Today is the 5th anniversary of the release of the infamous #Lawyercat video, which I posted roughly thirty minutes after the start of the second impeachment trial. Who would have thought it would have such a lasting impact on the world! Happy Lawyercat Day for all who celebrate!

40+ dams failed in Helene. Many were decades past their lifespan. With stronger storms, experts say NC must move fast to avoid a much bigger disaster. ➡️ wral.com/news/local/hidden-f… @WRAL

This #NationalWildlifeWeek, 🦪 we’re celebrating the quiet power of mussels and the vital role they play in our rivers!
