Ok, that's not what you said though. "Rotting" meat is what you said. We have federal standards to prevent that from happening.
In other countries, nitrates, celery, or salt are the anti oxidants. "Rotting" and oxidation aren't the same. All you apply to this is "chemical bad" š. "Organic" cured products get meat cured with celery juice= Higher nitrates than just sodium nitrate. Use of C02 enables less salt additives.
First off, glyphosate is an herbicide, not a pesticide. Those are two wildly different chemical terms with completely different meanings-- and yes, it is water soluble. Who doesn't know what now?
There's no conclusive evidence to support that. The cancer study most people refer to was funded by an activist lobbyist group. People worldwide moved here to study STEM because we had some of the best labs and in the world. US literally set nearly a century of standard on med + chemistry research.
Their hands aren't tied. They are either complicit with everything that is going on, or they are utter cowards. Neither is acceptable. Quit and work doors @ Costco if you can't serve your constituents. You might not get the job, though. Seems they have higher standards for service than Congress.
And it's astounding that congress could literally stop all this like right now. Today. Acting like this is all out of their hands.
Being nearly 80 and a steady diet of garbage is a kind of a sledgehammer
>also encourages giving extreme emergency powers to leadership that transforms a democratic Republic into an empire I'm also sorry
And delete or lockdown your meta accounts. They will be the new Stasi soon.
No, it won't be like that. It will be constant spying and surveillance of your bank account, purchase history, activity via your mobile phone, medical info, and political donations. Think Orwell and start looking at ways to protect your privacy.
Palantir has been a DoD contractor as well as with the CIA, FBI, and DOJ for years now. They are currently in surveillance and data gathering tech worldwide. If you want to be really horrified, look up Project Maven.
Wilczy Bilet-- "Wolf's Tickets" are absolutely being tested by this admin in these recent denials of visas/social security. In 1980s Poland, these were effectively documents that denied your right to work or study because of your political views. This is the kind of "Martial Law" to actually watch.
Probably the big ass pool of whatever the hell the red stuff is and the pile of whatever the other stuff is. And I don't think any of it is good.
a bunch of these EOs are miller, 100%. Also... idk if anyone else thinks this but Stephen Miller looks like a guy whose version of "makes love" is making a woman lie in a tub full of ice and staying perfectly motionless š¦
I grew up Mormon therefore isolated from most of Christianity; but the more I learn about history and different sects of it, the more I feel like Calvinism was a mistake
He's a eugenicist. He loves this. If you haven't listened to @iwriteok.bsky.social on Behind the Bastards' deep dive, everyone should probably do that.
Hey um @maddow.msnbc.com @chrislhayes.bsky.social @bitchuationroom.bsky.social just a little concerned
uhm I love your hatching style.
Hey so uh, maybe we should peep the google maps image of this interesting part of the complex of buildings where Abrego Garcia is being held? #Garcia #ICE #ElSalvador
It's not a radical new concept that it's dumb and cringe to be a bigoted piece of shit. Never stop pointing that out. Fear gives them power; ridicule gives them nightmares about their dad not loving them and that one time a girl didn't wanna fuck
It's actually okay to stop being polite & just point and laugh at the fash, mom said it was ok. Treat them how the entire internet treats Elon now. It works. These dweebs never grew out of lying about being a blackbelt and they are losers that deserve the world's largest crowdsourced wedgie
I match energy. "I just got out of a black magic abortion orgy! Would you like a haunted torture crystal?"
When you're in an abusive relationship, an abuser often starts out as the picture of charm and safety. When they're sure you're invested, they start to withdraw, and mix hurting you with little scraps of affection to try to make you beg for their approval. They they gaslight you if you question.
Honestly? I think it's just a lie to string the base along that the jobs and money are coming back. They "love-bombed" their cult in the first term, now they're doing the withdraw/manipulate part so that people start fighting for approval. Classic coercive control/abuse tactic. It's all bad faith.
Worth mentioning: it's a cult. Cult members leave(hi I'm someone who left a cult)but they're not gonna do it because you're dropping citations. YOU care about those. They don't. They have to figure it out thenselves. Don't interrupt them while they learn touching the hot stove of bigotry burns.
And they're gonna use you calling them weird and gross against you, calling you the "intolerant" one and claim you're aggressive, violent and mean. Fucking LET THEM. They were always going to hate you. Responding to bigotry with anything other than LOUD, angry disgust and mockery normalizes it.
It's not anyone's job to prove it to them. Reason and logic don't work on fascists, because they don't believe in pesky things like compassion. Those things are important to you and me. This is the only "take" anyone should have: It's weird and gross to hate Americans being happy and having rights.
Dude couldn't lead a group of children to a fenced area on a field trip without fucking something up
Disclose your stock purchases then :)
incredible vocal control tho
That's my home state! We've always been purple. We're sick of MAGA tourists moving in and ruining stuff because they watched Yellowstone and want to play cowboy.
