"Scientists are holding a ‘science fair’ in the lobby of a congressional building to show what the U.S. stands to lose with cuts. The pop-up fair came after Trump signed a bill cutting science budgets—from climate research to medical trials":

The Enchanted Forest.

“The Enchanted Forest” is an impressive #mural in #Halle. It is located on the wall of the cardboard factory Pacapime along the Brussels-Charleroi canal.

With an area of no less than 2000 square meters, it is one of the largest murals in Europe.

The #artwork was created by the #artist collective #Treepack and tells the story of several children who dream of a #future where people and nature live again in harmony and decide to make origami animals from paper they find in an enchanted forest. To their surprise, the animals come to life.

Children from the city of Halle served as models for the figures in the artwork.

Great video that talks about what the future could look like if we embraced anarchism.

A society that helps its members when they need help. Community and knowing our neighbors. Mutual interests, mutual aid, mutual defense, mutual responsibility, and so on.

In short, being more of an influence on our neighbors than mass media is, presently.

They'll continue to wreak "Death by 1000 Cuts" on ALL Albertans' public health, education, environment, social, security, economy, democracy & respect.

Zero ethics.

Zero days without an embarrassment.

ZERO trust.

THIS IS WHY we voted for #ABetterFuture, sane leadership and drama-free governance.

But political inertia guaranteed the #Kakistocracy still occupies ALBERTA'S HOUSE.

Apropos to the Alberta election.

Yesterday had its chance.

I vote for #ABetterFuture.
