Shout-out to the lady who wanted potato farming brought back to the US....from the Pacific Northwestern Region (Idaho and Oregon).
I occasionally get to alternate with explaining supply chains and where ingredients actually come from (FYI, Vanilla is tropical/equatorial) and how national/foreign events have caused a disruption.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

did you know that intercountry #adoptees born before 1983 have no guarantee of US citizenship, and instead are treated as immigrants who must obtain citizenship through naturalization? That they are subject to deportation if they have committed a crime or are deemed to be in the US “illegally?”

Quite a few of my posts have fallen prey to these settings because my language can be colorful and because I have no hesitation to call bull on institutions when I see it. If you've found yourself wondering where your follows have gone, consider tweaking these settings.
