100 per cent I hope so.
It is the least we can do to begin to assuage the trauma of our teachers and children.

Mikhail Gorbachev was a visionary leader.
The refusal of the U.S. to help Russia when the Soviet Union collapsed was typical of America's arrogance and lack of visionary foreign policy.
If we had helped Gorbachev then, Russia's path would probably have not been toward a Putin.

This is insane.
And damn right it’s fascistic.
Deep in the heart of #Texas.
Law now says the attorney general “shall” seek a civil penalty of not less than $100,000, plus attorney’s fees and up to life in prison for any person who performs an #abortion in the state.

What would concern me is, in what other ways will they be limiting my child’s free expression to align with their narrowminded rules?
And I sure would ask him where it says that in the Bible.

Pretty much.
$284,158,644 — that's how much the Oil & Gas industry has "donated" to members of Congress over the last 20 years so they can continue destroying our planet for profit.
If we don't end the fossil fuel industry, it will end us.

Dangerous pesticides should not even exist.
Pesticide labels are designed to help prevent dangerous exposure, but the EPA doesn’t ensure most farmworkers can read them—an oversight that has serious implications for their health, and the environment. buff.ly/3Kzsw7I

Think what it took to organize in over 350 restaurants.
Kudos to those who worked so hard to make this happen.
BREAKING: After workers organize strikes at over 350 restaurants across the state, California’s State Senate has passed #AB257
Today is a watershed moment in the history of the labor movement; 550,000 fast food workers in CA will soon have a seat at the table with our employers
