1. Riverton’s new hospital was funded by a $37+ million USDA rural development loan. Even though it’s a 👍 use of 🇺🇸 wealth, the post-autogolpe U.S. gov. will only destroy, not build; 2. U.S.🏡& 🌆 built community hospitals as alternatives to ✝️ ones. P.E. is forcing that 🛞 to be reinvented. #P.E.

“Montana, which saw roughly $1.2 million in AmeriCorps grants canceled and 86 members terminated, did not join the lawsuit and is not affected by the court order.” #MTPol #MTNews

Case in point: thanks to contributors to this thread, now I can incorporate “Anglican exorcisms” and “very excited autistic people” into everyday speech or writing.

And in today’s classifieds: a job posting for Allstate account executives.
“Are you tired of living in the ashes of Mt. St. Helens?”
The offer: a fresh start in Boise.
No salary listed. Just a forwarding address, just like it was in the old days.

A brazen upvote for a question no one asked: if you dig “The Bean Trees,” follow Taylor and Turtle to “Pigs in Heaven.” IIRC, readers pointing out the background of the ICWA became the impetus for the sequel.

You can’t roll coal in these things, and without the aid of a giant side-view mirror, you must actively aim for cyclists. Inconvenient.
