"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.” "

#DonaldTrump wants to criminally charge organizations who received government funds to combat #ClimateChange!

This apparently includes #HabitatForHumanity (this is insane!!!).

#Trump’s #FBI Moves to Criminally Charge Major Climate Groups https://newrepublic.com/post/192660/trump-fbi-charge-climate-organizations @newrepublic

This is completely beyond the pale:

'The FBI is moving to criminalize groups like Habitat for Humanity for receiving grants from the Environmental Protection Agency under the Biden administration."

“This is not fraud. This is targeted harassment,”

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.

Today I decluttered four large outdoor rockers and their two small matching tables, two outdoor pub chairs, an American flag left here by the previous owners, pool noodles, and the ceiling fan that used to live in the kitchen. Thank god for the #habitatforhumanity #restore. They're a little Jesus-y for me, but I appreciate their mission.

Sad to see this. The St Henri Habitat for Humanity store on Notre Dame west has closed as of Feb 21.

It had a massive flood in its basement in 2016 apparently due to city sewer construction that damaged a lot of its donations but recovered.

No explanation on the main website. #montreal #sthenri #habitatforhumanity

"Trump’s EPA Is Trying to Seize Billions From Habitat for Humanity and United Way."
The attack on Habitat for Humanity has begun.
This is only the beginning.

I'm not against voluntourism.
In fact, I'm going to do it myself in May.
Yes, really.

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 https://www.montereycountynow.com/opinion/forum/a-former-colleague-and-friend-reflects-on-the-continued-relevance-of-jimmy-carter-s-impact/article_2af1ab20-ced5-11ef-8a3b-abde5d1b7012.html#tncms-source=mosaic #JimmyCarter #Christian #humility #HabitatForHumanity

RIP Jimmy Carter. Beautiful funeral today at the National Cathedral in DC.

My wife took me to see Jimmy & Rosalynn Carter at Cowboys Stadium 10 years ago. What an inspiring event to witness! This is footage of his & Rosalynn's speeches with a special guest: fellow US Naval Academy midshipman and Hall of Fame QB Roger Staubach. We were fortunate to have him as president & ex-president.

#KamalaHarris eulogy for #JimmyCarter

Fmr President Carter was a president "ahead of his time," said VP Harris.

"Jimmy Carter was that all-too-rare example of a gifted man who also walks with humility, modesty & grace."

Harris shared a story of how Carter & his beloved late wife, Rosalynn, opted to sleep on the floor of a church while on their first trip for #HabitatForHumanity to give their room to a young couple who put off their honeymoon to join the trip.
