Hi, Looking for a like minded community of people. We live about 45 min. S of STL, MO. We are in the middle of a very red area where people vote for hate, racism and misogyny. Would enjoy finding people who are informed & have an interest in making positive changes in the environment & community

Students are in school during this time of day. The school is right behind the strip mall in the background.
Text reads, "Our high school is right behind this shopping plaza. This is not ok.

ICE has no boundaries.

“I’ve watched men bleed out in the Ardennes for a flag you’re not fit to hold, let alone wrap yourself in. You think bluster is bravery? I led men through hell. You couldn’t march through rain without whining about your hair."

Mums from last year that were labeled annuals. Four of the six returned for a Bonus!
Orange mum blossoms in various stages of blooming.  Unopened buds are small and green. Some flowers have started opening and are a darker orange. Some blooms have rain drops on them. Orange mums in the upper left. Yellow mums down in the foreground.  In the upper right is a butterfly bush with white, fuscia, and purple flower spikes.

Republicans would rather shut down the government than help millions of Americans afford health care. This article tells some of their stories, and is a good reminder of what’s at stake.
These people have found their health care at the center of a shutdown showdown

I respect sincere and loving Christians who truly keep the faith. But when it is used as a rallying cry for political purposes, this is what happens. It's time for the followers of Jesus to speak against these atrocities or be branded with the same iron.

Hi Shine, Yes, I am fed up up with the legislators in MO as well. I worked hard to collect signatures for Amendment 3, and to watch them block and try overturn the will of the voters is maddening. I'm sorry they are trying to take away your voice and hope Marc Elias is successful in his case.
