Don’t know why the .net link showed up but the .org link works. You enter your zip code and it will let you know some of the most beneficial native plants. I think Doug Tallamy helped set it up.

Yes. And we have to talk about this now, because talking about it is the first step to making it seem like a callous crime rather than a surprising emergency.

Paperback edition of There Is No Place for Us: Working and Homeless in America by Brian Goldstone

Paperback edition of There Is No Place for Us: Working and Homeless in America by Brian Goldstone

Today the paperback of THERE IS NO PLACE FOR US is out.

It's arriving in a country once again waging warβ€”a country that can spend tens of billions on bombs without blinking, while millions of Americans are one missed paycheck, one rent hike away from homelessness.

Let's take stock of where we are.

This is a fantastic and eye-opening book. Thanks so much for writing it. I wish everyone would read it.

If you don't want to show emotion, it helps to have a plastic face.

I agree that it will have a bigger impact on Republican women, I just hope that would be enough to counter suppression of women voters in general in terms of outcomes.

Yes, but women overall vote more to the left than men do, so suppressing women’s votes in general is probably helpful to MAGA.
