Yeah, therapy is great and all, but have you felt the inner peace after pairing up a big pile of socks without a straggler?

What you're seeing at the U.S. Capitol isn't anarchy.

It's a violent attempt by domestic terrorists at overthrowing representative democracy in favor of racist authoritarianism.

Hey farmer friends, Watch for these signs of exhaustion and give yourself the attention (or nap 😴) you’ve earned! Thanks @SowHopeGrowHope

[Kate @katerdownes]

It’s a sign of the times. Farmers make more money on social media than actually farming. https://t.co/GHxliBRRxu via @business

”But it’s not enough to count on farmers to tough it out. America needs to start listening to the voices of the heartland....It is about recognizing our shared destiny. It is about remembering that agriculture is the bedrock of our economy and security.” https://t.co/iGvLUltu8A
