Imagine calling George Carlin of all people obscure 🙄.

This isn't true. I wish people would stop saying this. Specifically the banned additives.

The US actually bans slightly more additives than the EU, just different ones. The EU for example allows cyclamates the US doesn't

instead of watching the new harry potter trailer, why not pick up some horror books by trans and nb writers for the trans rights readathon?? there are so many good options.
For example, check out some of these writers:

Toddler boy with dark hair is folding the sides of a cardboard box around him as he sits inside it.

My child has reached the “I fits, I sits“ stage of toddler hood

The most dangerous thing about AI chat bots is how many men with political power treat them *exactly* and unquestioningly like actual Ancient Greek oracles.

I am about half way through this book right now and I am enjoying the hell out of it!

Abolish.

You can’t bodycam this shit.

Abolish must be the hard red line.

FDA Targets Gender-Affirming Garments, Warning Companies that Serve Trans Customers At least 12 companies received letters from the agency stating that the gender-affirming compression garments are medical devices and require compliance with strict federal regulations.

At least 12 companies that make and sell chest binders received letters from the FDA warning that they may be in violation of federal regulations around medical devices.

The business owners @hallielieberman.bsky.social interviewed disagree, with one calling the campaign "transphobia driven.”

RFK is shilling raw milk which is actually harmful but wants to go after these businesses 🤬

These warning letters were also unprecedented as they targeted the Firm’s for not being registered (but no other violations) which never happens. Also typically the next step is a civil money penalty not an injunction or seizure that requires a lot more evidence and rigor.

Caring about your neighbors makes you an activist these days. What the fuck is wrong with this country such that basic human decency is a political position?

Judge: ICE is following none of the rules and court orders supposedly constraining their behavior

Moderate Democrat Lawmakers: What we need is more rules and orders constraining ICE's behaviors

As one of her constituent, drag her!

Before speaking with two armed men at the Pretti vigil last night, a man approached & asked if I was going to tell the truth. I said yes. He told me how frustrated he was at the media & the harm it’s causing to his community.

I asked if he wanted to share words for the media on camera, & he did:

The killing happened about 15 hours ago. Since then:

- MN Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (FBI equivalent) got a warrant for the evidence on the scene
- Tried to execute it
- Were forcibly turned away by feds
- Filed for a temporary restraining order
- TRO granted by the federal district court

Text messages and a moved SUV: How the government’s case against a Chicago woman shot by a Border Patrol agent fell apart | CNN A wide grin was plastered on Marimar Martinez’s face Thursday as she thanked her attorneys outside an Illinois courtroom and told reporters, “I’m just blessed. I’m happy.”

Marimar Martinez was the first US citizen shot by ICE.

They claimed she was a terrorist. Said she was brandishing a weapon.

They lied. Video footage exonerated her and showed the ICE agent shot her five times.

He bragged to other agents “five shots, 7 holes”.

A 🧵 of ICE abuse

There is no such thing as other people’s children It is intolerable

"We are out there in every place they are, showing them that every person in this city is one of our own, that there is no such thing as other people’s children, that collectively we are not afraid of staring them in the eye," @erikhane.bsky.social writes from Minneapolis.

ICE doesn’t care if you are a citizen or not

They don’t care if you have an ID, passport, birth certificate etc

They might not deport you if you are a citizen, but they will kidnap you and then brutalize & traumatize you before dropping you in a different location

Pretti clearly did not brandish his gun. Which means the government is saying he was killed for legally exercising his right to carry.

It’s as clear-cut a violation of the Second Amendment as I can possibly imagine. And we’re about to see the bulk of the gun rights crowd defend his murder.

they're executing moms and nurses in the street. they're using preschoolers as bait. they're stealing people's dads and grandmas and children. they're tear gassing babies. they're staking out schools. there is no remedy but abolition. any proposal that doesn't start there is an act of violence.

Call em about the DHS funding bill. Tell them guardrails aren't solve this because this administration doesn't listen to guardrails. It's abolish and dismantle or they can't reopen the government

‘SINNERS’ has broken history as the MOST-NOMINATED FILM OF ALL TIME at the Oscars with 16 nominations

The actual story is that a family of American citizens trying to evacuate from a neighborhood that ICE had made unsafe, and then ICE tossed munitions into the car, causing three kids to be hospitalized and a six month old to stop breathing. DHS called the family “radical agitators”

Portland Police Press conference on the shooting of 2 Portlanders:

-DHS said the victims had been involved with a shooting. Nope!

-But they were def part of Tren de Aragua

-actually no

-But TdA is real and active in Portland

-We can't name single crime TdA has been involved with in this city

For those keeping score, Bellingcat, The New York Times Visual Investigation Team, & Washington Post's Visual Forensic team have all published analysis showing the ICE shooter wasn't in the path of Renee Nicole Good’s vehicle when he shot her, contradicting statements by the President & his cronies

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has stated that the 1918 flu pandemic was caused by a lab virus from vaccine research, a defective influenza vaccine. Let’s analyze what a lie this is. First, in 1918, 107 years ago, virology was in its infancy

If you’re wondering why your friends in academia are a little on edge right now, it’s because an eighteen-year-old who hasn’t done the reading, doesn’t look at the assignment, and has does no critical thinking skills more complex than “because I think it’s in the Bible” can literally end your career
