Are your community’s grass field’s poor conditions being blamed on overuse?

Professionals like Field Source can identify the actual root causes.

Grass isn’t the problem. Plastic isn’t the solution.

Increase carrying capacity with better grass field construction & management.

PRETEXT: Crime in blue states with Dem governors and mayors is nothing more than a pretext for Trump to send in the military to normalize what he intends to do if his efforts to rig the midterms fail and his refusal to leave office is thwarted.

[Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse]

What's up with Justice Jackson? She started making her mark and speaking out early, and some of her dissents are so pointed Kagan and Sotomayor don’t even join them. The far right is out for her, and even Republican justices are getting snarky.

So what's up? Here’s my take 🧵

[Ban Plastic Turf @BanPlasticTurf]

What logic do U.S. schools & cities cite to justify continuing to install crumb rubber infilled artificial turfs given the fact that, due to concerns over human exposure to the microplastic pollution, the European Union enacted a ban on this is 2023??

@elonmusk Would you hire the folks around this table to be top execs in one of your companies? If so, what role would they be qualified for? What have they accomplished that would illustrate their skill set? Would they have the respect of their co-workers?

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

That was a such a fun night!

I have to say that the team @realDonaldTrump is assembling for this administration is very strong. The vibe is good.

The next time someone tells you how Palestinians have never had viable options for peace, show them this statement from former US President @BillClinton:

“And the only time Yasser Arafat didn't tell me the truth was when he promised me he was gonna accept the peace deal that we had worked out, which would have given the Palestinians a state on 96% of the West Bank and 4% of Israel, and they got to choose where the 4% of Israel was. So they would have the effect of the same land of all the West Bank. They would have a capital in East Jerusalem.

I can hardly talk about this…. And they would have equal access all day every day to the security towers that Israel maintained all through the West Bank up to the Golan Heights.

All this was offered, including, I will say it again, a capital in East Jerusalem and 2 of the 4 quadrants of the old city of Jerusalem, confirmed by the Israeli prime minister, Ehud Barak, and his cabinet. And they said no.

And I think part of it is that Hamas did not care about a homeland for the Palestinians. They wanted to kill Israelis and make Israel uninhabitable.

Well, I got news for them, they (the Jews) were there first before there their faith (Islam) existed. They were there. In the time of King David, in the southern most tribes, Hadjardia and Samaria.”

Kamala Harris cited remarks by John Kelly, Donald Trump’s former White House chief of staff, who told The New York Times that the former president meets the definition of a “fascist.” Follow along for the latest on the presidential race. https://t.co/NK7qaJRidS

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

Donald Trump will be mad if you retweet this video that's going viral right now following Kamala Harris's decision to go on Fox News to be interviewed by Bret Baier.

I scored 20/20 on MIST-20, better than 96% of the US population. Test your misinformation susceptibility now! What is #YourMIST? 🧐 https://t.co/dY6Ujayv1t #misinformation #fakenews

@Rainmaker1973 30 years ago the escalators at Narita Airport were designed to allow the airport's free luggage carts to use the escalators. Super convenient.

@Wildaboutmusic Just saw you have a podcast with Lake Street Dive. I was at their show in Portland, Maine last night. Fantastic performance! First time seeing them. I look forward to listening to your episode.

Here's *my* Project 2025: have an Administration that:
1) cleans up #EPA and puts #PFAS contamination on the front burner;
2) realizes that #ClimateChange is a symptom of #EcologicalOverreach and acts accordingly; and
3) finally tackles Covid because #CovidIsNotOver.

@NASAMars @NASAPersevere August 17, please.

That's enough negativity for today.

Let me know if you want more tomorrow.

[Eric Weiner @eweiner]

There will be a lot of negativity thrown at Vice President Harris in the coming days.

Here are my negative statements about her:

1) She is not a convicted felon.
2) She is not an adjudicated rapist.
3) She did not try to overthrow an election.

[Eric Weiner @eweiner]

4) She did not encourage a mob that wanted to hang a vice president.
5) She is not barred from serving as an officer of a charity because she stole from donors.
6) She did not have a fake university bearing her name shut down because it was a fraud.

[Ben Jones @BW_Jones]

This will be the first Presidential election since 1976 to not have a Biden, Bush, or Clinton on the ticket.

[George Conway ⚖️🇺🇸 @gtconway3d]

I’m pleased to announce the launch of the Anti-Psychopath Political Action Committee.

Because it’s time to start talking about what should be the number one issue in the 2024 presidential election.

Join the conversation at @PsychoPAC24 and at https://t.co/7Jw8lgMa2q.

A racist, rapist, xenophobic, traitorous sexual predator, felon and wannabe dictator who bragged about grabbing women by the pussy, mocked a disabled reporter, golfed through a pandemic, allegedly forced minors to have lesbian sex, said he’d date his own daughter and incited an attack on our soil in order to remain in the job we kicked him out of, is now sitting back watching us implode because while he lied loudly for 90 min straight, our guy told the truth too slowly, so now all we’re talking about is why that’s disqualifying and not why the sociopath who said he could shoot someone in the middle of 5th Avenue shouldn’t be handed the office the Christofascist wing of the Supreme Court has just ruled could in fact, be used to shoot someone in the middle of 5th Avenue.

Can we please get some f’ng perspective.
