In the century leading up to 1975, nearly 6000 freighters went down in the Great Lakes.
The Edmund Fitzgerald was the last.
The last. In 50 years, not a single commercial freighter has been lost in the Great Lakes.
Why?
It's NOAA. Of course it's NOAA.

SNAP is an expression of compassion for the multitudes here, for the harassed and helpless crowds whose families call this place home.
And that’s exactly why Conservative Evangelicals want to destroy it.

Donald Trump incited a violent coup to overthrow the 2020 election and hold onto power. It will never be ok that he was not held accountable, including banning him from ever again holding public office.

The fundamental way a lot of people engage with politics is picking a side and trying to win, which is understandable because it’s the way politics are modeled and how people are encouraged to engage. But it’s then easy to forget that politics is supposed to be about making life better for everyone
