Obama didn’t hold the Bush war criminals accountable. Biden didn’t hold Trump accountable for treason. You’re gonna need to do more than just vote blue if you want to see justice.

If you're at the grocery store, Pink Lady, SweeTango/Minneiska, or Cosmic Crisp are good bets. SweeTango & Cosmic Crisp were bred specifically to be "Honeycrisp but with the will to live."
Other ones are good too! Those are just the 3 I've had the best luck with here in eastern NC.

Interesting that we’ve started against Wolves with this midfield. So far so good though
For all the shouts to let off the handbrake, the other element of the subs this weekend which may go under acknowledged is how key the solidity of Iwobi, Lukic and Berge together was 💪
It’s no coincidence the withdrawal of Sasa and relocation of Iwobi was when this one got away
