My garden Bleeding Heart plant (Dicentra spectabilis). This is an old fashioned perennial with a bushy shape that blooms in Spring and early Summer. I love the dangling heart shaped flowers, and so do hummingbirds!💕🙂

My aunt, the doctor, told me a new joke. She asked: Why don’t you hear about millennials having midlife crises? I said I did not know. So my aunt replied: Because their adult lives have just been one crisis after another. And then neither of us laughed.

Local journalism matters. After KYUK, ProPublica and NPR documented a severe health and safety crisis inside Alaska schools, lawmakers approved $148 million for repairs.

Alaska’s Deteriorating Schools Could Receive More Than $148 Million for Repairs. It’s a Fraction of What They Need.
Following reporting by KYUK, ProPublica and NPR, lawmakers tripled the funding the state would allocate toward school construction and maintenance. The budget increase would still only cover about 13%...

Social Security has a 0.000625% fraud rate– far lower than private insurance plans. But if Trump wants to help billionaires steal our earned benefits, then he needs us to believe his LIE that our Social Security system is beyond repair.

Trump's steady stream of lies about Social Security is a part of a long-term plan to dismantle trust in the system we've built our entire working lives. Why? To trick us into handing over our earned benefits to Wall Street CEOs, billionaires, and the Epstein class.

At his fake cabinet meeting, Trump just repeated his lie that millions of dead 150-year olds are fraudulently receiving & cashing Social Security checks. Once again, he couldn’t point to a single example BECAUSE IT DOESN’T HAPPEN. They’re trying to wreck Social Security so they can rob it.

29 May 1941: Disney animators strike
On this day, 29 May 1941, animators for Disney in Los Angeles walked out on strike when 16 union cartoonists were fired for demanding union recognition, including Goofy creator Art Babbitt. Disney workers held a mass meeting the previous day where an assistant to Babbitt put forward a motion to strike, which was approved. On May 29, hundreds of men and women set up picket lines outside Disney studios and set up a protest camp in a field across the road. The majority of cartoonists, including non-union members, respected the strike. Warner Bros cartoonists also marched over to Disney at one point dressed as French revolutionaries from 1789. Union chefs from nearby restaurants also showed solidarity with the strike by cooking for pickets before and after work. One day rumours circulated that hired thugs were going to attack the strikers, so mechanics from Burbank airport armed themselves with wrenches and went to guard the strikers' camp. Walt Disney drove across the picket line every day, and on one occasion got out of his car to try to attack Babbitt. Eventually, after five weeks, the strike was settled by mediators who ruled in favour of the union on every issue, and the workers received pay increases of nearly 50% in many cases. Babbitt also won his job back following a lawsuit. Walt Disney was bitter about his defeat until he died (lol).

28 May 1936: Popular Front strike wave
On this day, 28 May 1936, 32,000 workers occupied the Renault plant in Paris. 100,000 more workers soon occupied every major engineering factory around the city. Over the following month a strike wave swept the whole country from the factories to non-unionised shops, involving 2 million workers in 12,000 strikes and occupations. To stop the upheaval, employers and the government had to agree wage increases of 7-15%, a 40 hour working week, paid holidays and collective bargaining rights.
