll never be invited back to Coachella again! I'm so proud of them

Before they were arrested- Vets are demanding an end to the war on Iran at the Cannon Building in Washington, D.C.

Meta just paid the lowest effective federal tax rate in its history.

Thanks to tax breaks and loopholes, it avoided $13.7B in 2025 federal income taxes.

But now it's planning to lay off 10% of its global workforce (8,000 people) by May 20 — with more job cuts later this year.

Trickle down hoax.

You can definitely get little domes at Walmart as well, but they are around $11 for only 10 of them. Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to find anything like that for a reasonable price anywhere else.
Reusing anything clear and plastic is an absolutely awesome idea!!

These are exactly what they are, I had bought a 10 pack, maybe 3ish years ago although if I saw this 50 pack, I would’ve probably bought this. These are the only things I’ve ever ordered from Temu, and honestly, they looked cheap, That’s why I put them aside but they work awesome.

Not at all!

They are perfect if you know you’re gonna have 2 or 3 days of frost at night in a row. I’ve had them sitting in my pantry for two years and never thought to try them, and I’m so happy I did! I will probably pick up a few more packages! They came with 10 in a package and they were only $1.50 each

The black plastic bags work OK but if you have a tall seedling or a weird shaped patch of plants, they may weigh them down and possibly damage them. Plus, they are a pain in the ass because you have to keep taking them off every morning.
These clear ones I can leave on all day and they still get sun

These little clear tents saved my tomato babies last night! Unlike the black plastic bags (ran out), I put on everything else.I’m just gonna leave these on because they’re see-through and it’s going to frost again tonight.

Very easy, love that they are clear, totally recommend!

Part of our taxes are supposed to go to supporting 100% of public broadcast radio. It no longer does because the idiots in this administration don’t feel like life-saving weather or emergency notifications for millions are important, and also hate independent journalism.

Such a beautiful bird, with such beautiful, tiny little machetes at the end of their feet.
… seriously, the claws look SHARP.🖤

What an absolute inspiration you are. I am so glad this is one of the first things I’ve seen this morning!
I love hearing stories about amazing humans, and the amazing things humans can do if they have willpower and determination.

May every hike you take bring you immense joy. 🩵

Trying to stay positive and bringing joy to the people around you and your community is the best way to fight back against any regime.
Help your neighbors, strengthen your community, and especially be kind to yourself.
Don’t let their hate and undeserved superiority bring you or your community down.

You really highlight an amazing point. Joy NEEDS to be part of everyone’s resistance.
They want to keep us miserable and angry. They want to keep us divided and hateful. It is a lot easier to manipulate unhappy people. Also people bond quicker through shared anger, creating an echo chamber of misery

ITS ALL A ACT!!!
The only reason Joe even acts like he’s questioning the horrific behaviors of this regime is so he can keep listeners.
When it comes down to it, he will support Trump because he can get favors and money from their relationship.

On one hand, I agree, but on the other hand, I feel so bad for the players. It’s not their fault and they don’t deserve to be punished. I also feel really bad for the fans, now they don’t get to enjoy their favorite game in the world because of our cruel, stupid, and horrific government.

Missouri's murder rate is 73% HIGHER than California’s.

No amount of right-wing spinning can change reality: our state is investing in prevention, enforcement, and is holding criminals accountable.

The U.S. Senator from Missouri should fix his own failed policies before lecturing us.

CLEARLY this dude has something going on, have you seen his eyes, like ever? He makes Steve Buscemi’s eyes look sunken in.

He is too stupid to be a cashier at your local Stop & Shop, he is unbelievably unqualified to be the secretary of defense. I can’t wait until Trump isn’t president and then he gets charged with war crimes with no one to pardon him.

I had a casualty while leaf blowing this morning. Now she will have to live out the rest of her days in my window until next year.
