Orange production in Florida has collapsed over 95% in less than 25 years. 100% of trees are now infected with a disease officially deemed “incurable.”
Who killed the Florida orange? My investigation, in @slate, into the lost empire of the old citrus state.
Looks like the soldiers killed in Kuwait were reservists.
Most Americans don’t know that reservists and Guardsmen make up large elements of US forces overseas. Reservists and Guardsmen made up 40% of the US forces in the Afghan and Iraq wars. Remember that the 3 US soldiers killed in Jordan in 2024 were reservists as well.
The US cannot field enough active duty forces to support its commitments overseas PRIOR to war. Sustaining a war with Iran will require a substantial call up of reservists and National Guard.
These four people should have had long lives with their families and been contributors to their communities. They should not have died in Kuwait.
Surely a white male being killed for exercising his 1st amendment rights while also using his 2nd amendment rights to carry a firearm being killed will make a difference to those who are obsessed with preserving the white race and the constitution.
If you've ever wondered why American politics have gone completely bananas over the last 10 years, here's why. Citizens United allowed the Epstein class to destroy our democracy.
