Your landlord wants more money. The grocery store wants more money. The utility company wants more money. Your insurance wants more money. Your subscription services want more money. But when workers ask for higher pay, suddenly everyone acts like that’s unreasonable. People aren’t asking for more just because they want more. The cost of living keeps going up.
Seeing people argue against a 32 hour work week is insane. Y’all need hobbies, friends, sunlight, literally anything outside of work. Life is not supposed to be just work until you die. We really will never revolt because some of y’all are way too brainwashed.
y’all are too young, but jimin used to run the bts_twt account like a fan acc for the other members, so here’s a thread because i refuse to let y’all forget about it

Young women vaccinated against HPV now have close to zero risk of dying from cervical cancer before 30.
Not fewer symptoms. Not better treatment.
Close to zero risk of death.
That is an incredible and extraordinary public health achievement.🥰
Almost every vape in that pile is illegal to sell in America. And a single one of them holds the nicotine of 25 packs of Marlboros.
The vape business in America is a $13 billion industry. Worldwide, it’s pushing $48 billion this year. Only about 45 vape products carry FDA approval for sale in the entire country. Forty-five total. Until earlier this month, all of them were tobacco or menthol only. That changed on May 5. The FDA approved a fruit-flavored vape from a small Los Angeles brand called Glas. None of the brands in that photo, Lost Mary, Geek Bar, RAZ, are on the list. Yet they ended up in a Rockford middle school, in a pile this size.
The whole pipeline runs through one Chinese city. Factories in Shenzhen shipped at least $10 billion worth of vapes to the US in 2025, according to China’s own customs data. American import records caught only a tiny slice of that. The rest comes in labeled as toys or electronics to slip past customs agents at the border.
Two private Chinese companies are behind almost every device in that pile. Lost Mary and Elf Bar both come off the same production line at a Shenzhen company called iMiracle. Geek Bar and RAZ are made by another Shenzhen company, Geek Vape. Elf Bar alone is the favorite vape of 36% of all American teenagers who vape, per the CDC’s most recent youth survey.
Pick one out of the pile. A typical large disposable holds 650mg of nicotine. One device delivers the nicotine of 350 to 500 cigarettes, or 18 to 25 packs of Marlboros, all stuffed into something the size of a highlighter. The flavor is what hides it. Blue raspberry slushie, peach mango ice, cotton candy. There’s no harsh ashtray taste to make a kid put it down. The hit just feels like candy.
The FDA has been pushing back. In one 2025 raid, they seized $86.5 million worth of illegal vapes, their biggest single bust ever. The DOJ pulled another 2 million devices in a nationwide sweep that September. Yet illegal vapes still make up between 60% and 86% of every vape sold in the country.
Look at the middle of that heap. The small white tin in there is ZYN, a nicotine pouch you tuck under your lip. 68.7% of American teens who use nicotine pouches go with ZYN, according to the CDC.
I know he is the face of the administration. He should be applauded, but we should also acknowledge he has an amazing team of really smart people. No one does what he does alone. People were ready for him to fail but he has proven that a lot of these politicians could do this but they refuse.
In 2012 i was diagnosed with a deadly blood disorder known as TTP. I was in the hospital for a month. A white nurse almost killed me because she thought i was drug seeking. I kept telling her my central line in my groin was hurting& she wouldn’t give me any morphine just Tylenol.
I went septic later on that night because of the central line. I went into SVT and had to go to cardiac ICU for a week. I was 18. My TTP flared up again in 2016 and i went to the ER. I told the (white) doctor that i had TTP and that i needed to be admitted. He had my records right in front of him. I was just there 4 years earlier, the same hospital diagnosed me.
He told me that i didn’t have TTP…i had ITP. He sent me home with steroids and pain meds. I cried and cried and sat at home all weekend until i could get to my hematologist. I called them and they had me come in immediately. Got labs drawn…my hemoglobin and platelets were VERY low. They did a direct admit: I had to get 14 bags of platelets and 3 bags of blood. My hematologist and his NP told me if i would’ve waited any longer i would’ve died.
More recently in 2022 i went to a freestanding ED because i thought i had the flu. I was in pain, my blood pressure was elevated, i had a fever. I told the black NP that i have TTP and asked them to do a cbc and ADAMTS13 level if they could. I got pain meds, waited for the (white) doc to come and see me. He told me ny labs were “fine” and that i just had a stomach virus. I didn’t believe that so i asked him what my platelet count was. He told me 30k (normal platelet count in non chemo patients are 150k-400k) i almost lost my shit on him.
He went back and further with me for 10 minutes about how i wasn’t having a TTP flare up and i told him to call the fucking hospital that I’m usually treated at and find me a bed. He begrudgingly did it. He came back not even 10 minutes later and said that the hospital i usually go to was full (it was around Christmas time) but after the on call hematologist at the level 1 trauma center downtown saw my blood work they wanted me to come in IMMEDIATELY. Hematologist told me if i would’ve waited any longer i would’ve been dead before Christmas.
Every time that I’ve almost died it was either at the hands of a white nurse or doctor. They don’t take our pain or complaints seriously! They think we are drug addicts. I literally became a nurse because of this. We need black doctors. That lawsuit is just a bunch of fucking racists who are mad. Fuck them.
Abel Potenciano is 64 years old and a grandfather.
He just spent days in a police station helping detectives solve the brutal murder of his own daughter.
The moment he finished his statement, the same officers he trusted to find her killer handed him over to ICE.
He has no criminal record and has built a life here for over 30 years, raising four U.S. citizen children.
Because of a 1997 administrative deportation order, the system weaponized a father’s grief to facilitate an arrest.
When helping the police catch a murderer ends with a one-way ticket to a detention center, the system isn't protecting the public—it’s ensuring that the next witness stays silent.
If a 64-year-old grandfather can’t report his daughter’s murder without being hunted by the people he’s helping, why would anyone ever call 911 again?

Mossad booby‑trapped 21,000 communication devices with explosives, sent them to Lebanon through shell companies, and detonated them remotely — killing dozens (including children) and injuring over 3,400.
• The devices exploded in people's hands, on their faces, and in their pockets.
• They did it over two consecutive days.
• On day two, the explosives went off while Lebanese families were at the funerals of those killed the day before.
• The attack inflicted roughly 3,000 injuries in a single hour on the first day alone.
This terrorist attack was the largest simultaneous mass‑detonation in history by the number of individual bombs.
'israelis' joke about it to this day.
If you didn't boycott Apple for the Congo, boycott it now.

A man couldn’t pay his rent. So he ALLOWED his landlord and landlord’s relative to rape his WIFE and his 13 yo MINOR DAUGHTER.
Men aren’t just useless they’re fucking sick and disgusting to the core. I’m fucking livid.
They teach you about how much evil Hitler was in the 20th century while leaving out how Germany wiped out more than 80% of Namibians before even WWI
Germany only officially recognized it as a genocide in 2021, more than a century later, with no reparations and re-education
Today marks the 78th anniversary of the Nakba (catastrophe), during which more than 750,000 Palestinians were expelled and over 400 villages were destroyed to establish the State of Israel.
