Every summer my entire area gets this, what my kids and I call, “summer snow.” All the cottonwood trees release their seeds and fill the sky like this. It “snowed” on me while I gardened yesterday and it made me smile when I really needed it. So I thought I’d share the magic 🤍

George Floyd was murdered by police five years ago today.

The Say Their Names cemetery in Minneapolis features memorials for Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Amadou Diallo, Oscar Grant, Korryn Gaines, Freddie Gray and far too many more Black people who died at the hands of police.

Better not call it a “vaccine” or it might not get approved. Maybe market it as a recreational drug.

Funding for Ukraine is “not a charity, it’s a responsibility“ says Ukrainian MP Oleksiy Goncharenko. The U.S. has provided security guarantees for Ukraine since 1994. Now, three years after Russia began its invasion, America’s financial support for the country hangs in the balance. #Velshi
‘We want peace more than anybody else’: Ukrainian MP says security guarantees needed from Russia
Member of Ukrainian Parliament Oleksiy Goncharenko says U.S. support for Ukraine is crucial to supporting a lasting peace, and that much of the funding the Trump administration has been deriding was approved by the U.S. already. "It’s not a charity, it’s a responsibility," says Goncharenko.

Women deserve to know the TRUTH about the impact of Texas' total abortion ban.

When asked if he was going to visit the crash site he said, ‘what site? The water? You want me to go swimming?’ This is one of the last pics of the young skaters who died. He’s a sociopath. Anyone who voted for this monster should be ashamed at best.

Finland is teaching children in school how to recognize fake news and propaganda as part of critical thinking and civic responsibility. Some of this will seem very familiar.

Be. Like. Finland.
