    An American oil company connected to Donald Trump is preparing to sink wells in remote Greenland despite not having received permission from the local authorities.

    Taylor Farms was founded in 1995 by Bruce Taylor, a third-generation lettuce grower in Salinas, California. He is a lifelong Republican and Trump supporter. Taylor Farms reports $7 billion in annual revenue, more than 25,000 employees (U.S. and Mexico) and 165 million servings of produce/week. It has repeatedly been found responsible for pathogen outbreaks and received nothing but slaps on the wrist. Trump shields Taylor Farms and Taco Bell, as thousands are poisoned https://www.wsws.org/en/art...

    Barack Obama would retreat alone to the Treaty Room on the second floor of the White House residence—not to plot strategies, not to take calls, but to handwrite personal letters to ten ordinary American citizens every single night, a practice he maintained with almost monastic devotion throughout all eight full years, personally selecting the letters himself from the 40,000 that arrived daily at the White House.

    A court nullified a statewide election result because of procedural technicalities — while Republican redistricting in Texas, Florida, Tennessee, and Alabama sailed through with no such scrutiny. #gerrymandering If you&amp;#39;re devastated: that&amp;#39;s the correct response.

    &amp;quot;The systems that made the United States a superpower cannot be rebuilt as they were, nor should they be: they involved structural injustices that made the present attempt at self-annihilation possible. From where we stand now there are two ways forward: one is the self-induced downfall of the American republic; the other is to reconsider American ideals and to restructure American politics so as to bring the people greater power over a more just future.&amp;quot; ~ Timothy Snyder
