I hate that this needs to be said, i also hate that i’m saying this. I do not support biden at all. He is a despicable excuse for a human being. However the truth is: a third party candidate CANNOT WIN THE ELECTION. If we do not vote for biden then PROJECT 2025 WILL HAPPEN, the conservatives will genocide every single individual who doesn’t believe what they do. It will be WORSE than the handmade tale. They will make the Spanish Inquisition seem like a pleasure cruise. Iran will look positively tame. It will usher in another dark age. Please do not let your attitude at biden allow trump to win. Vote blue.

trump supporters: "What about the people on Epstein's lists?"
I'm guessing that excludes trump himself in their eyes somehow, having been close to and praising Epstein before this shit came out, and being in the documents many times.
Trump in 2016: "I'm gonna put Hillary Clinton in prison!"
Trump supporters: "Yeah! Fuck that bitch! Lock her up and throw away the key!"
Trump in 2024: *is found guilty of crime*
Trump supporters: Nooooo these liberals are lying and cheating!!! 😭😭😭😭😭
Hey guys, I know there are a lot of really severe tragedies in the world right now and I in no way desire to push those aside, nor do I really want to load another thing onto people's plates, but anyone here in the US needs to be aware that on March 11, 2024, an agricultural company known as NEW Cooperative spilled 265,000 gallons (1500 tons) of liquid nitrogen fertilizer into the East Nishnabotna River. This is the ecological equivalent of dropping a nuclear weapon into the river. Over a 60 mile stretch downstream of the spill its been a near total ecological wipeout for the river. So far, an estimate of 850,000 fish have been killed from this spill, and that's to say nothing for the insects, amphibians, reptiles and birds that relied on or lived in this river. It is literally filled with animal corpses. This river flows into the Missouri River and the impacts will likely continue to spread far past this 60 mile stretch. And this disaster has barely made local tv in Iowa, let alone national tv, despite the fact that 60 miles of river ecosystem were just wiped out in a way that may be impossible to recover from. And what's the punishment for this heinous act of destruction through negligence, you might ask? As it stands, its looking like a 6k fine from the DNR to the company. Not 600k. Not 60k. 6000 dollars. The maximum fine that the DNR can charge in Iowa is 10k unless they decide to take it further in court. That's why these spills are so frequent in Iowa: it's literally cheaper to eat the fines than it is to bother properly storing fertilizer. I don't know exactly what the proper course of action is here, or who needs to be contacted to enact change--I'm hoping someone more knowledgeable than me will chime in with that information--but at the very least, every one of us should know. Every one of us should make sure we don't forget this. And every one of us should blacklist NEW Cooperative fertilizer unilaterally.
