Hi, Looking for a like minded community of people. We live about 45 min. S of STL, MO. We are in the middle of a very red area where people vote for hate, racism and misogyny. Would enjoy finding people who are informed & have an interest in making positive changes in the environment & community

You were just a few feet from me. You got my husband in the shot, and my sign. Small world.

#NoKings
This was the No Kings rally in South STL. Organizers said there were in excess of 3,000 despite the pouring rain. All was peaceful. Only one incidence of 2 tRumpers (teenagers) who were escorted away from the crowd.

Yes, it is a good recommendation. We had foamboard, and it disintegrated. This time, we bought plastic ones similar to a yard sign.

The Reich had time enough to write Project 2025 & lay the groundwork, but still no Healthcare plan.
This has been the longest "2 weeks" of my life.

# butterfly
A Great Spangled fritillary (looking quite tattered) resting on the sunny grass. If you look closely at the head, you can see the proboscis flick in & out. I think it was drinking the dew on the lawn.

Read about the Insurrection Act, be informed..

The Insurrection Act Explained
The law, which lets the president deploy the military domestically and use it for civilian law enforcement, is dangerously vague and in urgent need of reform.

Students are in school during this time of day. The school is right behind the strip mall in the background.
Text reads, "Our high school is right behind this shopping plaza. This is not ok. Screen shot of ICE agents with weapons drawn. ICE sightings Cicero/ Ber.

ICE has no boundaries.
Armed, masked men in camouflage that are part of ICE are pepper spraying the pastor of the First Presbyterian church in Chicago during a protest.

Mums from last year that were labeled annuals. Four of the six returned for a Bonus!
Orange mum blossoms in various stages of blooming. Unopened buds are small and green. Some flowers have started opening and are a darker orange. Some blooms have rain drops on them. Orange mums in the upper left. Yellow mums down in the foreground. In the upper right is a butterfly bush with white, fuscia, and purple flower spikes.

When a lapse in funding occurs, the law requires agencies to cease activity and furlough their “non-excepted” employees. Excepted employees include those who perform work to protect life and property. https://to.pbs.org/3VCoMbO
