I was raised on food stamps. We'd buy LOTS of rice/beans and my mom would buy me a pack of cookies. When I had them, I felt like I was like other kids. The same kids that used to constantly make fun of me for being poor. So...I agree...

let the kids get the cookies.

This man was taken to the hospital after being knocked unconscious and losing all feeling for 40 minutes. ICE threw him to the floor for the crime of "exercising 1st amendment rights." The journalist was taking photos of ICE agents in a public area of a govt building. #ICE

Here is the 1st video of a Klamath River salmon passing the Keno Dam fish ladder in 100+ years. This is another positive sign that the river is on the path to recovery following the removal of 4 dams last year. While much work remains, there is genuine reason for optimism.

Trump describes the area around Alligator Alcatraz as a wasteland of pythons and alligators. But it is a sacred site still used by the Miccosukkee Tribe today. The tribe is suing, claiming the facility's construction threatens ceremonial sites.
