The U.S. Forest Service is under the jurisdiction of the USDA (U.S. Department of Agriculture.) Why? Because they view forests as commodities to harvest for profit. This isn’t anything new...

Post from me (Ash) on threads: The Democratic Party went to great lengths to conceal documents, criminalize the youth on college campuses, restrict free speech, and straight up lied about g3nocide. This isn’t an ‘opps they messed up’ moment. I don’t think liberals have fully reckoned with how substantial that vile abuse of public trust was and still is. Yall need to realize they’ll lie about anything.

Question everything.
Why New Orleans out of all places. New Orleans isn’t buying the narrative, probably the worst place for the government to try to pull some sh*t. Really..New Orleans…? Where folks battle ongoing threats from hurricanes to petrochemical plants… a majority Black population & a melting pot of diverse culture… that vibrant place with jazz funerals… the city where folks kept their African spirituality alive. While writing this it dawned on me… an excuse to expand mass surveillance ??

Then not far from Jackson, there are factory farms way too close to Pearl River, Mississippi Band of Choctaw. I’m not legally allowed to take photos of animal agriculture, due to Ag-gag laws, but Google satellite is fair game. Nitrate is the primary pollutant in the water.

A few miles before arriving in Jackson, Mississippi, something smelled terrible. Checked my map, and as I suspected, I was surrounded by factory farms. Definitely not my first disco, I know the smell.

You could be right. Either that, or they plan on using more prison labor. Interestingly, Mexico surpassed China as the number one trading partner for the first time in 20 years, and the economic value of fresh produce imports from Mexico is expected to exceed $53 billion by 2030.

Figure 9 — US Fresh Vegetable Food Imports by Country: 2008–20. Shows Mexico as the #1 … by far. Source: Economic Research Service, Department of Agriculture. 
More info: agricultural imports from Mexico to the U.S. have increased significantly in the last two decades. In 2008, more than two thirds of all U.S. imports of fresh vegetables came from Mexico (Figure 9). The percentage has continued to grow, reaching 77% in 2020.
