@EveForster I know people who have to drive over an hour to the nearest large grocery store with decent enough prices that they can stock up. People without electricity to keep fresh foods. Making a generalization about two very different countries is useless.
Donald Trump was found guilty of 34 charges but won't face any punishment — and will be back in the White House this month.
800 prisoners are now helping to battle Los Angeles fires, making as little as $5.80 per day.
A tale of two justice systems.
@United says they don’t know where my suitcase is and that there’s no way it’s in Houston. They said the AirTag was probably ripped off and stuck to a different bag, but the AirTag was inside the bag in a zippered compartment. So… did someone go through my stuff?!
I kind of flipped out on the customer service agent and *suddenly* he had info that my bag was in Houston. He asked me if there was a green stuffed dinosaur toy from the royal Tyrrell museum in there and I yelled “YES!” So they did know where it was and just told me they didn’t?!
I’m sick to my stomach. All my Christmas gifts from my best friend were in there. Priceless custom gifts. I’m so grateful I put the AirTag in there because they can’t claim it’s completely lost. The bag was lost in Denver. I never even flew through Houston. 🤦♀️
While celebrity losses grab headlines, the Eaton Fire has destroyed nearly 1,000 structures in Altadena, displacing Black families who’ve shaped the community for generations. Here's a brief history of the community. https://t.co/CMU4RizMs0
Britain's Eels Need You!
The European Eel migration is one of the most incredible natural events on earth & in Britain we are lucky that our rivers, streams, lakes and ponds are some of the eels' key destinations.
However, the eel population of Britain & Europe has crashed in the last few decades & a scheme to export millions of our precious baby eels to Russia for cash threatens to make things even worse.
Please help to stop this trade by signing the petition below & if you'd like to know more about Britain's eels, why they are in trouble & what we can do to help them, please read and share this thread 🧵
