In 2016, the Justice Department brought charges against 130,000 suspects. Grand juries rejected indictments only six times.
During the Trump administration, by contrast, grand jurors have repeatedly rejected prosecutors’ requests for indictments.

I see the practical arguments but I have to also presume a part they're not saying is that due to economic precarity people are going towards yellow and russet, especially as distributors have realized they can call yellow potatoes 'gold' potatoes and get away with it so long as 'yukon' is missing.
Yukon Gold potatoes are getting harder to find. Here's why growers are moving away from them and which yellow varieties are taking their place.

this is a bluesky bubble opinion. 800M+ people use chatgpt every week. I hate Facebook and Instagram and I wish they didn’t exist, but 3B and 2B people use them every month, respectively. it’s very hard to picture a mass or even a niche left backlash against them
