With so much going on in our world, we sometimes miss important issues. Please feel free to share any headlines we may have missed or new developments providing they come from reliable and credible sources. We won’t accept any parroted, Russian propaganda from far-right ‘news’ sources unless you’re trying to point out that the far-right extremist in our country and elsewhere actually believe their own BS or Russian disinformation. Nor, will we except any parroted far-right BS regarding issues occurring here, at home. We also ask that you provide a link to your source so folks can read it if they want. Please do not make any claims that you cannot factually validate or verify.
Tweet of the Day:
Out of all the mistakes made by the U.S. media covering the Biden presidency, perhaps the most egregious is allowing Republicans to pretend that rising inflation is a problem that is only plaguing the United States — and not the entire planet as a whole. Do your job, reporters!

Hurricane #Ian has a very large wind field that will bring strong winds to a broad area for many hours today/tonight. Rain-soaked soil will make the issue of downed trees likely – which can be very dangerous. Help avoid injury by sheltering in an interior room away from windows. pic.twitter.com/Q95WbkK9JP
