Americans should be ashamed that we’ve NORMALIZED CORRUPTION.

🚨HUGE NEWS: A whistleblower reveals that the Trump administration planned to falsely mark 2.7 million Americans as dead in the Social Security database. Donald Trump views Social Security as a weapon against his enemies, not an earned benefit.

We need to vote for our futures, for the future of our planet, this November.

They found away way around MJ. Interesting.

I’m not surprised. Are you surprised? You shouldn’t be. It’s pay to play with taxpayer dollars in Washington nowadays. #corruption #trump

Papua New Guinea has detailed its plans to protect approximately 200,000 km² of Pacific Ocean waters from fishing and all other destructive human activity. Papua New Guinea sits within the Coral Triangle, the global epicentre of marine biodiversity. oceanographicmagazine.com/news/papua-n...

Texans, vote for James Talarico for senate and Gina Hinojosa for governor!

As President, I would read 10 letters a day sent to me by ordinary Americans. At the Obama Presidential Center, we’ll have some of the letters I read — and responded to — every night. I still get emotional reading them, and it’s one of my favorite exhibits.

$300 billion to Iran for war reparations. 30 billion would have funded helathcare subsidies here.

A friend shared a Psychology Today article, dated February 2021, Rothgerber & Rosenfeld. Meat-related cognitive dissonance (MRCD) = Avoidance, Willful Ignorance, Disassociation. It explains how people can truly believe they love animals and then eat them. The mental gymnastics are a wonder. 1/2

Mixed veggie pizza with 🌱 chick’n. What was your 🌱 dinner last night?

Here’s a thought — Maybe these people don’t deserve to be handsomely rewarded? (From NPR)

A creative bit of art in a park in Ft Lauderdale.

Moon - Venus conjunction. A very cool thing to see the other night.

Cleanse your timeline with a bit of puppy fun.

Easily, the most corrupt president in history:

Turns out, 🤡’s insider trading deals are a 100x more egregious than anyone thought possible. Liz Warren knows for sure. The Repubs are enjoying a good laugh. There’s nothing she can do about it if the Dems don’t win big in November.

Visiting in Florida. Fish sculpture in a brewery made of beer caps. The beer was good too.

Chick’n shreds. Tastes great and nobody died. #vegan

One of the biggest banyan trees in Florida at Flamingo Gardens. This arboretum is also a sanctuary for non releasable animals.

Just a reminder. The general public isn’t as horrible as it appears on social media. The majority of antagonistic commentators are paid trolls. Saw one account this morning that had 40 friends, but had made 29,000 posts. 😳 I’m sure none of them were positive or uplifting.

Fetterman turned coat, a DINO, and made a tidy sum investing in Micron (in his child’s name), a company he oversaw while on a Senate committee. Micron was awarded a $6 billion government deal. Expect more of that if he’s reelected.

Cuttlefish have a stunning ability to mimic ocean plants, changing color and texture in seconds to evade predators and catch prey. Nature’s illusionists at work!

The Voting Rights Act of 1965 was codified by our legislators. The Supreme Court was tasked with its enforcement. Instead, Republican justices weakened it and then dismantled it. They should be removed from the bench for sedition. This is effing outrageous.

Chilling. He understood the trajectory, knew where we were headed.

White House is lying about the recent assassination attempt. On video, Cole Allen ran thru a metal detector with a shotgun. 9 officers were present. One officer fires 4 shots at Allen and hits a SS agent behind him. Allen never fired his gun. The shotgun casing was planted to avoid embarrassment.

TOMORROW: Americans are calling out of work, walking out of school, and refusing to shop on the nationwide day of economic disruption. There are many ways you can get involved on May Day: survey.alchemer.com/s3/8705046/i... Join one of the over 3,000 events planned: www.mobilize.us/mayday/map/?...

Notice how a book can make you gay, a vaccine can make you autistic, a mask can make you sicker, and a poster of the Ten Commandments can make you moral, but guns don’t kill people.

Simple supper of 🌱 Impossible sausage with split peas and butternut squash biscuits. Apple butter really took the biscuits to the next level. Yum #veganfood #vegandinner

To the folks who complain about the lack accountability in our corrupt government: we are living under a fascist regime, Republicans control all 3 branches of our government. How did you think this would end? #nokings

Here’s something pleasant to take your mind off current events.

Again, he’s napping. RFK Jr. looks like he’s going to nod off too.

This was fun. 🌱 Coconut pudding 🥥 and 🌱 chocolate pudding 🍫in a graham cracker crust. Super simple to make and tastes better than a Mounds bar. 😁 #veganfoodie #vegandessert

Cristina Zenato works in the wild with sharks, where she has built a special relationship with a local shiver of Caribbean Reef sharks. Many recognize her and approach her touch. She uses this connection to remove hooks from their mouths. Original post

Beautiful bird to brighten your morning.

It's all just overtly blatant. With their grifting there are NO COINCIDENCES.

They're not even trying to hide it anymore...

Common Tailorbird (Orthotomus sutorius)…avian architects … they use their beaks to sew plant leafs together with plant fibers, spider silk, or insect cocoons…tropical Asia. #birds #nature #wildlife #photo #ecology

No law enforcement officer operating in Connecticut—federal, state, or local—can wear a mask on duty. ICE and CBP agents have to show their faces and badges. And when an officer assaults someone recording them, commits false imprisonment, false arrest, or malicious prosecution, they lose immunity.

This is something I’ve been working on. I’ll be tabling this year at a couple of events. Looking forward to actively promoting book 1 in the Danni Mowrey series before releasing book 2, No Need to Argue, later this year as ebook and paperback. #author #mysterywriter #newengland #vegan
