There are people who kill or act badly toward others, and there are people who support and save their fellow men, and these are not actions unique to creed or ethnic group.

After months of Anti Muslim HATE, the RW HATE machine has zero interest in fact that the hero who disarmed a Bondi Beach shooter & saved lives was Ahmed al Ahmed, a Muslim. When the facts break the RW narrative, they just pretend it didn’t happen. #Voices4Victory #DemVoice1 #USDemocracy #ProudBlue

There goes Patti Labelle, being absolutely wonderful, again.♥️
Patti LaBelle and her son Zuri Kye Edwards have wiped out more than $667,000 in unpaid school lunch debt, helping thousands of children across the United States. LaBelle called the act “a victory greater than any Grammy,” emphasizing that no child should ever have to learn on an empty stomach.

Avoid washing stored beetroot! Moisture causes rot. 🚫💧 Twisting off the leaves (leaving 1 inch stem) is better than cutting; it prevents the root from "bleeding" out its vital moisture and nutrients, keeping your beets firm and flavourful for longer storage. #BeetrootStorage #GardeningTips
