"But don’t get the impression that Texas is the only state where this is happening. The Center for Food Safety says reclaimed fracking water is routinely used to irrigate crops in the San Joaquin valley of California, where much of the fruits and vegetables for US consumers are grown."

This is a bad thing because there's no way to ensure that whatever treatment process they use on the fracking fluid will be effective, because the fluid itself contains proprietary chemical compounds.
It amounts to petrochemical corporations saying "Trust us."

What is common knowledge in your field, but shocks outsiders?
Food systems are the #2 contributor to climate change, the #1 driver of deforestation, the #1 driver of biodiversity loss on land, and the #1 user of freshwater.
(It follows that food systems contain many solutions to these problems.)

These ghouls have been foaming at the mouth to eliminate Medicaid for decades. Setting aside the intrinsic value of caring for people who need a little help, whether you personally receive Medicaid or not, you absolutely benefit from it and you will absolutely be harmed by these proposed cuts.

Remember, we *had* a diplomatic resolution to the Iran nuclear issue, thanks to the JCPOA that Obama put in place after years of hard work, but then President Spiteful Shithead withdrew the U.S. from the pact in 2018 and everything fell apart.
