In Minneapolis, Minnesota, the pollen season is now a month longer than it was in 1970. 🤧

CALL YOUR REPRESENTATIVE. FCC LAW says that a company cannot own more that 39 percent of a television network. THE TEGNA/NEXTSTAR merger will give NEXSTAR 80% of the households in the USA. THIS IS MONOPOLY and it's ILLEGAL. www.thewrap.com/nexstar-tegn...

Good options: *BBC News / BBC World Service *Deutsche Welle (DW News) *France 24 *Al Jazeera *The Associated Press (although U.S.-based...it operates globally and is widely regarded as a fact/reporting wire service more than opinion.) *Radio Free Europe / Radio Liberty *CBC News (Canada)

Caught these photos’s of a hummingbird moth in my petunias.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion. The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion. Our problem isn't a lack of resources. Our problem is ever-expanding inequality.

David Letterman is right: you can't appease a tyrant.

If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations. If you're 45, that number is 74.7%. If you're under 28, the number is 100%. Happy Labor Day.

Look at this graph. The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened. This is why we must build back union power.

Welch: As someone who lives in a red state, let me just tell you what MAGA supermajorities get you. We're 50th in education. The worst in the whole country for women to live. We're poorer, worst health care. And if you look at the bottom ten states, they are all MAGA supermajorities.

A view from the outside. Definitely worth a listen.

Walz: "It boggles my damn mind that in the midst of a military takeover of our cities, the flaunting of the rule of law, that the press finds the need to talk about, 'Oh, there's a division in the Dem Party.' There's a division in my damn house & we're still married and things are good. That's life"

Pritzker: To the members of the press who are assembled here today and listening across the country, I am asking for your courage to tell it like it is. This is not a time to pretend here that there are two sides to this story.

I do have a pro tip for anyone with small kids who still wants your kids to talk to you when they're older. Choose your battles. Not everything is a Teaching Moment. Be chill and don't freak out when they tell you things. Let them figure out answers themselves when possible. More 👇

I miss the way your laugh would ripple through the air, shaking loose the dust in my heart. It didn’t matter if you were laughing with me or laughing at me; either way, it meant you were here. #vss365 #poetry #laugh

So sick of Ford selling off Ontario to his development pals. Can't help but wonder how much he personally will gain from this....

Heartwarming moment baby turtle is rescued from a ghost net….. Thank you for rescuing the little beautiful creature…. 🐢 🥹🥰

I did this 3 months ago. Just went to a community health centre (probably could have called), made an appointment, spoke to a PHN for 5 minutes explained I didn't know if I had 1 or 2 and got it. Entirely free & easy.

"Think of a government that would command your respect, and it will be the first steps toward obtaining one." Henry David Thoreau.

Always follow the money.

Took our little #beagle girl Ruby for a #swim. She had fun at the lake playing with the big dogs. She was not too sure about the water.

One of my favourite poems!

@mark-carney.bsky.social To fund projects in #Canada tax the rich. They do not contribute enough to this country. Close the tax loop holes they take advantage of, as the former G. of the Bank of Canada you know what they are. Make sure all the hurt of cost saving does not fall on the working class.

This week we celebrated my beautiful mother’s 95th Birthday. She had a wonderful time. Most of the family was able to get together for the party❤️ #Grateful

ALERT! ALERT! ALERT!

Figures👇🏻

It remains an enormous flag, and as an added wrinkle, #Bluejays players, coaches and staff went out to hold the flag along with members of the Canadian military. Very nice gesture, one they’ve never done before. #TrueNorthStrongAndFree #HappyCanadaDay

Canada, Denmark and Sweden have been named among the most progressive and inclusive countries in the world.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.” It costs a lot less to house people.

The rich have never been richer. Meanwhile, many Americans are struggling to get by. What are Trump and Republicans doing about it? Passing more tax cuts predominantly for the wealthy while making devastating cuts to the social safety net.

Thirteen Premiers and the Prime Minister all united, all in agreement, all putting Canada first, all with great ideas to set Canada on an ambitious future. I don't think I've ever seen this. Bravo, well done👏 🇨🇦 As an aside, Poilievre must really hate this. And he'll be all alone in opposing it.

Underneath the milky way in Central #Oregon this week! This was my first attempt using the starry night setting on my OMD EM1 Olympus camera. So much more to learn! #BlueSkyArtShow Theme #underneath #EastCoastKin #Photography #OMSystem #StarryNight

My youngest son has been at my place the last few wks working on projects for me. He has helped with the gazebo construction, put garden furniture together, done some cement work, hauled stuff to the dump and helped around the place. I am so fortunate with my kids and step-kids always helping.

I think our #Canada Governor General Mary Simon is a classy woman! I admire her greatly, she brings great honour to our country. www.gg.ca/en/governor-...

What an incredible story!
