REALLY? Gonna both-sides this? One "account" can be seen on video and is confirmed by a dozen eye-witnesses. The other is a social media post by history's most notorious pathological liar.

The US government is now freely killing people at sea, in other lands, and on its own streets.
It is difficult to see what more is needed for Congress and the Supreme Court to exercise their constitutional duty to check and balance what is now a rogue state abroad and a gangster state at home.

In the UK more cereal crops are fed to livestock than directly consumed by humans. Poor feed conversion ratios mean much of this is not turned into food, which is very wasteful.
Shifts to plant-rich diets mean less agricultural land use overall → less risks to birds! (See post below)

In June, DOGE cancelled a $4,192,431 premium subscription for Adobe Acrobat, forcing the FBI to save the latest batch of redacted #Epstein files in the basic version. So now they can all be copy pasted into a Memo app & then read without redactions.
