Something we should do away with in the #NewYear? Blood-thinning rat poisons!
In a new 2024 statewide survey released by the CA Dept. of Fish & Wildlife, the powerful anticoagulant #rodenticides were found in the bodies of 95% of mountain lions and 69% of nontarget wildlife tested.

Sounds like an attempt at regime change no?
Protests rocked Tehran today as the the rial hit a catastrophic low. I urge everyone to remember that every time something big has happened in modern Iranian history since the 1890s, the bazari class played a pivotal role. Please pray for the people of Iran, for their safety, and for their freedom.

It’s not our duty to just smile and nod when a man with this much power demonstrates that he’s a pathological liar and an imbecile. Quite the contrary. Real patriots say out loud this is just plain nuts and he’s unfit to hold office.
Trump: "It's funny, I settled 8 wars. Some were going on for 35 years. And we got them settled in a couple of days. Some of them -- one was going on for 37 years. I settled it in one day. But this is a very complex one."

This isn’t easy to write. But it’s real. And it’s my life.
My name is Sakher, and I never imagined I’d have to ask for help like this again. I’ve fought so hard, for so long — but I’m tired. I’m holding on with everything I’ve got, but I’m reaching my limit.
