Vance at today's cabinet meeting - "One of the great things about the United States is when we see a baby who needs help, we help our fellow Americans" He didn't explain where, when or how, nor could he without whipping up an amount of BS large enough to suffocate a stadium full of fact-checkers.

Unbelievable. They clearly don’t understand the Iranian regime if they think economic pressure is going to work. Iran understands they have the leverage here. They’ll keep playing Trump like a puppet until he gets all the way in, or all the way out of the war. Hopefully out.

Trump just shrunk Bears Ears by 91% and Grand Staircase-Escalante by 90%. Bears Ears was the first national monument co-managed by tribes. Five tribes spent years building that partnership. It's been walked back. 100,000+ archeological sites now exposed to mining and drilling.

Vegan meat replacement products are highly processed in the main and therefore okay to assist with the transition from eating meat/fish/dairy/eggs but ideally should not form a regular part of an ongoing #plantbased diet. For me they help me fit in, say at a BBQ or when short of time.

Taxing The Rich Lets scrap Income/Corporation tax (to motivate business) and replace with polution tax. Everyone gets a polution allowance (eg 1 flight a year etc) after that punitive tax is levied. The rich polute far more so pay more tax and are motivated to reduce personal/ business polution.

FYI: JUST the act of lifting sanctions nets Iran about $5B PER MONTH. That's in addition to the $24B in unfrozen assets, and the $300B that will probably be managed by Kushner's hedge fund for a fee.

Trump personally unveiled the new AF1 today, a converted Qatari jet (cost unrevealed). "This plane was transformed into a flying White House at a level of luxury that nobody's ever seen before," he said. People can't make ends meet, the country is in chaos, but not to worry - he has a new toy.

Futility fallacies are very popular with people making no effort whatsoever. 🎨 VeganSideKick
A three-panel meme featuring images of a rescue boat with two crew members speeding across the water. Each panel contains dialogue:

1. **First panel:** "Quick! There are people drowning in the water! We have to save them!"
2. **Second panel:** "But we won’t have room for all of them in this boat!"
3. **Third panel:** "You’re right. Let’s not bother saving any of them. LOL."

At the bottom of the meme, text reads:  
**"What it sounds like when someone says you shouldn’t bother with veganism because you can’t do it 100%."**  

The meme critiques the argument that veganism isn’t worth pursuing unless it can be done perfectly. It is credited to **vegansidekick.com**.
