Jane Goodall was my first childhood hero, as I loved animals as a kid and was inspired by her story. I still remember the National Geographic specials about her. RIP.

I know what we are all fighting against. But what are we fighting *for*? Might I suggest a radical idea that Dems focus on solving people's everyday problems? And might I suggest Dem leaders start talking like they understand how much people are hurting and act accordingly? Radical I know.

The regime keeps working to hurt Americans. Every time there’s a new policy announcement, it not something to help us, it’s something to hurt us. They’re really working at it. Wake up, friends!
NEW: The Agriculture Department has halted millions of dollars worth of deliveries to food banks without explanation, according to food bank leaders in six states. Now Trump and Musk are trying to starve hungry people to death. This is MAGA eugenics. www.politico.com/news/2025/03...
USDA halts millions of dollars worth of deliveries to food banks
The halt in deliveries comes after the Trump administration separately slashed $1 billion for schools and food banks to buy food from farms.

I've been thinking a lot about that bumper sticker which says "everything looks like a conspiracy theory when you don't understand how anything works" and folks it's pretty obvious to me that the people in power right now have absolutely no desire to understand how anything works.
