Genuinely think there's potential for DSA chapters in cities with MLB franchises to launch campaigns building up a fan solidarity organizations ahead of the December contract expiration & lockout next year. Same for the Minors when they negotiate in 2027.
More from the MLBPA: "Billionaire owners are not seeking to cap their profits or asset values, only player salaries. This isn’t out of generosity or a desire to protect the game’s well-being. It’s a play to control costs, increase profits and maximize franchise values..."
If you see this and feel anything other than the crushing weight of love for life on this earth and sadness over what we have done to harm it you are an actual Demon
The USDA has kept raccoon rabies out of the central United States for over 30 years by air-dropping fish-flavored ravioli from helicopters.
Each one is a small packet coated in fishmeal with an oral rabies vaccine inside. Raccoons, foxes, coyotes, and skunks find them by smell, bite through, and swallow.
Many animals that consume the bait develop immunity, helping build a protective barrier across populations.
The bait is generally considered safe for pets and tested in many non-target species.
The USDA's Wildlife Services has been running this since 1995. Without the bait program, raccoon rabies very likely would have spread much further west.
A federal program you've probably never heard of is protecting your pets and your kids by feeding wild animals ravioli from a helicopter.
I hate meeting people who were raised by cool parents. ohhh you grew up listening to your dad’s record collection. fuck you. I had to invent Lou Reed from first principles
