Remembering the 116 Children and 28 Adults who tragically perished in the Aberfan Disaster 60yrs ago today. 109 children and 5 teachers died at the local school when it took the brunt of one of the 7 ‘spoil tips’ collapsing & burying all in its path.
Over forty California multimillionaires have signed an open letter urging their fellow Californians to vote YES on Prop 40. They are willing to pay higher taxes, and there’s no reason why billionaires should feel differently with Prop 40. Learn more at californiansproudtopay.com
“We can.. protect the election outcome by taking to the streets after the election, if need be. The rest of the non-stop coverage of what Trump might or might not do is irrelevant to us at this point.” (just vote and vote early)! Many great photos today. roberthubbell.substack.com/p/gop-closin...
