Fireflies spend the first 2 years of their lives underground. Lawn chemicals kill them.

During those early years in the soil, they're working double time dealing with your pests. They eat slugs, snails, earthworms and other soft-bodied insects.

The three biggest threats to fireflies are habitat loss, light pollution, and pesticides, pretty much in that order according to experts surveyed across 350 firefly researchers worldwide.

What actually helps: stop all lawn chemicals, leave the leaf litter in the fall, mow less frequently and higher, and turn off outdoor lights at night.

How are the fireflies doing in your yard?

The most effective propaganda does not tell you what to think.

It tells you what is worth thinking about.

Americans are not told to support every U.S. military action.

They're encouraged to debate it.

To have opinions.

To argue about troop levels and exit strategies and mission creep.

What they are not asked to think about is the premise.

The premise: that the United States has the right to project military power into any country on earth, to overthrow governments it dislikes, to impose economic conditions through financial institutions it controls, to maintain hundreds of military bases on foreign soil, to reserve the right of first nuclear strike, to conduct drone assassination programs in countries it is not at war with.

These are not debated on cable news.

These are not campaign issues.

These are not in the frame.

They are the frame.

And as long as the frame holds, the debate inside it, hawks versus doves, surge versus withdrawal, multilateral versus unilateral, is a debate about methods.

Not about whether the entire structure of global military dominance should exist.

The system allows you to argue about everything inside the frame.

It simply never asks you to look at the frame.

Vietnam looked at the frame.

Vietnam broke the frame.

That is why they have never fully forgiven us.

BREAKING 🚨🇬🇷

Greeks are being pushed just like Albanians.

An Israeli investment fund is aggressively privatizing 200 hectares of Kalamata’s western beach, fencing off public coast for residences.

They want to create future colonies.

What if Western liberalism was not the only answer to the great questions of human life? What if other peoples, histories, and philosophies held equally plausible visions of what it is to live and to think?
