“That's taxpayer’s money that is going to support research and development and pilot projects to develop a food system that is based on environmental destruction and greed and disregard for animals, fish, and any of the other marine mammals that might be around it.” - Andrianna Natsoulas Andrianna Natsoulas is the campaign director for Don't Cage Our Oceans, an organization that exists to keep our oceans free from industrial fish farms. Offshore finfish farming is the mass cultivation of finfish in marine waters, in underwater or floating net pens, pods, and cages. Offshore finfish farms are factory farms that harm public health, the environment, and local communities and economies that rely on the ocean and its resources. Don’t Cage Our Oceans are a coalition of diverse organizations working together to stop the development of offshore finfish farming in the United States through federal law, policies, and coalition building. And, although it is not yet happening, right now the US Administration and Congress are promoting this kind of farming, which would be nothing short of disastrous for the oceans, the planet and the people and animals who live here. dontcageouroceans.org…

I start discussing a very tiring and scary double ER trip for two out of three of my kids in a FIVE day span. I segue to the Roe V. Wade decision and express the outrage of men controlling women's bodies and the Republicans stacking the deck in the SCOTUS. BUT, I take an angle on the driver of Roe V. Wade that I dont hear discussed often and relate it ot a lot of conservative politics in general.

(9:10-14:16) The first topic we kick off is around the New York Yankees, Josh Donaladson and Chicago White Sox shortstop, Tim Anderson.
