Wild news that shows a combination of the growing unpopularity of the Trump administration’s actions (and the importance of pushback), the ethical and legal questions raised by so many of the administration’s actions, and the administration’s incompetence.

I bet this is good. Look at the compelling color.
The new panels shift attention away from enslaved people and instead focus on Washington's theoretical opposition to the institution.

We have a great Middle Eastern grocery a few miles north of our house in Seattle, and given that my boyfriend Sam is Lebanese, we visit often to stock up on chickpeas, good feta and tahini — the latter being the one non-negotiable; we’re always stocked with tahini.

These easy-to-make Georgian Pkhali feature spinach and beets and are a vibrant and nourishing appetizer perfect for any feast!
