I assumed Cincinnati’s etymology was from an Indigenous language. But no. “Lucius Quinctius Cincinnatus, a dictator of the early Roman Republic, saved Rome from a crisis and then retired to farming because he did not want to remain in power, becoming a symbol of Roman civic virtue.”

I had the German measles as an infant so I have no recollection. I had the red measles when I was six. I remember that horror vividly. Vaccinate your fucking kids.
How do you feel about the spread of measles

Friends, I understand the urge to unplug from the media, but I never would have known my Rep was funded by “school choice” millionaires if my local newspaper wouldn’t have reported it.

We need folks on the ground covering school board meetings and city council meetings and commissioner reports.

In 1979, Jimmy Carter had solar panels installed at the White House.

Ronald Reagan had them removed.

We may be able to trace back the current "Do Harmful Things if it Trolls the Libs" Republicanism to Reagan removing those panels the far more forward thinking Carter had installed.

As the oligarchy begins to take shape, this meme seems more prescient than ever. They have convinced you that immigrants are your enemy while they pick your pockets at the same time, you’ve been duped. It’s the billionaires who are ruining this country,not migrants. Always has been. #RiseAndResist

David Attenborough is right, “if we continue on our current path, we will face the collapse of everything.” We know what we need to do, it’s the corruption & lies of the fossil fuel companies & our leaders that makes extinction more likely. We need zero emissions within 5yrs!
