I feel the same. Biden also *allows* his aides & appointees to educate & inform him, where shit-for-brains orange mussolini didnt want to be told anything by anybody.

Costco has like an 8 pack of salmon patties & its the best summer easy meal. I prefer to cook them outside on the grill to avoid the salmon smell in the house, and then yeah, sometimes we just dice them up & put on top of whatever rice bowl weā€™ve created.

We just had a WHOLE DAY of drenching rain here in the flathead and MAN, what a relief. Fireworks are already so stressful for me, one less thing to be concerned about.

Itā€™s such a ā€œtellā€ that conservatives think the US Sup Court should be allowed (encouraged!) to legislate from the bench, and here in MT conservatives are Big Mad that MT Sup Court judges ā€œoverstepā€ and legislate from the bench (because they donā€™t like the rulings).

Weā€™ve had a great increase in Dem candidates this year here in ruby red Flathead Co, MT ā€¦where even being a slightly not extreme Raging Red REPUBLICAN can get you death threats. I think they said we fielded a candidate in all races.

As a Montanan who works in healthcare, this is something we discuss regularly at work. Gun suicides so frequently lead to death, and if youā€™re able to access a gun instantly (i.e. its not locked up appropriately) distraught individuals can commit suicide impulsively in just a few short minutes. šŸ˜­

Montanaā€™s suicide rate has been the highest in the U.S. for the past three years, with most of the deaths involving firearms. Most gun deaths in America are self-inflicted, yet suicide rarely registers in the national debate over guns.

Book 1 of THE HUNGER AND THE DUSK is out this week, and I'd love your help getting the word out. This is my pandemic baby, born in a hellish summer of simultaneous lockdowns and wildfires, set in a world in a similar state of ecological collapse. It's got all your fave high fantasy tropes w a twist.

Maybe try & feed the large breed size kibbles. We switched our cockapoo to that size kibble (same brand) after a dental cleaning & it really seems to help keep plaque from building up so far.

The other day a patient of mine declined all cancer screening because if he did get cancer he told me he would decline treatment so he could pass on some money to his family instead of losing it to medical bills.

I cant understand the obsession with ā€œknowingā€ the origin. Do people have the same concern with the origin of H5N1 bird flu? Ebola? HIV? Also the antivax folks who dont want Covid vax that were developed in a lab but are ok with getting Covid ā€¦that might (unlikely tho) be lab created?! Weird.

šŸ“£ MONTANA is another state where the best Democrats can likely do is break GOP supermajorities...but you can also help put abortion rights on the ballot!

Boosting state legislative turnout also boosts statewide turnout for Jon Tester! Donate today.
