Please may it all be coming down in them and may the voters at last see the reality of what these anti democracy and immoral people have done and tried to do to all of us “we the people “ Thanks Heather for all you’re doing to open eyes 👏💐🇺🇸

Thank you, Lynell, for posting this link. The meat packing story is infuriating. It’s the story of my own family, the loss of businesses built by families over generations. Heart-breaking.
Hey, Nancy; you're welcome. We need to break the hearts of those monopolies. Your reply signals my resolve to push my Congress people to push for it...sooner rather than later.
In a feed lot, then to monopolies that run meat packing, out to consumers with even higher prices to buy beef full of hormones and antibiotics. The American way. If you buy meat, try to find a small local farm that does it right and yes you will pay more and get a tastier cut that was raised correctly. Here in Oregon we have a problem with lack of meat processors who will do "small orders". Some of it is caused by stupid government rules making it more difficult and some by processors who according to our pork guy, are a holes. He has had a hellish year. Raises heritage hogs and chickens in pastures. Sadly, our last meat guy and his wife were murdered viciously by his problematic home schooled son and his manipulative girlfriend.
I'm so sorry about the murder. Family murders are especially tragic. And I agree with you about the small local farms. I wonder if those "stupid government rules' are related in any way to other government rules that allow for industry consolidation. Blessings,
I think a school district would have caught the problem. He was always surly when we dealt with him....selling his folks' products. They were deeply religious and had a prayer circle before slaughtering the animals. They raised their animals right. Then we had a brief stint with another farm whose plans were bigger than their ability to fulfill them. I had to badger the guy finally to get a refund on product not delivered. Our Saturday market has pork, lamb, beef, chicken, and sometimes buffalo. Then there is the wonderful Bodhi Bakery. We get there to be nearly first in line because they sell out quickly.
Ya ya Kathleen, hhahaa I remember that saying - appropriate 'Then'. But, now? Surely you jest! However, I would only add that if yer in the Party of the Big aRse, you've got way more than your share. hahahoho.
Mother Nature's way of turning us into vegetarians? Alpha-gal syndrome is a recently identified type of food allergy to red meat and other products made from mammals. In the United States, the condition is most often caused by a Lone Star tick bite. The bite transmits a sugar molecule called alpha-gal into the person's body.Oct 8, 2021
I totally agree with you in the hope that this is the reckoning that we have been waiting for and also in your thanking HCR for all she has done to keep us informed daily. If only more people would read her words, they would know that this is not all Biden's fault and is once again showing the rotted greed of big corporations and the Congress people who ply them with $$.
On one of Heather's podcasts, she reminded viewers how many thousands of people watch/read/listen to her. We are the communication vehicle. Heather has done her job masterfully.
I do post this on my Facebook feed every day. I also have suggested that those on the far left read it. I doubt they have. My dyed in the wool R ex-classmate in Elkhart is anti being educated about issues (might cause her to change her mind) and so if she sees this, she probably removes it.
I do too. On FB and Twitter, and it makes me feel like I'm doing something concrete. I switch from Friends to Public for the audience. And I keep holding the energy of more people learning the truths we need to know.
Chaplain Terry, I shared your words with my activist group and encouraged them to follow you on FB and Twitter. Hope it’s ok to post here on the eve of Women’s March…
“Here's my take on Roe. I'm posting wherever I can. "I was a nun in 1968. I thought abortion was murder - a sin. Then I learned that when abortion is illegal, rich women fly and poor women, AND NOW CHILDREN, die. Anti-choice laws promote a different kind of murder, a murder of real women and children. And that's the real sin.”
Kathy I'm honored and grateful. Thank you! This helps because I live in DC and I wanted to attend the demonstration, but until my hip surgery I'm just not stable enough to be at a protest. You're reminding me to post again. Blessings and many happy moments.
But they won’t. The deafness I encounter on a daily basis is astounding. BIden is to blame for everything. Just saw a post on nextdoor yesterday about how our Jan 6 patriots are being held unconstitutionally. And the posts about the 2000 mules….
I don’t know if televised hearings will sway them, a la Nixon. I hope, but the cognitive dissonance and refusal to even entertain the truth is discouraging. It would probably help if the hearings aren’t translated by Tucker and Sean.
Yes, you are right when you say that many won't have any part of the truth. There again, I think that holding Donald Trump and members of Congress accountable would go a long way in starting the country to heal . I have jokingly said that secession may be the answer because the divide is so deep but maybe it is not so funny.
Marlene, you probably already know that Northern California and Southern Oregon have their loyal State of Jefferson supporters, proposing to split the states, creating a new State, seceding from their respective states. There have been serious efforts to create this state since 1941. Red or Blue? From Wikipedia, the last word!!!:
“The 2016 presidential election results, showing a strong Republican presence in the proposed State of Jefferson…
