    #Alfalfa is not the enemy. It’s actually a beneficial legume. The article says “Cattle-feed #crops, like alfalfa, consume 90% of all water used by Upper Basin agriculture.” So it’s not just alfalfa but includes other crops used for livestock feed.

    In arid and semi-arid areas of the US, there are always trade-offs and pressures as to whom benefits from the limited #water supplies. In the end, some irrigated crops may come up short.

    Why does the Senate fail to regard the testimony of individuals like #AnitaHill and #ChristineBlaseyFord as credible and disqualifying, and consequently refuse to confirm the justices involved?

    Do we need to elect more women to the #Senate?

  3. Apparently the far-right fringe is now furious that they can’t file all their cases in Amarillo and get guaranteed nationwide rulings. It won’t totally eliminate #judgeshopping but is a step in the right direction.

    The problem you nicely illustrated is that the gun industry is marketing the AR15 to gun fetishists and angry young males who have bad intentions. The high-capacity magazines are unnecessary as hunters and sportsmen don't (or shouldn't) need them.

  8. Just a couple thoughts about the #14thAmendment (Section 3) case now being heard by #SCOTUS.

    1/
    I heard someone today opine that #SCOTUS could rule that each state may decide who should be on their ballots. There is an #originalist flaw in this line of reasoning.

    The historical record makes it clear that the #14thAmendment was crafted and intended to prevent former secessionists and confederate politicians from representing their rebellious states in national and state elected offices.

    “If rumors about the contents of the draft proposal are true,..”
    What??? This statement is NONSENSE! Being part of the negotiations, #GOP #SpeakerJohnson knows exactly what the proposals are. What a cowardly comment!

  12. Wealthy individuals from around the world posted an open letter urging countries to increase taxes on the rich which will provide needed resources for the public good.

    “This will not fundamentally alter our standard of living, nor deprive our children, nor harm our nations’ economic growth. But it will turn extreme and unproductive private wealth into an investment for our common democratic future. “

    “There’s a growing sense among foreign diplomats that moral or national security arguments — about defending a country unjustly invaded, deterring Russia, preventing a bigger war in Europe and safeguarding democracy — don’t work on the American far-right.”

    Read it all.

  17. Diplomats from America’s allies are alarmed at the political dysfunction in the US. A must read if you care about #nationalsecurity.

    ‘The U.S. is a “fat buffalo trying to take a nap” as hungry wolves approach, the envoy mused. “I can hear those Champagne bottle corks popping in Moscow — like it’s Christmas every fucking day.” ‘

    “Gun violence doesn’t originate at the schoolhouse door, and it won’t be solved there. Our policy making and political rhetoric urgently need to reflect that reality. Instead, elected officials have made communities less safe by under-funding social spending and school programming that contributes to community health and safety while expanding access and availability of firearms.”

    This hostage-taking by #russia is unacceptable and countries whose citizens have been kidnapped need to step up the pressure.

    I have long felt that the Ewoks of Star Wars were possibly based on the Athsheans of “The Word for World is Forest.” I have no proof but there are some strong similarities.
