Two former Wells Fargo executives were fined $8.5M by the Biden administration for covering up the bank's infamous fake account scandal. Trump just slashed those fines to a paltry $150,000 after Wells Fargo gave $1M to his inauguration. See how this works?

1/ OK, kids, let's do some math. Here Bondi claims 3,400 kilos of fentanyl have been seized in Trump's first 100 days. That's great. The more fentanyl getting seized the better. But Republicans weren't celebrating this when Biden was president.

i realize the title is a bit counterintuitive but the answer is that you cannot as an individual guarantee your food is safe. we can, as a collective, push back HARD on dismantling food safety regulations, and put pressure on an unpopular administration to keep our food from killing us.

i hunt and raise / slaughter livestock and do my own butchering i enjoy it and it's more ethical than purchasing meat from a store. i advocate people learning how to garden and store food for means of personal resemblance but only a fool would argue for this as the solution to food insecurity

Interestingly, this was tried with the mob. In the very overheated 1984 "Pizza Connection" case, prosecuting heroin traffic from Sicily to US pizzerias, Giuliani & his prosecutors exaggerated the lowly mafiosi as being like Soviet deep cover agents & terrorist cells. The trial lasted 17 MONTHS.

I’ve been growing food & plants for a decade. I will pick on this “grow your own food” lady. Growing your own food is lovely. It can build community, especially when your zucchini or plums or apples provide too much, all at once. It isn’t easy or inexpensive. There’s a learning curve.

A significant percentage of early agrarian diet was at least like 5% sand because sifting grain by hand sucks ass so their teeth were permafucked and that is a great way to die young That is an argument for mechanical grain sifting, not RETVRN

Welsh folklore tells us that May Day Eve is one of three "spirit nights" (ysbrydnos) when the supernatural may be encountered. Like Halloween, ghosts and goblins are abroad, and the best form of protection is to huddle around a roaring bonfire. Stay safe out there! #MayDay #Wales
