Brookings: The true Costs of the Tulsa Race Massacre, 100 Years LaterOn May 19, 107-year-old Viola Fletcher visited Washington, D.C. to testify before Congress in its hearing for the centennial of Tulsa, Okla. race massacre. “I’m here seeking justice and I’m asking my country to acknowledge what happened in Tulsa in 1921,” Fletcher, a survivor of the massacre, said. 2021 marks 100 years since the infamous 1921 massacre in Tulsa, in which white mobs unleashed violence against the city’s Black people, Black institutions, and Black wealth. An estimated 300 people were killed and approximately 35 acres of commercial and residential property within the Greenwood District—known as Black Wall Street—were destroyed.

When Eisenhower was Presidentnent, Small Farms were encouraged to rotate thaie crops and the leave one field fallow for livestock and naturaly protect plants and animals. Now factory farms are one crop farms, which require more and more fertilizers, ant-biononic, spraysing to protect anaginst weeds, infections, soil depletion, etc.. Now Warning: Factory Farms are a Threat to Life!!

8 Ways Factory Farming Is Destroying the Environment in 2026 — And What You Can Do About It Industrial animal agriculture produces more greenhouse gas emissions than the entire global transportation sector combined. It consumes 70% of the world’s freshwater. It has driven more species extinctions than any other human activity. And it generates more untreated waste than the entire human population of the United States produces in a year. None of this is contested science. All of it is documented by the UN Food and Agriculture Organization, the EPA, and peer-reviewed research going back decades. What is contested — or rather, strategically obscured — is the connection between these facts and individual food choices. The factory farming industry has spent enormous resources creating the impression that its environmental impact is an abstraction, something for governments and corporations to address, not individual consumers. That framing is convenient and inaccurate. Every person who reduces or eliminates animal product consumption directly reduces demand that sustains the industry. Key Takeaways

Animal agriculture is responsible for an estimated 14.5% of global greenhouse gas emissions according to the UN Food and Agriculture Organization — more than all transportation combined
Factory farms in the US produce 500 million tons of animal waste annually — with no treatment infrastructure equivalent to what human waste requires
80% of Amazon deforestation is driven by animal agriculture — primarily cattle ranching and soy cultivation for animal feed
Industrial livestock uses 80% of all US agricultural land while providing only 20% of the country’s calories
Switching to a plant-based diet reduces an individual’s food-related carbon footprint by approximately 50%

When the Media Monopoly Reports ‘Farmers are Missing Fertilizers’ due to the Iran War, Is is Newspeak for ‘Fertilizer Dependant Industrial Farms are Missing Fertilisers’: Middle East Conflict Revives Concerns Over Fertilizer Dependence in the U.S. and Brazil U.S Reliance on External Fertilizers The United States has a strong domestic fertilizer industry, supplying nearly 60% of its demand for the primary macronutrients: nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K). Even so, it remains exposed to major supply disruptions and sharp increases in fertilizer prices. In 2025, the U.S. imported 95% of its potash requirements, up from 93% in 2021, before the Russia-Ukraine war began (see farmdoc daily, March 17, 2022). From 2021 to 2024, Canada supplied 79% of the potash used in the United States, followed by Russia at 12% and Israel at 3% (see Figure 1).

Chris Hedges: Israel’s Suicidal Rupture with the U.S. Israel is turning on its last important ally in an act of suicidal hubris. Israel is sabotaging the negotiations with Iran and alienating its last important ally by refusing to halt its attacks on Lebanon and withdraw from its occupation of the south. It is determined to reignite a regional conflagration that could see Iran perpetually close the Strait of Hormuz and plunge the global economy into a global depression. And it continues its genocide in Gaza.
