I don't believe 2024 is the first time that U.S. election results have been manipulated.
You may be thinking about this for the 1st time. You may have the impression that everything has been more or less fine w/ the accuracy of our elections until now. That is not the case.

All of these conditions exist in our elections.
1. It's easy to hack electronic voting machines
2. Each side believes the other side is cheating, so the rationalization is that the other side is doing it
3. The rewards, if you win, are huge. Trillions in government budgets & massive power.

The judge has recused herself.
This is a clear indication that our case is consequential and has merit. If the judge thought it was a flimsy case, she would have dismissed it. But she realized the case has serious implications.

We have a black & white, low-ink option so printing flyers can use as little ink as possible.

Maria McFarland Sánchez-Moreno, CEO of RepresentUs is speaking about growing up in Peru and its descent into a criminally corrupt dictatorship.
She's emphasizing that we cannot return to the status quo
She watched the leadership in Peru be convicted eventually of crimes against humanity

Thank you!

I hope so, I'm planning on adding lots more. Hoping for some long spurs, all different colours, doubles, etc. I'd like to get to the point where there will be Columbines all around the house. So far so good, but I know I'll need to transplant a bunch as there are too many growing together right now.

The one I obtained seeds from sprouts from an outcropping on a dirt road, so you get to see it at eye level. It does come back every year, although another patch I knew of has since disappeared. I can still remember the first native one I found, amazed that such a beautiful flower exists in the wild

I do! I'll see what I get out of what I planted last year, and will then grow examples of all the seeds to be sure of which are true, most will be getting transplanted also since they are still in bunches from last year's starts, waiting to see which are sames and which are different. Then get more!

Yes, I actually have 2 of those :) will have more! and 2 of the European Blue, i grew a baby to make sure it grew true. The babies from the purple hybrid are pretty too, some have no middle section, some resemble petticoat type doubles, and some look like Black Barlow but bigger with coned petals.

Ah yes I have seen the name. I have Black Barlow amongst the ones I had previous to planting more, also European Blue, and Colorado Blue, plus a weird hybrid double without spurs that gives all sorts of offspring. I am looking forward to those photos too! Here are some from last year

Nice to meet you too! I have these photos of where some of my seeds came from, so I'm looking forward to the results, many I collected through trades just said Columbine, so I hope there are many wonderful surprises in there! They're now growing leaves, should see something in the next month or so!
comment in response to

I had one of those, I love how the face upward. But I can't seem to find it this year, I think it got shaded out, but I am still hoping it surprises me and comes back. I still have its seeds so I will get going on that anyway. Our native version is red and yellow & hangs downward, still very pretty!
comment in response to

I have been noticing some of the leaves are different in some of the ones I've been seeing in these photos. I will have to remember to check what mine look like too, once they bloom.
comment in response to

I just planted some seeds from a wild one I found (and left there) plus every other kind I could get my hands on, so I am awaiting them all to bloom to see all the different kinds! Then I will collect all their seed and see what I get next year, at least I'll know who's who by then! Love them all!

Not so common, I haven't seen one that colour yet! Still waiting for mine to bloom, can hardly wait, it'll be the first time for many of them, only had leaves last year.

That's a very pretty one!

Fabulous! I can hardly wait till mine bloom, I get to see a bunch for the first time!

Beautiful! I am waiting for mine, I planted every kind I could find seeds for, some I don't even know anything about, so it's kind of exciting! I would consider myself extremely lucky to grow one like that!

Mine are my own seed from tomatoes I grew in 2021, 100% germinated. Also a Brandywine Red from seed purchased 2014, that I last grew in 2020. I love how long tomato seeds remain viable, gives you lots of time to get back to them after trying out other things!

That should be easy to do, to make a list of movies someone you admire has made, make a list named with the name, find a movie they worked on, add it, click on their name in the listing, and add the rest of the movies to your list. (... add to lists) you could add to other lists at the same time.

If that is a little paddle between the telsons/tails then you found a Lepidurus. It's the other genus in the order Notostraca.

The only money involved is stamps, but you can usually do multiple trades, or you can deal with a seed bank, trade everything you have at once for things they offer. Or do it in person, no stamps then. Doesn't have to be tomatoes. The world is full of diverse fruits, veggies, herbs, flowers. Enjoy!
