We love food - making, eating, learning, gathering, sharing... We are unhappy with the direction the USA is going and are doing what we can to help those negatively impacted. Kindness = strength 💪 🇺🇦 Do what's good, do what's right. It's that simple.

Request to fellow Dems of all stripes: Let's keep our analyses of primary results positive, recognizing that we're all in this together. I've heard some poisonous stuff behind the scenes recently. It helps no one. A diverse party energized by new ideas, voters & candidates is what we need now.

Tomorrow, the House will vote on the NDAA, which includes a provision to merge parts of our military with the IDF. This amendment is an existential threat to American sovereignty and democracy. Every member of Congress must vote NO.

The advisor to Grand Junction High School’s student newspaper was reassigned less than two weeks after a teacher complained about a student-penned column. "It is ironic that the administration would threaten the one thing that inspired me most as a high school student," said the column's author.

I've flown out of the state twice this year for what were essentially road trips at destination. Out of all 6 states we drove in, our state has the angriest, most aggressive drivers. The level of impatience, entitlement, and pure selfishness is astounding and exceedingly dangerous. 1/2

Courage is more exhilarating than fear, and in the long run, it is easier. We do not have to become heroes overnight. Just a step at a time, meeting each thing that comes up, seeing it is not as dreadful as it appeared, discovering we have the strength to stare it down. ~ Eleanor Roosevelt

OK, so this is going to be tough to hear, but it needs to be said. Now that Trump has been enjoined from sending *any* NG to Oregon, ICE is going to go gangbusters in Oregon, dialing everything up to 1000%. Because they need riots. They need someone punching an ICE officer. DON'T TAKE THE BAIT.

He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers.

He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.

He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.

He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.

He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power.

He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:

For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:

For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:

For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:

For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:

For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury:

For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences:

For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies:

For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:

For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.

He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.
