I was helping my son with his social studies homework, and we came across this quote which seems apt.
There is much declamation about the sacredness of the compact between the free and slave states, on the adoption of the Constitution...It was a compact formed at the sacrifice of the bodies and souls of millions of our race, for the sake of achieving a political object, an unblushing and monstrous coalition to do evil that good might come. Such a compact was, in the nature of things and according to the law of God, null and void from the beginning. --"The Great Crisis," William Lloyd Garrison

Okay, I know it's Moscow, Idaho, but this blurb from a linked article gave me a good chuckle.
Screenshot from a linked article stating, "Foreman, a Republican from Moscow, emphatically refused to speak with them in an exchange that several people recorded on camera." "Republican from Moscow" is highlighted.

Excellent article. And thanks for saying I'm awesome.
Screenshot of an email from Jonathan Katz saying "You are awesome." Because I am.

Me reading the article: "Oh what a fun story!"

And then...WTF?!?
Screenshot from the article of the section labeled "Controversy": "A noted photographer, James Prigoff, ended up in a United States Department of Homeland Security database after photographing the Rainbow Swash. The ACLU of California is currently suing the Federal Government calling into question the legality of the Suspicious Activity Reporting program which was used to report the photographer. In February 2019 the Ninth Court of Appeals affirmed an earlier finding for the government."

Call me an extremist, but personally I think if you can't run a business profitably without endangering your employees, then you're probably not a very good businessman.
A screenshot from the article with the following text highlighted: "Aderholt (who holds a 0% rating from the AFL-CIO) may insist that the bill ​“puts workers first by ensuring businesses can stay open,” but in reality it makes it easier for those businesses to endanger and exploit their workforces in the name of speed and profits."

This has got be one of the most ridiculous rationalizations I've ever heard. It's like making a batch of cookies and saying half are sugar-free, while the other half contain double sugar.

Anyway, thank you for your hard and I'm sure at times frustrating work on this story.
A quote from the article, stating: "The American Chemistry Council told me it’s impossible to know whether a particular ethylene molecule comes from pyrolysis naphtha or fossil fuel naphtha; the compounds produced are “fungible” and can be used for multiple products, like making rubber, solvents and paints that would reduce the amount of new fossil fuels needed. Its statement called mass balance a “well-known methodology” that’s been used by other industries including fair trade coffee, chocolate and renewable energy."

Sometimes I think about how different things would be if those who showed up for Obama in '08 and Biden in '20 showed up in every election.
