My grandmother read Rachel Carson's "Silent Spring" in the 1960s & told my mom & I about it.
That book was the catalyst for #EarthDay. First one was in 1970.
Heartbreaking that decades later, oligarchs remain determined to destroy our beautiful planet for money. 😔https://www.earthday.org/history/
You did it #virginia
You did it!
And the do nothing GOP Congress continues to enable their clearly mentally ill leader to the detriment of not only the US, but the world!
When we Christians interpret the Bible with an unforgiving literalism towards our fellow citizens, yet interpret it with graciousness towards our preferred politicians, that's when we can be certain we are just using it to leverage our own power and privilege rather than to actually love others.

Newsmax hosts are praising Joe diGenova's appointment to run the Trump administration's investigations of its political foes, while their Fox News counterparts are pretending it's not happening. What's the deal? www.mediamatters.org/joseph-digen...
“You know, we’ll be tormented by it for a long time. I will be, and I want to say I’m sorry for misleading people, and it was not intentional. That’s all I’ll say.”

Trump's attack on science is undermining American innovation & more importantly, is an attack on Americans' health.
At this point Clarence Thomas should be understood as a Breitbart commenter who happens to have life tenure
Insane corruption.
And if Lutnick is profiting from the end of tariffs you can bet Trump is getting a taste.
Money for everyone but Americans. Meanwhile you get cuts to programs and higher gas prices.
For the love of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and to restore and preserve the freedom our forefathers fought and died for, the War Department will DISCARD AND REJECT the woke prohibition on shitting in our drinking water. AMERICANS SHIT WHERE WE WILL.
Go Van Hollen. If he decided to run for President, he would get my vote. I used to be one of his constituents years ago. He is the real deal.
Sen. Kennedy to Warsh: "My worry is that a lot of this stuff about artificial intelligence making us more productive is a bunch of hype by people who want to sell stock and an IPO. I'd be careful there."
He said horrible things about BLM and George Floyd. He has lied, knowingly, about the election and 1/6. We can’t let him, Rogan, MTG off lightly. They have a penance to serve. For at least a decade.
