WORD: Fawn
WTF?!: They just killed the Forest Service. Headquarters shipped to Utah — the epicenter of every scheme to steal your public lands. Every regional office shuttered. Fifty research facilities destroyed. A century of professional forest management gutted and replaced with political puppets. 193 million acres of your land. Handed to the arsonists. This is the beginning of the end.
HISTORICAL CONSCIOUSNESS: What The Fuck Just Happened Yesterday? - Yesterday Once More
2025 - Trump started his fucking tariffs. 2015 – Four men steal items worth up to £200 million from an underground safe deposit facility in London’s Hatton Garden area in what has been called the “largest burglary in English legal history.” 2014 - The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that limits on the total amount of money individuals can give political candidates and political action committees were unconstitutional. Which is bullshit and will help destroy democracy as we know it. 1972 – Actor Charlie Chaplin returned to the United States for the first time since being labeled a communist during the Red Scare in the early 1950s. 1972 - Burt Reynolds appeared nude in Cosmopolitan magazine. 1954 - Tragedy by the Sea: A 19-month-old boy named Michael went missing along the shore in Hermosa Beach, California. His parents John and Lillian McDonald were photographed standing on the beach after the disappearance. According to Lillian, the boy had wandered out of the family’s yard. She called the police and authorities began searching for the boy. The boy was not immediately found and the search was suspended that night. The search went on for days and continued into April 5, 1954. Michael was not found until April 12, 1954, ten days after his disappearance, when his body was located on 4th Street in Manhattan Beach. A woman had spotted the boy’s body bobbing on the surf near her home, which was more than 1 mile away from where he had gone missing, and had pulled the body from the water and called the police. 1902 - The first motion picture theatre opened in Los Angeles with the name Electric Theatre. 1972- Samuel Morse died. He invented the Morse Code. 1513 - Spanish explorer Juan Ponce de Leon sighted Florida. Eww.
