The extenuating circumstances are that he's a piece of shit.

Yeah, no one's buying this. These are sadistic thugs who've had ample opportunity to learn the history of Hitler's brown shirts and went ahead and signed on the dotted line anyhow.

Nothing seems far fetched anymore. It's only the commitment to total devastation that gets him chickening out.

They're family-run operations, proudly owned by generations of Latinos, in many local cases. You're talking full-on internment camps if they're to forcibly remove these legal citizens from their businesses. I'm not saying that isn't in the works but these aren't only field workers vulnerable to being terrorized. There's a vast co-op network they pull resources from. If trump is going to truly go after all production, food will cease to be available. We will see economic destruction that will make the Great Depression pale in comparison.

Learning to eat what's seasonal is a great way to understand world cuisines better. It's advantageous when traveling...

Depends on the region. I can find about 5 on Victoria Avenue in Riverside, California alone. Farm stands are everywhere under our noses in this state and we can wind up overlooking these amenities.

In LA, back in the day, I would have been going to farmer's markets more, which are a bit more work because they have limited schedules. Still, there are brilliant places like Super King there, that have a lot of value for the money. I also miss other specialties there like sushi-grade fish mongers, etc. There are quite a lot of options in Southern California and beyond such as Latino supermarket chains like Vallartas, Cardena's and Northgate/Gonzalez Bros as well as Asian options like 99 Ranch Market.

Buy local, folks. I got far higher quality tomatoes at a farm stand the other day than I can find at any big box store in the US. The prices can't be beat.

 

That’s why the lawsuit against the administration, filed last month by the American Bar Association, the nation’s largest voluntary association of legal professionals, is such an important—and welcome—volley in this growing war between the president of the United States and the American legal profession. Specifically, the suit seeks preemptive relief prohibiting Trump from taking any further action against law firms around the country. In an 85-page complaint, the ABA outlines in painful detail the intimidation tactics that the White House has used to break the independence of the legal profession. The ABA asks the court to issue an order protecting lawyers throughout the U.S. by prohibiting Trump from using those tactics in the future.

A command is an ask. TIL.

Good to know. Archive.is is failing here.

One of the only things he's ever said that (almost) makes sense but he sure doesn't understand the concept of using all the tools in his toolbox.

 

In Oklahoma, a domestic militia calling itself “Veterans on Patrol” is systematically targeting weather radars. Their leader, Michael Lewis Arthur Meyer, claims the military is controlling the weather through Doppler radar systems and that these machines are part of a divine affront — a “weather weapon” — that is “mocking God Himself.”

He’s encouraging his followers to sabotage these radars under an operation he calls “Leaning Tower.” This isn’t just fringe paranoia: it’s part of a growing anti-reality insurgency that threatens our democracy itself.

Judaism is not Zionism, and those who argue they are one and the same are being fundamentally dishonest. Yet collectively, Jews are often held responsible when the world's only Jewish state claims to act in our name.
