Trump’s new tariffs violate WTO rules, sparking global backlash. 🚨 His “national security” excuse doesn’t hold up, as China, Canada, and Mexico prepare legal action. These reckless trade wars hurt U.S. businesses, raise prices, and weaken America’s global standing. 🇺🇸💸 #TradeFail #WTOViolation

An exciting insight into the boyhood of my maternal grandfather whom I met once when he visited our home on Perkins Lane in Seattle. He sat on a black folding chair with yellow seat cushion and back rest. But at age 4 or 5 I don’t remember much else about him. #ancestry #genealogy #familyhistory

Stephen King, master of the horror novel, just quit Twitter because it'd become too "dark." That's how horrifying Twitter is right now. There may never be a more perfect expression of this fact.

Today’s tip is about being proactive. Remember that there’s a lesser influence by algorithms here, what you share, others *will* see. So, liking a post doesn’t put it in other people’s timelines. If you want them to see it you, *need* to repost. Quote post or repost, your choice, just use it. 😀🔃💬
