Unique to America, our health care system is designed not to make people well, but to make CEOs & wealthy stockholders incredibly rich. The result: We have the highest infant mortality rate of any wealthy country on earth. How cruel, how immoral is that? We need Medicare for All.

Tachardiella larreae, the Creosote Lac scale insect secretes this gooey waxy substance by tapping into creosote vascular tissue. The secretions have been used by desert indigenous peoples in the American Southwest for centuries to seal baskets, join arrowheads etc.

Trump thinks anyone protesting must be from another country when the right and will to protest our own government is a foundational American value.

“Cynicism is our Enemy” well said!
I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.
Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

I’m interested in plant Phenology- the timing of when plants flower and/or get pollinated, make fruit/seeds. With climate change, will plants flower at the right time when their traditional pollinators are active, or have cycles been disrupted by human-induced climate change??
