#ResistanceEarth Would you like some fire retardant with your fish? A chemical called ethoxyquin is added to fish meal to reduce the risk of fires. More than half the seafood eaten worldwide is farmed, and most species eat fish meal treated with ethoxyquin. insideclimatenews.org/news/1410202...

Every Dem should campaign with "Every Republican is complicit with everything Trump does. They can stop him today, yesterday, last week, tomorrow. They could pull funding from the federal agencies he's stealing from, they can impeach him. And they don't."
