It’s always been about slavery for this subset of the population, right from the very beginning of the formation of the country. Not just money, not just power in an abstract sense, but the kind of power that only comes with slavery.
The fascism is only a means to slavery. They’ll take it as far as they’re allowed.
When you told them they probably didn’t realize at the time that Democrats could be involved
Interesting article. Just one of these vessels can cost $5M to remove and destroy. One of them sank in the Columbia and it would cost Oregon $25M to remove it and clean up environmental damage, which Oregon doesn’t have the funds for. Yet the federal government is selling them for as low as $5,000, often without verifying means and insurance. Sounds like the federal government should be paying to do the removal directly, but of course then they couldn’t shift the cost to states.
Notable here is that the only shipbreaker companies in the country authorized to do business with the federal government are located in Brownsville, Texas, so in the event the ships are large enough to justify the cost and seaworthy enough to make the journey, this effectively becomes yet another tax Pacific Northwest citizens pay that goes to red states.
Abandoned and derelict vessels are quietly piling up in Washington and Oregon waterways, posing a threat to fragile marine ecosystems. At least 37 of these vessels in the Pacific Northwest, including the Pacific Producer, were formerly property of the Navy, Coast Guard or another federal agency, then bought by someone who later abandoned it. Together, these former government vessels have cost Washington state and Oregon over $21 million to remove and destroy.
They’re busy enacting their final solution to the Gaza problem, so just wait a few more months and world governments can sigh a breath of relief that they don’t have to pretend to care anymore when the last Palestinian in Gaza has starved to death or been shot
Not yet, but we all know it’s coming
What worries me is using this as “evidence” to arrest Democrats in office.
Please go back to Reddit
Or <40% of us anyway. The rest don’t care.
I don’t think you can separate people so cleanly.
And I’m literally only talking about beef. Chicken may be atrocious from a cruelty perspective but it has a negligible environmental impact compared to beef. People who are emotionally invested in eating beef don’t see that they have the exact same mentality as anti-maskers did during the pandemic: doing this helps the entire human race and prevents the suffering of millions of people, but I refuse to even consider any change in my behavior because it makes me temporarily uncomfortable.
How can someone demand action from others against something like rising fascism when they won’t even change their lunch habits?
What happens when demand decreases?
Any reduction in beef consumption is a win for the environment. I hope beef becomes completely unaffordable.
Edit: Instead of down voting, maybe do a cursory investigation into some of the top causes of climate change. It ain’t bean sprouts causing it.
They should offer to rename themselves the Washington Epstein Files
Poverty, lack of opportunity, lack of education, lack of intellectual curiosity, lack of introspection, lack of a sense of adventure, corrupt leaders they reelect on ideological grounds instead of outcomes, but with progressive enclaves like any state

I do think you can’t get a complete picture of America without understanding places like Oklahoma, but America is a big place and contains a lot of different cultures.
This was an excellent article, thanks for sharing! I just subscribed to his newsletter.
Foxx didn’t get Sanders’ endorsement, but her progressive opponent did, and she won. The lesson here, at least for the three candidates that won, is that his endorsement carries weight.
She’s older now, but for context, here’s what she looked like at the time she was dating Epstein. Trump assaulted her in Trump Tower in the '90s in plain view of everyone.
Huh, I guess Trump isn’t a child rapist and Epstein’s wealthy collaborators don’t really matter anymore. Well, glad that’s done! All’s well that ends well.
The letter bearing Trump’s name, which was reviewed by the Journal, is bawdy—like others in the album. It contains several lines of typewritten text framed by the outline of a naked woman, which appears to be hand-drawn with a heavy marker. A pair of small arcs denotes the woman’s breasts, and the future president’s signature is a squiggly “Donald” below her waist, mimicking pubic hair.
Inside the outline of the naked woman was a typewritten note styled as an imaginary conversation between Trump and Epstein, written in the third person.
“Voice Over: There must be more to life than having everything,” the note began. Donald: Yes, there is, but I won’t tell you what it is. Jeffrey: Nor will I, since I also know what it is. Donald: We have certain things in common, Jeffrey. Jeffrey: Yes, we do, come to think of it. Donald: Enigmas never age, have you noticed that? Jeffrey: As a matter of fact, it was clear to me the last time I saw you. Trump: A pal is a wonderful thing. Happy Birthday — and may every day be another wonderful secret.
The wonderful secret is raping and abusing girls. Enigmas never age because they’re always 13.
Many of these things are timed to take full effect after Trump’s term. Republicans in Congress expect the next president to be a Democrat and for that person to take all the heat if they do nothing to stop it, to have to raise taxes to offset the cuts, or to incur additional deficit spending. Republicans can campaign effectively against all three, and Republican voters will lap it up like hogs at the trough.
