Dr. Sammy part 2. So many plants we eat aren’t native. So many of the plants we call native are NOT. Like honey bees and Mexican milkweed, many are naturalized, having been here hundreds of years. There’s an elitist snobbery about “native only,” that’s not inspiring.

The geese from last month’s emergency rescue are doing well! We are not sure what we’re going to do with them, to be honest. We’re not set up to keep them permanently, but they would have died if we had not taken them from the homestead where they were found.

In the 1980s, tobacco companies began buying up the world's largest food manufacturers
Phillip Morris bought Kraft and General Foods; RJ Reynolds bought Nabisco
They began making food more addictive and unhealthy.
They marketed food like they did cigarettes.

They looked for “Don T” in the Epstein files and redacted all instances, which means they also redacted a lot of “don’t”

JUST IN: A federal judge has barred ICE and DHS from using taxpayer information provided by the IRS.
Judge Talwani says that DHS' view that noncitizens lack 4th amendment rights — combined with ICE use of administrative warrants — is a recipe for abuse.
