Reading published personal experience accounts of French soldiers in the #FWW, I often saw references to a card game, manille. This blog post tries to explain to those unfamiliar with the game what it's all about and its incredible popularity with "les Poilus".

Senators: Lead Pipe Removal Now! | Food & Water Watch

Rather than upholding the right to clean, safe water, a key Senate committee has proposed cutting $250 million already provided in the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to remove lead service lines.

We need Congress to stand firm against Trump’s toxic agenda and fight for clean water as they finalize the next big bill that will determine critical funding to keep our food and water safe.
