A #crab in a fish tank discovered the air pump… and turned it into a personal jacuzzi. Crabs are curious creatures and often interact with their environment in surprisingly playful ways.

What I learned as an environmental activist is that we played our role, but it is the Environmental lawyers that do the most essential work. www.opb.org/article/2025...

I think the remarkable thing about Cory Booker's speech is that much of it is *a good speech*. He's not just filling time, he's using time while the spotlights on him.

I have been hearing from people that they have been having issues accessing their Social Security accounts. INSTEAD of going to a branch which may be hundreds or 1Ks+ of miles away from you, call your members of Congress. They have constituent services that will help you regain access. Please share!

"They have borrowed directly from Nazi sources to make the very same points that the Nazis were making. They understand very well that the way to establish a form of government that is not bound by law or reason is to declare a state of emergency."

I stopped on my walk to tell a postman, "Thank you!" and you should have seen his reaction! He looked at me and said it's been so stressful and that he and his wife quit buying non-essential things. He is so worried about everything. So check in on your postmen.
