Dairy farmers say that regenerative farming has brought back the bees and increased profits.

Regenerative farming is essentially farming in a way that regenerates soil health.

After decades of intensive, monoculture farming, many farms have degraded the microbes and other living things found in their soil. Now more and more farmers are transitioning to regenerative methods (such as planting multiple types of plants together) and seeing beneficial results.

The extra bonus is that these methods create a varied landscape of plants and flowers that are great for bee populations.

“Ultimately, to move into the 21st century, to be able to cope with the big challenges we have we need a healthier soil base.”

I know I’ve been posting about this too much, but honestly this Bloomberg shit is kind of breaking me.

The fact that anyone anyone claiming to be a democrat is supporting him is such mask-off shit. Bloomberg escalated stop-and-frisk and got black and brown people thrown in jail for nothing. His NYPD had a “demographics unit” that spied on Muslims. He has 64 sexual harassment accusations against him (for horrible context, even fucking Trump has less at 48.) His policies as mayor of NYC were horrible and discriminatory. He is ON THE RECORD saying horribly racist shit about how he ran the NYPD, about how much he hates trans people, about how much he does not respect women as full humans. He is one of the very very few people in this country that might actually be as evil as Trump.

And yet somehow he’s an acceptable democratic candidate now? Somehow he’s not everything the party is supposed to stand against? Somehow if you point out how racist and sexist and generally awful he is, if you point out he was a republican only a few goddamn years ago, you’re hurting the democratic party? You’re being divisive, and actually you’re the racist sexist for pointing out how horrible this racist sexist is! Because we have to beat Trump, and we can do that by replacing him with someone functionally identical to him! VoTe BlUe No MaTtEr WhO!!

Like, I know that the centrist mainstream democratic party abandoned people of color and queer people and the working class a long time ago. I know that the core of the party is MLK’s famous white moderate, that they don’t care about helping people so much as looking like they’re helping people. I know,

After all, you can’t get billionaire donors by actually representing the material interests of the people you claim to care about.

But this Bloomberg thing makes it so clear. So fucking clear.

So clear I kind of can’t fucking take it.

Centrist democrats don’t see us as people so much as voting demographics they have an inherent lock on. After all, what are we going to do? Vote republican? The republicans are so much worse! And obviously yes, they are, holy shit they are…

But Bloomberg is a republican. A racist, sexist, billionaire republican. And if he’s an acceptable democrat now…if centrist democrats see him as more worthy of support than a (fairly tame, let’s be honest) democratic socialist…then fuck…

The democratic party needs to burn. And something new, something better, needs to rise in it’s place.
