A thing I learned about Meta when I was trying to understand how their statements relate to their actions a few years ago is that *they just tell absolutely indefensible lies* and journalists almost always let them. They believed no one would ever punish them for it in any way that matters.

So Trump already knew this when he demanded an Olympic athlete be prosecuted for a nonexistent crime. Someone else's entire life was irrelevant to him. All he cared about was an excuse to cover up something that made Trump look bad.

We eat almost NO meat (basically none most of the time) and our grocery bill is so high. It's kinda wild. We try not to get things that are spendy but hemorrhaging on groceries. If you really love meat --I'm sorry if you can't afford to eat it. (I also love meat but I barely ever eat it.)

Log it, graze it, and then watch it burn
The industries driving the West’s fire crisis are selling logging and livestock grazing as the cure, and taxpayers, wildlife and the land are paying the price.

A recent survey found that 92% of U.S. adults have delayed or avoided medical care due to high costs. Meanwhile, a new study from Yale estimates that Medicare for All would save over 114,000 lives and $1 trillion a year. If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have universal healthcare.

Random reminder that the GOP's tax cuts for their billionaire donors ballooned the deficit, so they're blaming the problem on Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid — while making cuts to programs that millions of Americans rely on. It's socialism for the rich, harsh capitalism for everyone else.
