We vastly underestimate the intelligence of small creatures.
Also, your reminder: spiders are your friends. Don't hurt them. If you want them out of your house, capture gently with a glass and slide a paper under the opening. Release them outside.

In the wake of last week's elections can we get a shout out to #Texas voters who cleaned house back in May, voting out school board members who had enacted book bans, removed #LGBTQ+ books from school libraries, and restricted classroom conversations about LGBTQ+ topics? See thread for details:

@amyklobuchar.com and Tina Smith voted no. Grateful that they have done their job to represent the interests of their states.
However, we need new leadership. @schumer.senate.gov has not done his job and is not half as enraged as the voters who let you know last week that they want you to fight.

In case you were on the fence about whether it's time to move away from @democrats.org politicians like @hassan.senate.gov @shaheen.senate.gov and @kaine.senate.gov, consider how enraged you are in this moment. Then consider how untroubled the people bound to represent our interests are.
Reporter: What do you say to your colleagues who say this isn't a fight, this is a capitulation?
Shaheen: We have a guaranteed vote by a guaranteed date…
Reporter: There is no guarantee that this will become law.
Shaheen: There was never a guarantee that it would be become law.

If you haven't called your Democratic senators' offices lately to support their refusal to back down, please do that asap, it only takes a second. Because Democrats care about human beings and Republicans have demonstrated they don't, they are probably wavering right now.

You can’t reboot the planet if you crash it
What Gates is putting forward aren’t legitimate arguments that can be made in good faith. They are shopworn fossil fuel industry talking points.

The Trump Administration has pocked the "17 trillion" in tariffs.
Notice they never bring it up anymore. Farmers are going bankrupt. The government has run out of money. And there's zero sign of the tariff money that he claims he has in hand and that was to lead us to a "golden age."

Our government is spreading lies about vaccines and doesn't care if they kill babies doing it. For the love of god, if you haven't gotten your Tdap in the last 10 years or dont remember, please go get it today. Got mine at a MinuteClinic last year. Easy.

Tip for anyone who cares about public health or their children: print out the AAFP's immunization schedule. They do not endorse the current CDC recommendations. This would be the schedule you'd see if the CDC wasn't under attack by an anti-vax idiot: www.aafp.org/family-physi...

So the same person promoting the mass doxxing site also wrote a self-published book called No Excuses: The Conservative Playbook for Permanent Power and sells it on Etsy. But he also sells birthday cards and I cannot stop laughing.

The complete absence of any human emotion from Donald Trump's post about Charlie Kirk's death has me shook. I know he's a narcissistic sociopath, but it's still unnerving to see a "tribute" that rings so hollow, that still centers self, in a moment like this.

Banksy's latest is of a judge beating a protester with a gavel.
It was washed off within 24 hours.
Would be a shame if this image were reproduced all over the US and UK. Would be a shame if someone stamped this image on the steps of the Supreme Court.

One of my kids has discovered a passion for #streetart and #graffiti. We are preparing to paint the garage so we offered it up as a canvas. Can't wait to see the final product.