These are people that are afraid to interact with the poors, is what it really is
What have YOU done while all this happens, and citizens are kidnapped by masked goons and denied due process? You need to resign.
The actual historical Nazis also believed in insanely stupid shit and conspiracy theories. "In conversation with him, one virtually feels that one is dealing not at all with him as a person, but with slogans, catchwords, and the like that have taken possession of him" -Dietrich Bonhoeffer
And heroin. Don't forget heroin. Listen to @iwriteok.bsky.social Behind The Bastards episodes about RFK. Spoiler: the brain worms won
Go fash, lose cash :)
Phone banked with @indivisible.org for WI Supreme court today. I had one interesting call with a Republican-leaning man who said he was voting for Crawford because he didn't like the direction the Rs were going-- also was extremely passionate about ranked choice voting. The doubters exist, ya'll.
It Could Happen Here via @coolzonemedia.bsky.social just did an amazing piece on gamers turning on him. Most press is only vaguely aware that gaming is the largest/fastest growing entertainment industry on earth +a hotbed of recruiting for the alt right. I guarantee he is butthurt about it.
People respond to ācall your Senatorā with ābut mine are both Republicans.ā Precisely. The only way anything will change is with PRESSURE. Signalgate is a serious breach & display of lying & incompetence at the highest levels. Call them! 202-224-3121 www.armed-services.senate.gov/about/member...
Passwords of US senior security officials found by a German newspaper. Just floating around on God's own internet for anyone. www.spiegel.de/internationa...
Call your reps. Doesn't matter which side they're on-- call them. They need to be hearing this from everyone. Investigations, not tepid questioning and beating around the bush.
Resignation? Not far enough. No, no no. They need to be charged. They violated federal laws. These were not mistakes, they were crimes.
This isn't a "mistake"-- it's a crime. I was once engaged to a Naval officer. I saw some of his buddies get court marshaled over way less. Every single person who has ever served knows they would be in deep shit if they did this. Do laws not apply to them? He's lying.
Yeah the zero tolerance policies at schools are a terrible aspect of this. Both kids will get punished even if it's one beating up another and the victim defending themselves. That and you can look at nearly every conflict in history and see that responding to aggressors with peace usually loses.
Plus like you need a magnifying glass to see it on someone, what's even the point
It's Monday in America and everyone hates Mondays, so we decided to let our drunk guy leak military secrets, as a treat *internal screaming* Anyway here's an old study in Procreate I did from Game Of Thrones of Sansa Stark
I had a bully from elementary school to high school; almost a decade of abuse. When I had finally had enough, I punched my bully in the face. I definitely didn't win that battle, but I won the war. They never bothered me or spoke to me again.
Chuck Schumer's brother is a partner at the law firm that just bent the knee for Trump and is paying with 40 million in free work for Trump. Just saying.
I haven't posted any art in awhile. Here's a film still study I did in procreate from Alien, probably my favorite sci fi horror film of all time. It cracks me up how a lot of people think it's Frodo, but I can see it :P
Call/email your senators. Tell them to replace Schumer as minority leader. They could do it tomorrow if they wanted to. We need real leadership not feckless capitulation. It doesn't matter if Chuck doesn't want to step down if dem senators vote to replace him. Make them want to take that action.
I listen to a LOOOT of history podcasts but BTB is the one I tell all my friends about. Learning how absolutely fucking unhinged the French Monarchy was (door scratching coke nails!?!) helps me cope with today's horrors. Like actually, people have always been a real problem
a lot of my kin are afraid they will now be treated the way communities of color are on a Tuesday
"He's not just a regular moron. He's the product of the greatest minds of a generation working together with the express purpose of building the dumbest moron who ever lived. And you just put him in charge of the entire facility." -GLaDOS relevant
Hey authors-- it was crickets and "but I'm too broke" when some of us illustrators told you that they would be coming for you too when you used genAI for your covers. Welcome to the club. Are you gonna stand with us now?
After yesterday's betrayal, I won't be giving a single penny to any dem that isn't @aoc.bsky.social , @jasmineforus.bsky.social or anyone without a forward agenda for workers. Americans are tired of the status quo. We want a future that isn't just about maintaining it and "getting back to normal".
This isn't business as usual. We are at war with fascism. Itās inside our borders. If you canāt see that and act accordingly, you need to be replaced with leaders that can.
It's like some of the establishment dem leadership completely forgot about all their messaging to us and asking for donations the last year that "democracy is on the line this election" We didn't, and we sure as hell notice when the boot is now in your fuckin' mouth
I'm a native Montanan and this made me tear up yesterday. Thank you.
Depending on the the emotion you want to evoke, lighting is the key to selling the vibes.
It's the best when you are old enough to remember when streaming services at their inception billed themselves as a superior, agile alternative to cable and directTV because you would pay a small subscription to never see an ad. Now you pay even more money and still get ads!
