"Convicted #USCapitol rioter turns down Trump #pardon"

"Accepting a pardon would only insult the Capitol police officers, rule of law and, of course, our nation... I pleaded guilty because I was guilty, and accepting a pardon also would serve to contribute to their gaslighting and false narrative"

Pamela Hemphill aka "#MAGA Granny"

...she saw the #Trump government as trying to "rewrite history and I don't want to be part of that"

I need to speak to someone in the House Appropriations Committee because our federal tax dollars are clearly not being spent well.

Good morning, wildflower lovers and fans of parks!

Today is Frederick Law Olmsted's 201st birthday. I'm sure everyone at #WildflowerHourNYC knows Olmsted designed Central Park and Prospect Park, but he and his landscape architecture firm designed hundreds of parks and other places around the country.

Did you know Olmsted designed the grounds of the United States Capitol?
