Kenyan #journalist Alvin Kaunda was reporting live from Nairobi when a curious baby #elephant, Kindani, decided to join the broadcast. The playful elephant stuck her trunk in Alvin's mouth, making for a hilarious moment! A joyful reminder of wildlife's charm and the work of the Sheldrick Trust!

Farm families earn more than non-farm families.
Farm families are wealthier than non-farm families.
If Americans are to pay high tariffs to bring back toaster-making jobs, farmers should bear their share of the sacrifice. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

The same oligarchs who claim they hate government handouts are almost entirely reliant on government handouts themselves. Some would say it is hypocritical. But remember that hypocrisy is merely an expression of power.

The richest man in the world took over $5K out of this guy's bank account, claiming he was dead. The richest man in the world said he was saving money.

I found a ‘dead’ person collecting Social Security in Seattle
“Dead” Ned Johnson turns out to be very much alive. It took him weeks to convince the system he was breathing and to start clawing his benefits back.

CBO Report: To achieve budget goals, GOP must cut Medicare or Medicaid
What are those goals?
-$4.5T in tax cuts for 800 billionaires & a few hundred billion dollar corps, many of whom only currently pay less than 5% tax
That's it. That's the GOP goal. Steal from the poor to fund their rich donors.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general.
If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

taking black kids away from their parents and putting them on farms seems really familiar to me! what could it be?
Even the most disturbing RFK Jr. headline always manages to have a detail inside creepier than you could have imagined. I’m sorry, did you just say Black kids should have a chance to get “re-parented”???? Gift link wapo.st/4hW2xGI

Trump is reportedly looking to shrink the FDIC and consolidate it into other govt agencies.
The FDIC was created during the Depression to protect bank deposits.
This would come after Trump and DOGE shuttered the CFPB, which protects us from financial fraud.
See the pattern?

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