It is already normal. The only ones who think 30s is "too old" for anything are younger or deeply insecure people. Your 30s is when you starting to become who you were always meant to be.
I think it's important to remember, with everything extremely fucked up and dumb right now, that at the root of it, fuck fuck fucking fucking fuck.
Millennials need to run for officesāschool boards, state, local, all of it! We are the generation best suited to handle social media and the internet. We grew up without it and adapted as it evolved, while older gens are clueless and most younger folks are fully manipulated by it after web 2.0
For no particular reason, I would like to remind everyone that pigeon food is cheap, and pigeons are abundant, hungry creatures in virtually every town in America. They also shit everywhere. š I hope this information is helpful for anyone wanting to help animals in uh, specific places.
You should invest in a social media alternative to FB and Tiktok. That's why we are where we are.
I grew up an hour from Yellowstone. If I could make the drive from the coast I would be there in a heartbeat. Thank you all. My late dad used to insist we "take the scenic route" through the park instead of the freeway on the way to my grandparents' in UT every summer. I will never forget.
Standing up to monsters is hard. I'm proud of you. <3
I am all out of tears; all I have left is rage. Every American in the last 70+ years grew up fearing we might one day be nuked off the map. For this? There is NO strategic benefit. The majority of the EU is wealthier than Russia. CALIFORNIA is wealthier than Russia. I stand with Ukraine.
Obeying in advance is also giving up in advance. We are a threatened democracy, but we are still a democracy for now. I was a young adult during the tea party movement. This is how they captured power across the country: by starting from the bottom. We can do that too, and to survive, we must.
Once again, I am asking the people who doom about "no more elections" to either sit down or pony the fuck up and run for something, because locally, there very much still are. County, state, city, township, school boards. Don't wait for mid terms. runforsomething.net
5) "Ludlow, a canvas community of 900 souls, was riddled with machine guns shooting 400 bullets a minute. Then the tents were burned. The site is private property leased by the miners' union, which has supported the colony seven months."
4) The Ludlow Massacre was a watershed moment in American labor relations. Socialist historian Howard Zinn described it as "the culminating act of perhaps the most violent struggle between corporate power and laboring men in American history"
3) 21 people, including miners' wives and children, were killed. John D. Rockefeller Jr., founder of Standard Oil, was a part-owner of CF&I who had recently appeared before a United States congressional hearing on the strikes, was blamed widely for orchestrating the massacre.
2) Some of the earliest fights against these monopolies came in the form of labor strikes. in 1914, the Colorado National Guard and private guards employed by Colorado Fuel and Iron Company attacked a tent colony of roughly 1,200 striking coal miners and their families in Ludlow, Colorado.
More Gilded Age art. Standard Oil was one of the earliest mega monopolies of American industry. In 1904, Standard Oil controlled 91% of oil refinement and 85% of final sales in the US. Criticism from journalists and politicians alike would eventually birth of the antitrust movement.
There are city and county level positions as well. Check runforsomething.net
As an artist myself, I'm just going to keep sharing art from the Gilded Age, and let it speak for itself.
Yes. Everyone is focused on "two years" from now, but there is an election somewhere in this country every week. Municipal and county positions! Schools! It all matters.

Robert Reich is helping me keep my head on straight lately.
If you are experiencing rage and despair about what is happening in America and the world right now because of the Trump-Vance-Musk regime, you are hardly alone. But a groundswell of opposition is growing. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/ten-reasons-for-optimism
"From the Depths" by William Balfour Ker, 1906
Pritzker: If we donāt want to repeat history, then for godās sake, in this moment, we better be strong enough to learn from it.
If you need some inspiration for this moment, Americans, look up the Polish Solidarity movement. I wrote a paper about it fairly recently for a class, by interviewing a close family friend's parent. Her father was a journalist there at the time. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History...
The ABA is a voluntary bar. It has no power of its own. What power it wields is soft power through organization, lobbying, and speech. The power to license and regulate attorneys is with the state bars and courts. People should be filing bar complaints against unethical attorneys.
He's in the same weird AI daddy accelerationist cult
Please don't perpetuate a discourse of hopelessness. Maintain the conviction that a president is answerable to the courts. If he tries to dismiss them, any resistance will be better off coming from a public that expects justice. Call. Write. Sit on lawns. Make good trouble.
I don't think he's an idiot, though. He's a graduate of one of the most prestigious law schools in the country. I think he's just evil.
Why say he "doesn't understand"? He absolutely understands. He's lying.
Oh my goodness, these are perfect.
Every single MAGA woman thinks she's Beth Dutton from Yellowstone. Remind them that they're Becky at Wal-Mart, and they don't know how to blend their contour.
I'm mad it took this long for them to consider that maybe breaking everything was their plan all along(they even made it into a 900-page pamphlet)and they should have done this to begin with, but yes, more of this
For people asking for non-meta options Iāll be posting clips tomorrow
