GOP AT WORK!

As child labor law violations have been on the rise in the US, some GOP state legislators are pushing for changes at state and federal levels to roll back protections in what some see as a threat to return child labor to the country.

The laws aim to expand permissible work hours, broaden the types of jobs young workers are permitted to do, and shield employers from liability for injuries, illnesses or workplace fatalities involving very young workers

GOP's Twitter hearing ended up proving Trump tried to silence Chrissy Teigen for mocking him and that Twitter did Trump's bidding. My article: https://deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/gops-twitter-hearing-ended-up-proving

@dcjohnson Yes and like a child refusing to clean their room, they seem wildly unaware of how dependent they are on the world around them.

Listen with your body, your heart, your eyes, your energy, your total presence. Listen in silence, without interrupting. Fill spaces of silence with love.

the term "mentally ill" gets thrown around a lot by people who don't know how mental illness is formally defined

Every so often when I put my intention to paint using a limited pallet, it actually works. This time I stuck with the blues and the greens.

I wrote about all the stuff that Elon Musk & Matt Taibbi didn’t tell you in the “TWITTER FILES” regarding the GOP’s demands for censorship on social media, the repeated changes Twitter made to its own rules to avoid taking action against Trump’s account, & the myth of Twitter’s anti-conservative bias. #disinformation #politics #Journalism

Democracy must not be a partisan issue.

It must be an American issue.

Every generation of Americans has faced a moment where they have been called on to protect our democracy. To defend it. To stand up for it.

This is our moment.
—POTUS

February Fun - Day 9

I'm a bit late today with posting. But the good news is,the dark clouds from yesterday cleared - still a bit foggy (hence today's picture), but there's brightness again 🙂
Hope you like the image, it is from a hike in the Elbe Sandstone Mountains in Germany, I suddenly had to stop, take a picture & declare "doesn't it just look like something out of a fairytale?"
