Please refrain from bleaching your #pumpkins to extend their lifespan. Although this tip is trending on social media this season, it can be harmful to #wildlife.
Pumpkins serve as a #food source for many animals—deer, squirrels, raccoons, possums, mice, rats, chipmunks, birds, and even insects.

Every state with a Democratic legislature and Democratic governor could do this right now — they wouldn’t even need to do a ballot initiative. They could do it RIGHT NOW — so please pass it on and spread the word 👇

This is the best political news I’ve seen in a very long time — so please pass it on👇

Each state can limit Citizens United in their own state & they don’t have to wait for other states to do it.
