Or maybe we could rip all the car sewers out and put a nice park in instead. It would make high density housing a lot nicer, yah?

You're right, they wouldn't screech about immigrants, they'd screech about Non-Citizens. Who all happen to be a certain skin color or ethnicity for some reason. Remember that some official has to sign off on your Citizenry Service. Guess who is going to be judged more harshly?

And residents have every right and protection as a citizen

History is extremely plain. If a group does not have concrete representation in the political process, their rights are trampled - or at best overlooked. Residents would extremely quickly NOT have the same rights. What about this is hard to understand?

Look, bud, what you're talking about is literally the goal of facism. Don't score an own goal for them, yah?

Yah, I mean a disaster agency running death camps was always farfetched. OTOH we have clear precedent of the US gov running death camps vis-a-vis the Native American reservations, Japanese-American concentration camps, the shit they did in the Philippines....Ironically, it actually isn't super crazy to think that the US would put you in a death camp if they decided you were the 'wrong' minority (waves hands at current events). They were just wrong about ever being even remotely targeted for that.

seed oils

Which are healthier than animal fats.

supplements

If by that you mean 'vitamins', then yes. We spend far more of our time indoors than the cavemen did, of course we need Vitamin D. Please do not spread potentially dangerous health misinformation by telling people that vitamins are bad.

processed grains

Whole grains. Which are healthier than what most people eat (white rice, white bread, etc).

...so just going to ignore the fact that humans have spent thousands of years designing crops that don't kill us? Or wait, I'm sorry, is that verboten information here?

Bruh we have literally spent thousands of years engineering crops that are good for us lmao

-Chaffee is clearly biased. -"X food contains Y, which is a poison!!!" Yah, sure, if you eat a preposterous amount of it. For example, the average human would need to eat something like 50 ounces of almonds in one day to be poisoned. That's three pounds of almonds. -The second point repeated multiple times. -Crying about potatoes being a nightshade when humans have spent the last several thousand years engineering out any potential for it to poison us lol -Nutrient blockers: wash your beans and it's a non-issue jfc

This is all crap that I can debunk off the top of my head. Go eat some vegetables.

Alright, this is actually somewhat sensible. Simple carbs are generally not great for you, doubly so for pre-diabetics.

The best way to regenerate the land is to stop farming beef and use a tenth of the land and water to grow soybeans instead.

Looks like there's a few others around, filter by your area to see what events there are.

 

For the next four years, the nation’s capital will be the source of a lot of change but not much progress. We’ve already seen mindlessly inefficient executive branch layoffs, massive tax breaks for the wealthy, and deep and relentless cuts to the most critical anti-poverty programs.

...In that hazardous environment, Democrats who control state governorships and legislatures will need to be creative and resourceful to devise an agenda they can be proud to implement and give the party some element of hope. But not all blue states are created equal.

...We thought it would be instructive to look at the 17 states with Democratic governors and Democratic majorities in their state legislatures over the past two years, and study what they actually got done. We wanted to separate those states that took up the challenge of governing from those that were unwilling to use the power they have been bequeathed by the electorate.

Minnesota is number one. Woot.

 

The Mozilla Foundation is calling upon 30 technology companies, social networks, and websites to block web scraping by an ICE surveillance contractor called ShadowDragon after 404 Media published a list of sites that the contractor pulls data from.

...ShadowDragon sells a tool called SocialNet that streamlines the process of pulling public data from various sites, apps, and services. Marketing material available online says SocialNet can “follow the breadcrumbs of your target’s digital life and find hidden correlations in your research.” In one promotional video, ShadowDragon says users can enter “an email, an alias, a name, a phone number, a variety of different things, and immediately have information on your target. We can see interests, we can see who friends are, pictures, videos.”
