"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.” "

The New Republic · Trump’s FBI Moves to Criminally Charge Major Climate GroupsThe Trump administration is targeting climate organizations that received a Biden-era grant.

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.

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

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.

First international build was in Windsor

In 2005,

Former president Carter was in the city for this first ‘international build’ for the Carter Work Project.

“If you were to go to the houses that Jimmy Carter built on Bruce Avenue and open up the drywall,

"You would see on the studs’,

"Signatures of all the volunteers that helped on that project,

"Including Jimmy Carter's signature."

#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.
