When healthy vegetables and greens are tainted by #PFAS https://www.greenmatters.com/health-and-wellness/pfas-kale - this is far from an isolated issue. Soil, water and air are all polluted. Everything including ourselves, polluted despite efforts to always eat #vegan or #vegetarian, recycle, lower carbon footprint. This is not a reason to abandon good choices - but rather be aware of how plastics are systematically killing us all. https://www.npr.org/2022/06/15/1105222327/epa-drinking-water-chemicals-pfas-pfoa-pfos #DrinkingWater #chemicals #pollution #plastics

Alabama Republicans Send Congressional Map Without Second Majority-Black District to Governor
July 21, 2023
UPDATE: On Friday, July 21, Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey (R) signed the new congressional map into law.
WASHINGTON, D.C. — On Friday, July 21, the Alabama House voted 75-28 to pass a new congressional map without a second majority-Black district in defiance of a federal district court order.
This new plan, called “Livingston Congressional Plan 3,” was passed by a conference committee and the Alabama Senate earlier today, so it will now head to Gov. Kay Ivey (R) for her signature. This plan has a Black Voting Age Population of 39.93% in the state’s 2nd Congressional District and 50.65% in the 7th Congressional District.

This cruel dumb "candidate" has completely
LOST CONTROL of his messaging from inside or outside.
He/his team are too undereducated to identify NAZI symbols.
Or maybe that’s what they stand for.

@skykiss If that amount is accurate, why are we spending this kind of money supporting a one way, Middle East trouble maker who has been on “might make right” track for decades? Is it a mystery why they are not on the best terms with their neighbors? Plus, we can’t mange our own National debt by wasting fortunes sent around the world to Allie’s of marginal value. Sorry if that sounds harsh. A repeat of your link:

So last week our friend B hated Asteroid City, this evening Tom found Indiana Jones “tedious”. I agree that there were way too many car/motorbike/train/tuk tuk/plane chases and there was a heck of a lot of knocking out people with a single punch. Still, it’s good to remind younger viewers that Nazis are actually bad and deserve punching. Overall I found it quite entertaining and would give it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

@JustFrank Sure you do. At the top of the list it makes you feel good, and at the bottom of the list it, it’s good karma that comes back to help you. 🙃
👋 to all of my #trans & #LGTBQ friends. We need to talk about the cis-het progressive/liberal problem, and I hope that you might be able to help me get through to the ones in my life.
I spent a few days with some old friends that I haven't seen in a while. At one point, Jason Aldean and #TransRights both came up in conversation. These people are solid #Democratic voters that hate all things #MAGA. They also happen to be Jewish, which I would think should make them sensitive to #fascism.
They don't watch #FeauxNews or any other right wing bullshit. They do, however, consume #Facebook & #Instagram feeds daily. It was their impression that trans people are forcing other people to use pronouns and make special arrangements for them. They also think that people uncomfortable with trans people should be free to bunk at camp in a cabin without trans people in it.
I 💯% know and believe that #TransRightsAreHumanRights but how can I more effectively pierce their myopic bubble?
🙏 Thanks
You ever read this? Might partially explain how we got here.
