Melon Husk (donOLD Drumpf's sugar daddy) is in "regular contact with Putin" for two years.

Xitter needs to be shut down, as it's now obvious that it's a Russian disinformation channel. #Xitter #disinformation #election2024

Addressing working class grievances is the winning message:

"Ironically, if Democrats are keen to defend democracy they would do well to stop talking about it. Instead, they should try to persuade voters on an economic vision that seeks to end offshoring and mass layoffs, revitalize manufacturing, cap prescription drug prices and put working families first."

Where an abomination once stood, a new section of Riverside Park International Friendship Gardens will feature the Ho-Chunk Nation, and its central feature will be "A statue honoring notable Ho-Chunk figure Betsy Thunder... a medicine woman.. renowned for her skills in crafting remedies from native roots and plants."

I'm happy for the First Nations who fought to eliminate the shameful depiction of their ancestors, and I'm glad the city found a way to right that wrong. https://lacrossetribune.com/news/local/indigenous-garden-section-to-be-added-at-riverside-international-friendship-gardens/article_6ab73698-8d86-11ef-8058-13333d7cf759.html

They closed the only #hospital in the town where I grew up. This story is about a co-op formed to raise money for a new hospital. I thought... "Rather than build a new hospital, why not use the big empty hospital building for the new hospital?"

"...the [co-op] had initially proposed leasing those facilities while they came up with a plan for a new hospital.... HSHS did not play ball however and the cooperative eventually rescinded the offer..."

HSHS is evil. https://chippewa.com/news/local/business/health-care/chippewa-valley-hospital-feasibility-study/article_5887149c-858f-11ef-9f38-eb5340c25953.html
