"Swaths of the Permian Basin appear to be on the verge of geological malfunction."

An unfolding disaster, shielded by centrist pundits who tell us to "support America's oil & gas industry."

Here's an idea: The oil & gas industry should support America, not wreck our land, air, & water.

ICE’s occupation in Memphis, the largest Black-majority city in the country, has reshaped daily life, keeping kids out of school and parents from work, turning grocery shopping into a mission that risks one’s family being torn apart.
I'm a veteran criminal justice reporter. I've never seen anything like ICE-occupied Memphis.

Another magic suicide
Another Epstein connection crawls out of the paperwork.

The director of Melania Trump’s doc, Brett Ratner, is named in the Epstein files. A photo shows him posing with Jean-Luc Brunel, an Epstein associate who died by suicide in jail while facing charges for rape and trafficking minors for Epstein.

Jeffrey Epstein’s brother Mark was convinced that Donald Trump signed off on the murder of his brother. He went so far as to report a tip to the FBI.

Mark said Jeffrey was killed because he was about to name names.

Excellent analysis. What is so obvious to me and I hope to others as well is the lie of “Make America Great Again” as a pysop designed to manipulate good, honest people in believing that it’s perfectly normal to destroy America’s life blood of immigration which made us great in the first place.

Nearly of the US's garlic comes from China. Another quarter of it from Spain.

At least it did before the trade war.

It's possible some of the garlic being sold rn is the tail end of garlic that was shipped in before the tariffs started.
