Donald Trump is extremely mad at @biologicaldiversity.org today for winning a last-minute TRO saving sacred Apache land at Oak Flat from being given to a foreign mining company to destroy.
He can choke on his own sickening allcaps bile for all I care. We'll never give up the fight for Oak Flat.

In any discussion of food and farming, unless your solution can be scaled to feed 8 billion people, you shouldn't be taken seriously. Unfortunately, cottagecore fantasies that would feed only the richest consumers, leaving billions to starve, are all too common.

Totally irrational, even from an industry perspective.
Stopping the EIS doesn't change BLM's requirement to comply with environmental laws. It just 1) makes it much harder for BLM to not violate the law, and 2) easier for environmental groups to sue the BLM and win.

The Syrian Arabic word for a hamster is أبو جراب (abu jrab), where jrab refers to a pouch/saddlebag/tote. And abu often means “father of,” but can also function as a general honorific (like “mister”). So it’s not too big a stretch to say the Syrian Arabic word for a hamster means “Mister Saddlebags”
