"The FBI is moving to criminalize groups like #HabitatForHumanity for receiving grants from the #EPA under the Biden administration.

Citibank was told to freeze the groups’ bank accounts at the FBI’s request. The reason? The FBI alleges that the groups are involved in “possible criminal violations,” including “conspiracy to defraud the United States.” "

Another cool piece of retro tech from my local Habitat for Humanity store, a Revere 16mm sound film projector. Love All the metal with baked paint and the lovely case with a speaker behind the fancy grill and a hidden compartment for wires and accessories. Very nice for the time. Love it, but no place for it. Would be great in somebody's theater room or indie theater lobby.

Feeling really good about my mess of a workshop for a while. I picked up a very useful rolling cart/shelf at the Habitat for Humanity store for an amazing $5, that turned out not only to solve the problem I wanted it to (making my bench power tools more accessible and useful), but to provide a ton of useful storage and break a clutter logjam that's been snarling a corner of my shop for months.

"Though not widely recognized at the time, Carter’s legislative success scorecard was amazing—it has not been equaled since….Congressional Quarterly reported 76.6 percent of Carter’s initiatives were passed by Congress….Carter achieved the largest expansion of protected lands in history, doubling the size of the National Park system….Carter was also not inclined to take time to talk about his achievements." — Jim Copeland on Jimmy Carter montereycountynow.com/opinion/ #JimmyCarter #Christian #humility #HabitatForHumanity
