The tiny town of Bow Mar has approved plans to gate off its public streets from outsiders. And it’s not the first time this town has tried to keep everyone else out.

Denver and Littleton are now threatening to install their own barriers. @nexton9news

“I think we're more than pissed. We're ready to come out with our pitchforks,” three-time Olympian Hannah Teter told Mother Jones’ Nate Halverson. “How the heck did they get this approved?”

Snowboarder Hannah Teter, who won gold in the halfpipe at the 2006 Winter Olympics in Torino, Italy, and silver at the 2010 games in Vancouver, has voiced her opposition on Instagram, where she has 275,000 followers, as well as on her Facebook page.

Public uproar has echoed across the Tahoe area since April, when our yearlong Mother Jones investigation revealed that, in California, the fastest-growing use of glyphosate—the main ingredient in Roundup—is to spray forested areas, including this massive new US Forest Service project around Lake Tahoe.

"When I first saw the article that it's coming to Tahoe, my heart sank and I actually prayed like, God, how do we fight this? It's so worrisome because like I do care about nature. From the animals to the insects to the trees, it has us in the community, up in arms," Teter told Nate.

People in Tahoe, worried about glyphosate's potential health and environmental harms, have begun organizing to slow or stop the Forest Service’s plan. That effort includes Kelly Ryerson—Glyphosate Girl on Instagram—an influential voice who visited the White House earlier this year with other members of the MAHA coalition to urge President Trump to call off his support of the controversial herbicide.

Delta Dental CEO Laura Czelada under fire for her $48 million dollar salary in 4 years time. She’s running a nonprofit 501c3 getting paid $15 million dollars a year for a company that processes 95% of all claims by computer. No real person even looks at your claim. How can she justify this salary? No increase in dental pay for doctors in 15 years! Should nonprofit organizations pay their leaders $15 million a year?

“AND YOU STILL DARE TO OPEN YOUR MOUTH…”

Sasha Legerman: This is too accurate not to share.

This Australian’s response to Trump’s rant that “NATO does nothing for America” is absolutely devastating:

“Mate. You run a country where 600,000 homeless people will sleep on the streets tonight.

A country where 40% of adults can’t cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money.

A country where insulin costs more than a car payment, and people ration it just to stay alive.

A country where medical debt is the number one cause of bankruptcy.

A country where women die in hospital parking lots because doctors are too afraid of abortion laws to treat miscarriages.

You imprison more of your own citizens than any country on Earth.
More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea.

In the land of the free, 2 million people sit in cages, and a quarter of them haven’t even been convicted of anything.
They’re simply too poor to afford bail.

Your life expectancy is declining. You’re the only developed nation where that’s happening.

Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba’s.

Your children practice active shooter drills between math and English classes while you sell defense stocks to your friends.

Your minimum wage hasn’t changed in 15 years.

Your teachers work two jobs, your veterans sleep under bridges, and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that never attacked you.

And now a convicted criminal — found liable for sexual abuse, defending a pedophile, sleeping with a porn star, and running the biggest dumpster-fire campaign since the Taliban — is thanking you for yet another disaster.

And you call Greenland badly governed?

Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world.
Nobody there goes bankrupt because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because insurance refused treatment.

‘NATO wasn’t there when we needed them.’

When exactly was that, champ?
September 11?

Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU.

Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU.

Australia wasn’t even in NATO, and we still showed up. For twenty years.

And then you left at 2 a.m. without telling anyone and left everybody else to clean up the mess.

You don’t care that a great nation is being terrorized by your friend, and you haven’t shown it a single ounce of sympathy.

So maybe before calling other countries badly governed, take a look at your own backyard, you aluminum siding salesman with a spray tan.

The only thing badly managed in this picture is your damn mouth.

And you still dare to lecture the rest of the world?”

Only in Monroe: Stephen Colbert talking about Jeff Daniels tortilla and peanut butter, Ruffles potato chips, and Sweet Baby Ray’s barbecue sauce like it��s a five-star meal. 😂

And honestly… that’s exactly why it went viral.
