Back in the day, it was "razor blades in candy bars and apples" and "LSD in EveryThing."

I'm now 66, and I've never heard of a confirmed case of any of that crap, but I have heard confirmed stories of lead in foodstuffs, dioxins and PFAS in water tables, etc.

WaPo (house organ of the billionaire bezos guy) supports extractive capitalism that imposes food insecurity and hungry on the poor in an attempt to force them to work for poverty-wages.

If Republicans keep driving up candy prices it is actually going to be cheaper to give out drugs for trick-or-treat…you can’t really grow cacao and sugarcane in the US but you can make fentanyl, and economic unrest/downturn/inequity are some of the strongest drivers of drug use

Dem Rep. Sara Jacobs after today's briefing from Pentagon officials on boat strikes, via @AnnieGrayerCNN:
"They said that they do not need to positively identify individuals on the vessel to do the strikes," Jacobs said, adding that was in part why admin "could not actually hold or try the individuals that survived one of the attacks is because they could not satisfy the evidentiary burden."

The Pentagon maintains they have the right to murder civilians even if they don’t know who they are. This is insane and lawless. Everything they present suggests Trump has the unchecked god-like authority to smite who he pleases β€” like Zeus throwing thunderbolts from the heavens.

This stuff really freaks me out. They see their future as one where the decisionmakers live in military installations, where the civil and military functions of government become merged.
