China expands Argentina soybean buying to 20 cargoes, traders say Chinese importers kept up a hectic pace of Argentine soybean purchases after the South American supplier's move to abolish export taxes temporarily made its prices competitive, traders said on Wednesday.

So just to be clear: The US is propping up Argentina’s economy, and now Argentina can eliminate its export taxes, so it can sell tons of soybeans to China, so China isn’t forced to buy soybeans from the US, so the US can pay subsidies to keep our farmers solvent.

If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations.

If you're 45, that number is 74.7%.

If you're under 28, the number is 100%.

Our Pride, Our Power – Let’s Light Up the Sky 🌈✨ Our Pride, Our Power – Let’s Light Up the Sky 🌈✨This year, like many Pride organizations, we’re feeling the impact of reduced corporate sponsorship. In 2024, corporate partners contributed $440,000 to Boise Pride. For 2025, we’re currently at $250,000β€”$190,000 less than last year. We’ve scaled our festival plans to match our resources, but our themeβ€”Our Pride, Our Powerβ€”reminds us that the true strength of Boise Pride comes fromΒ all of us.One tradition we hope to keep alive is our Pride Festival fireworks show. It’s a moment where we gather together, look up, and celebrate our community under a sky lit with color.We’re launching aΒ Fireworks Crowdfund to raise $15,000 for:Fireworks:Β $9,800Music Choreography:Β $2,650Production:Β $1,750Insurance:Β $800No matter what we raise, thereΒ will be a showβ€”scaled to what our community makes possible. Every contribution, big or small, helps us end the weekend with something spectacular.If you or your business want to be part of making this happen, you can give here.Let’s make this a year where our pride and our power shine brighter than ever.

Many corporate sponsors have cowed to the political pressure & are not contributing to #BoisePride this year.

Mary Shelley doesn't get enough credit for not only anticipating the silver-spooned narcissist techbro who recklessly creates technology without thinking through the consequences, but also for knowing that said techbro would be an absolutely terrible father.

I think a PBS passport is only 5 dollars a month in my area, much less than the streaming apps, and much better programming. Let’s all throw them some support.

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people:

1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money
3) We won’t need a lot of troops
4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq
5) We’ll find WMDs
6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators
7) It will be easy
8) It won’t take long

All lies.
