There is a reason ancient woodland has areas devoid of all plant life in November, because this is what it looks like in April
All it took was someone to love them 💜

Just a reminder, the EU has been operating a naval mission in the seas around Yemen to keep freedom of navigation open "at great cost" since 2008. A number of non-EU countries have contributed, including Ukraine... not the US though. I guess you could call that American free-loading. eunavfor.eu

The regulations they got rid of are the reason you have never had to worry about mercury poisoning, just to give one tiny example. The only ones who benefit from deregulation are corporations that want to poison you so they can make even more money.

It costs no one to run this committee that keeps an eye on food processors. Of course they would rather kill us. Such efficiency!
USDA has eliminated two food safety advisory committees for microbiological contamination and meat inspection. Most recently, they had been reviewing regulatory approaches in response to the fatal Listeria outbreak from Boar’s Head meats and fatal Cronobacter contamination in powdered infant formula
USDA eliminates two food safety advisory committees
The U.S. Department of Agriculture has eliminated two committees that advise it on food safety, the agency said on Friday, raising concerns about government oversight of the food supply as the Trump administration seeks to downsize the federal bureaucracy and slash costs.

When farmers allow this racist to address them dressed as one of them, then any sympathy for their cause disappears. (PS They should pay their taxes and stop blocking streets. One rule for some protesters and one for farmers).
