France became the first country in the world to ban supermarkets from throwing away unsold food. Lawmakers passed the Loi Garot, which requires all grocery stores larger than 400 square meters to donate edible food to charities and food banks instead of sending it to landfills.

To be fair, at current tech this does sound somewhat easier than building a time machine, going back, and *not* tearing up a perfectly effective treaty preventing Iran from trying to go nuclear in the first place. Probably.
(No, those are not the only two options.)
They spent billions on regime change in Venezuela and left the Maduro's head of torture in charge.
They are now spending billions on regime change in Iran, knowing the most likely outcome will be harder line leadership.
We do not have serious people running our country.
I was born in an Iranian prison. My parents were held in their jails. My uncles lie in their mass graves. Nothing you can tell me about the crimes of the Iranian regime that I haven't lived in blood and bone. That doesn't mean I want my people bombed, maimed, killed, their homes in ruins. If your vision of liberation comes only through the destruction of innocent lives, then it's not freedom you're after. Sahar Delijani, Iranian author
I am pro Iranian people. I stand with them against their own government’s repression AND against the imperial violence in the form of bombs dropped from the sky from Israel & the US who have already killed hundreds.
I support neither imperialism or dictatorship.

Ofelia Torres, the teenage Chicago Public Schools student whose fight against cancer while her father was detained by ICE came to represent the federal government's overreach during Operation Midway Blitz, has died. Brave young woman. I will never forget her. RIP.

It is redefining the electorate through procedural filtration…[and] structural barriers…the issue is not fraud prevention but power allocation.”

It’s crazy to me, how many Americans still think Puerto Rico is a foreign country. And insulting them.
Every Puerto Rican is an American citizen. And when any of them move to the mainland, they are able to vote for the president of the United States.
Regardless of this particular race: Dems draw from a much more diverse candidate pool than the GOP. They can make that an advantage by choosing great politicians from lots of different demographic groups...or a disadvantage by trying to choose only from the straight white men running as Dems.
