  • I did the same with mine – prepared for the worst, but pleasantly surprised:

    WHAT IS THE FILTER PAPER MADE OF THAT YOU USE IN YOUR TEA BAGS?

    The filter paper used for Yamamotoyama tea bags is made from 100% cellulose fibers (wood). Test results conclude that chlorine dioxide is not present in our tea bag filter paper. The filter paper is not coated with the compound epichlorohydrin, and does not contain any free epichlorohydrin. Yamamotoyama tea bag filter paper is machine folded and pressed, therefore no glue is needed or used. Our teabags are completely compostable.


  • I think the distinction here is a Harris presidency would at least pretend to if not actually put effort toward resolving the conflict with less bloodshed because some of the Democrat base wants that, even if it’s only symbolic and maintains the status quo and of Israel as a “strategic partner/asset”. Blinken was just on NPR explaining where their efforts have been directed (surrounded by non-answers, take it as you will), not taking into account how effective they were. We can fully expect a Trump admin to encourage Bibi’s efforts at rejecting a two-state solution or any kind of Palestinian sovereignty, and make it even harder to end the conflict in the future because Bibi wants to drag out the suffering as long as possible because that’s a key reason he’s in power. This is how I interpret it, and I believe any kind of equivalency between the two is overly cynical, which you can feel free to disagree with. If Trump’s admin somehow has a part in ending the conflict, I’d be surprised if any Palestinians make it out on the other side, and they’ll tout that as a win.
