Not really surprising when all food is so processed and pumped full of all kinds of bullshit, from high fructose corn syrup to preservatives to you name it.

Fun anecdote - I moved to Europe from the states a year back, and lost almost 20 pounds in that time without explicitly doing anything different. Just from the better food quality, and walking more in daily life (walkable cities and good public transportation!)

This is a shit ruling that punishes American citizens as much as immigrants, by preventing them from legalizing their wives and husbands. What are you supposed to do if you fall in love with someone who happens to be undocumented? Fuck you, I guess?

Thank god he's old, then, because he's not going to last long enough to be long time dictator. But maybe thats not the point, even if trump is gone, if hardcore republicans dismantle elections to ensure they're perpetually in power, then who the current figurehead is will be the least of our problems

And 56% in favor of legalizing weed. Which is exactly why they raised the threshold for ballot measures to pass.

Isn’t Jill Stein effectively a republican asset at this point? Like not just a spoiler candidate but one actively funded by the right?
