Truth, health, and freedom

Yesterday’s Supreme Court decision reflects that the capture of government by big industry is nearly complete. It affirmed the right of chemical companies to injure, maim, and even kill you and your children with their pesticides, herbicides, etc., with near complete impunity.

This means you can expect increasingly toxic pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, rodenticides, etc., because the more toxic they are, the better they will kill weeds, pests, etc. And farmers that then use the most effective products, no matter how harmful to humans, will have a competitive advantage. The result will be that the farmer who adopts the most effective products (meaning most toxic) will have the largest crop yield. Other farmers, to compete, will then also be forced to adopt the more harmful product. With that, the race to the bottom has begun.

I expect that in the coming decades we will look back and wish to return to the “safer days” of glyphosate. So, bottom line: your government has abandoned you and your children. Think about this decision: 7 out of 9 Supreme Court judges sided with the chemical company against the public, and Trump’s DOJ intervened in the case on the side of the chemical company. Anyone who thinks this administration cares about you over industry profit is, at this point, delusional.

Shame on the DOJ, shame on the Trump admin, and shame on the Supreme Court for letting chemical companies get away with injuring, maiming, and killing Americans with their products instead of just allowing normal market forces to protect us and our children. Now, in addition to vaccines, we can add pesticides, etc., to the list of products that can injure and kill with near complete immunity.

Below is the decision and, in a nutshell, it holds that failure to warn claims brought under state law (which is the primary type of claim one would bring for harms from a pesticide, herbicide, etc.) are preempted by the EPA-approved label such that, if the harm is not on the label, your claim loses (since EPA didn’t add it to the label as a harm), and if the harm is on the label, your claim loses (since it has been disclosed on the label). Meaning heads or tail they win, and you and your children lose.

A judge sentenced parents to prison for home schooling their children and not teaching them transgender ideology.

Do NOT scroll away because it’s in Brazil. The American government K-12 is setting the foundation for this exact end goal. The Brazil K-12 education system is near identical to ours both in ideology (SEL, mental health programs, queer theory, etc) and timeline.

Let’s take a look at what’s happening here 🧵

Flock cameras are tracking your movement and storing the data for a month.
Here's the truth about the "30-Day Dragnet."
Flock cameras photograph every single car that passes them and then they build a searchable map of your historical movements. Where you work. Where your kids go to school. Who you visit at night. Your favorite places to go during the day and all of your care travel.
Your data is stored for 30 days. If a hacker breaches the system, your entire month of movements is completely exposed. Let’s say you become a threat to the system because you are noncompliant with their rules, your actions are available for any agency to locate.
This is not a safety system. It’s tracking and tracing in real time against law-abiding people.
Stop letting mass surveillance masquerade as "neighborhood safety." Demand your city council audit their camera contracts and remove them.

You’ve got to hear this story.

This is Missy Woods, a DNA analyst in CO who was discovered to have manufactured, deleted, and falsely reported DNA findings in hundreds of criminal cases.

Innocent people are behind bars and criminals are walking the streets because of what she did.

All I can say is get all your shit off the cloud as soon as possible.

[Jessica Rojas 🇺🇸💪 @VoicesUnheard]

When I fled an abusive monster 500 miles away to North Carolina, an anonymous prepaid phone saved my life, literally..

It was my only shield.

Now the FCC wants to kill that lifeline for every survivor by forcing ID + a physical address just to buy a prepaid phone.

Payphones are gone. You need a number for jobs, housing, everything.

This is the slow death of privacy, from “for the children” ID checks to biometric iris scans and cameras on every corner.

Your 4th Amendment right “to be secure in your persons, houses, papers, and effects” is being erased 250 years later.

This is an actual high school counselor

She wrote a kid’s book telling kids to find a new family if their parents aren’t accepting of their gender identity

Would you trust her with your kid’s mental health?

This is insane

This story is fucking insane.

This woman should be drawn and quartered on live TV.

[White Girl @WhiteGirl1776]

A pack of blacks surround two White girls sitting on a bench.

One White girl is holding her baby.

The blacks recording are telling the others “take the baby, take the baby, that’s why she not fighting, dam Dey really dat scared to fight, take the baby.” (They think it’s funny)

The black attacks and the baby lands face first on the concrete.

Pay attention to the joy it brought to the black in the blue shirt. He dances in excitement.

What if this was your daughter or grandchild?

The “war on whites” is not a myth.

The ROAD to Housing Act is a progressive nightmare federal power grab. It's escaping proper scrutiny because commentators, opinion leaders and "influencers" are lazy (or worse), and have been charmed by the "affordability" lie and "bipartisanship" byline.

But this bill does not do what they claim. The "corporate ownership" bans are weak, and the "regulation cuts" are negligible.

95% of this bill is Obamas housing & HUD policy on steroids. It's exactly the federal-into-local overreach that so many have fought for so long. There's a reason why the radical left are so angry Trump "paused" on the signing today… this is their bill. It's a DSA wet dream.

NO republican, conservative or libertarian in their right minds should be supporting this. And Trump needs to VETO it immediately.

DETAILS:

Sec. 207 creates a $200 million program to incentivize dense, subsidized “affordable housing” units in our small communities.

Sec. 101 forces housing counseling agencies to provide government-funded legal "help" to tenants facing lawful eviction, effectively subsidizing efforts to derail property rights.

Sec. 106 even establishes a national eviction helpline for the same counterproductive, anti-capitalist purpose.

This bill also provides a three-year reauthorization (with a push for permanence) of the flawed CDBG-DR program, w/ a history of massive delays and pro-urban bias. Disaster relief should be handled strictly by FEMA, not snuck into "housing" bills.

It indefinitely reauthorizes and expands the idiotic HOME grant program.

It authorizes a 7-year expansion of the PRICE program, letting HUD and NGOs buy trailer parks and force below-market rents.

It reauthorizes and dramatically expands the RAD program (up to 100,000 units!), converting properties into long-term Section 8 housing via vouchers.

It does nothing to restrict foreign adversary purchases of American housing stock (unlike efforts in the farm bill).

It fails to make sanctuary jurisdictions ineligible for federal housing grants or to codify Trump’s “mixed status” rule limiting benefits for households with illegal or ineligible residents.

AND it leaves in place the illegal COVID-era eviction moratorium.

Did any of your politicians tell you this stink bomb of a bill was out there?

Did any of the major pundits?

HOW CAN WE CONTINUE TO PRETEND THAT THESE PEOPLE ARE CONSERVATIVES WHEN THEY CONSTANTLY PASS DEMOCRAT BILLS?

The worst thing that ever happened to me was the trapped milk in my chest. I had a new born baby and the most extreme and mind bending physical and mental pain id ever felt at the same time. There were rocks of milk trapped in my chest. My lymph nodes got infected. My midwife was shocked and barely knew how to help me.

For treatment I ended up binding again, wearing cabbages against my chest, and practically overdosing on pseudofed. I tried to kill myself... I can't ever face it again so now I need another surgery. The trapped milk completely changed how I even define pain now.

This is what doctors should be thinking about when women who have transitioned give birth.

[Erich Hartmann @erichhartmann]

Everyone needs to wake up. This housing bill is essentially Obama's entire anti-local agenda resurrected, goosed, and wrapped in an "affordability" / "anti-PE" / "bipartisan" illusion.

The irony that Flock will brag about sending drones with cameras to watch you, but turn the comments off because they don’t wanna hear what you think.