After the 2016 presidential election, it was noted that most of the rural California counties which would belong to the State of Jefferson were won in a landslide by Republican nominee Donald Trump, whereas Democrat Hillary Clinton enjoyed an unprecedented level of support in the rest of California, indicating a growing demographic and political divide between the proposed State of Jefferson and the rest of California.[citation needed] While Clinton beat Trump by almost 80 points in San Francisco, he led her by more than 50 points in Lassen County.[37][38] The election of Trump led to calls for a secession of California and a similar proposal in Oregon, where Clinton won the popular vote while Trump captured the majority of counties.[39][40][41]”
Irenie-we in NH have a group called The Free State Project which is ultra libertarian. They've managed to worm their way into the legislature and have allied w/Republicans. In Croydon, a few of them went so far as to completely eliminate the town police and subverted a town meeting by proposing cutting public school funding by half after many folks had left. Fortunately the town folks were able to have a discussion about the impact on schools and brought that bill up for a vote a second time and handily overturned that move. At the State legislature, not so much. They've passed atrocious bills and have utterly ignored massive public input against some of those bills. (An alliance from hell!)
Barbara, you illustrate why voters, residents, citizens must pay attention. It’s not easy. Libertarians have dismantled projects and policies for the people. In some places, infiltrated. And just the name, “Free State Project” is (should be) a red flag. Voter beware.
Yep, I know that, Irenie. We have the Central Valley where the farmers are and they are (were) governed by good ole Nunes in the Fresno area and McCarthy in Stockton. Many many migrant workers there who have been poisoned by chemicals that get sprayed on the crops. Oregon, Washington, CA, maybe parts of VA., and NY should clasp hands and form our own country.
Marlene, we have McClintock who is a do nothing bright Red Congressman. I’m so sorry for the farmers and farm workers who are exposed daily to cancer causing and dangerous chemicals. It’s criminal that these chemicals are legal when for years we have had more than enough data, research, evidence, proof that they are deadly. In Mexico and other countries that use Monsanto products, the people graffiti skulls and skeletons and anti-Monsanto slogans. The people there have no choice. I buy organic and I can afford it. More because I’m hoping the farm workers won’t be exposed to poisons. But they are often too expensive for families or low income consumers. “Environmental Working Group” is a great educational and activist group working to help consumers and our planet. https://www.ewg.org/
IIRC, Congress must approve any secession to form new split states. You know they never will cuz California is the cash cow for so many mostly-red states.
Judith, This secession initiative has been in the works for decades. Just putting up signs and canvasing satisfies some of these proponents. Many of them are the MAGA crew who still wave their flags in more rural areas, ready for the next election.
Victoria, I have also “played” with the idea of secession, (obviously this is not happening, which is why it’s playing) but it seems the repugs are on the way to that possibility. Maybe temporarily, since they cannot be trusted to stick with their stories. The “one true thing” the power hungry repugs have in common is their fealty to TFG. Maybe not through a declared civil war, or through decree, but through their choices in sabotage, lies and obstruction.
Agreed. As distressing as it is to get this information, it is vital to our understanding of America right now. Will the voters respond? I hope so. I'll be walking in the Women's March here in Oakland tomorrow. I just can't sit this one out. Happy Friday, All!
There’s one in Martinez too. People marching there will get on buses that will take them to the State Capitol in Sacramento. Martinez is Contra Costa County’s county seat.
Please may it all be coming down in them and may the voters at last see the reality of what these anti democracy and immoral people have done and tried to do to all of us “we the people “ Thanks Heather for all you’re doing to open eyes 👏💐🇺🇸
Yes, Susan! And may all the guilty parties start singing loud and clear!
Thank you, Heather, for a meaty and informative letter!
"Meaty:
of or like meat.
abounding in meat.
rich in content or thought-provoking matter; full of substance:
a meaty topic for discussion."
Any way you slice it, Rowshan, Heather makes the cut!
Yes, but "WHERE'S THE BEEF?!?!?"

Thank you, Lynell, for posting this link. The meat packing story is infuriating. It’s the story of my own family, the loss of businesses built by families over generations. Heart-breaking.
And the loss of small farm towns. Heart-breaking, and Nation-breaking.

It has to do with, in this case, being a FDA approved slaughter establishment and maybe something with the state of Oregon.
How horrible, Michele. I wish...

That. Is disgusting.
Tell Murdoch, Koch and the Pope!

I fear that it is a concert that will be cancelled due to no shows
Or… they will all “not recawl.”

Healing thoughts, Chaplain Terry. Please keep posting whenever you’re able. Your perspective is so important..and powerful !
Hope you heal soon, Chaplain.
Totally appropriate, in my opinion!!
But they won’t. The deafness I encounter on a daily basis is astounding. BIden is to blame for everything. Just saw a post on nextdoor yesterday about how our Jan 6 patriots are being held unconstitutionally. And the posts about the 2000 mules….

I am hoping CA secedes, eventually.

This is indeed disheartening. Actually, horrifying is a better word. Keep focussed.
My prayer for today as well
