If you’re feeling hope, spread that like free samples at Costco! If you’re in your despair, treat it like the flu: treat the symptoms, and try not to spread it. Hope and Despair are feelings, not objective facts. Share your hope, and ask for help with your despair when you need it.

The Iran war may have shifted ICE out of the headlines, but they’re just as active.
Several new groups seek to connect non-MAGA farmers with customers who want fresh, safe food.
