It Was on Your Table Every Morning Growing Up. It’s Dying Before Our Eyes. No One Wants to Face It. The powerhouse of American citrus is suffering a brutal decline. Everyone has a theory about why.

Totally off-topic, but did y'all the know the Free State of Florida's citrus industry is basically dead??

This is quite a story:

Similar, the assassination of Jo Cox for telling the truth about Brexit.
And of course the assassination of Daphne Anne Caruana Galizia, who investigated The Panama Papers.

Shit.

The Manosphere. Neverending hours of relentless sneering smug misogyny streamed directly into their ears. A truly terrifying majority of Gen Z men are stewing their brains in that swill, week after week.

I like how he basically said "I'm against it. But, like, I don't care."

L. Louise Lucas @SenLouiseLucas Remember when Republicans drew Virginia's Congressional map so Black people were packed into one district and said we should be grateful they gave our community this district.

H.R. 1897, a bill intended to undermine the work done to protect endangered species, including wolves, is going to the floor to be voted on TOMORROW. This bill will weaken protections on endangered wildlife, and limit accountability and oversight of new decisions. CALL (202) 224-1312 NOW.

Let’s say I own a dog and you own a cat. I say my dog is worth $1M, and you say your cat is worth $1M. I give you my dog, and you give me your cat.

Now we’re not just pet owners, we’re millionaires.

A reminder while Republicans bitch about Dems finishing the redistricting fight they started: they have full control of gov’t— they can pass a law banning gerrymandering any time they want.

KERNEN: Is there some type of currency swap possible with UAE to help if they need it? And do you think there'd be backlash?

TRUMP: It is. It's been a good country, a good ally of ours. It was shocking because we didn't think they'd get hit. I'm surprised, because they are really rich.

The president is currently trying to steal 10 BILLION DOLLARS from the American people and it’s not the main news story in the country… not even close

The Animation Industry is in such bad shape, you guys. The amount of raw talent and power it is losing because it's not providing a sustainable living is a tragedy that future generations will study with grief.

If you're supporting artists right now: thank you.

The Onion has successfully acquired Alex Jones’ ‘Infowars’ after 17 months of legal battles and has debuted its new logo.

It will be turned into a parody of itself, with the support of the Sandy Hook families.

I don't want that.
I want him to die in jail.

I don't know why we ever stopped calling him Bonespurs. It's his oldest lie, it's always relevant, and he has no good rebuttal.
