Elections aren’t every 4 years or every 2 years, they’re every year. In California we have a special election for prop 50 and it’s a YES. If Texas can gerrymander then we should be able to. I know my comments will be filled with bots, but I won’t be intimidated. Our democracy is vanishing❤️

Ok, so I checked.. because of the requirement in introducing biofuels... The US started importing animal and plant oil and grease, mostly from Southeast Asia, jathropa palm oil.
Since 2023, there was an increase there. Interesting is that soybean oil is one source, peanut oil as well.

Copper Sturgeon 🏴‍☠️🇵🇭🇺🇸🇵🇹🇬🇧🗿🫚🦜 @tantzu.bsky.social · 5h

Only concern I see on that, involves China's fraudulent biofuels, mostly to EU markets too.
Used cooking oil?

You could call them Profa

Himes: You know, it's the Pete Hegseth insecurity that requires a constant marination in testosterone and fraternity-boy macho bullshit that, at the end of the day, would be funny if it weren't both lethal and counterproductive to actually dealing with the nation's drug problem.

American white Supremacists would be surprised to know, as when first time I mentioned to a NC white coworker..

So called European language and culture has origins in Asia, and not really white.

Some say arming lunatics & the resulting murders they commit is simply the price we must pay to protect the freedom of armed lunatics to commit murders.

Let’s remember all the victims of senseless gun violence.
