To paraphrase Mohammed Al-Kurd:
In one part of the world, we have mothers complaining about being threatened by some words on a tshirt.
In another part of the world, we have mothers searching through the rubble for their dead children.
Guess who receives more attention?
Widespread contraception (the pill) turned procreative sex into recreational sex that fractured the relationship between men and women that led to promiscuity that led to no fault divorce that led to abortion that led to the destruction of the family that led to societal chaos and our current moment.
"he was tired of belonging to a Church (Episcopalian) that he felt he had to save; he wanted to belong to a Church that was saving him."
Yes, I also feel this way. The barque of Peter should be saving us, not maligning us. We shouldn't always have to feel that we must save it because it's decided to try suicide through synodality.
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.

Here is the American tomahawk missile, made in Tucson, Arizona and paid for by American people , right before it obliterated Christians at a church in Holy land.
I am literally sick. This is a devastating blow to every family that trusted our justice system.
Monsanto just won at the Supreme Court in a 7-2 decision, putting billions of dollars in jury verdicts for Roundup victims at risk. Americans who developed cancer after exposure to Roundup may now be denied the justice that juries across the country determined they deserved.
The message from this ruling is dangerous: if a federal agency approves a product, manufacturers may be shielded from accountability even when people are harmed.
Congress must act immediately.
1️⃣ Congress must pass legislation to correct this decision and restore Americans' right to hold corporations accountable.
2️⃣ During the EPA's upcoming Roundup review, truthful warning labels must be required so consumers can make informed choices.
3️⃣ The Senate must remove the Farm Bill provision that would delay this critical EPA review.
This is a defining moment. Every elected official now has a choice: stand with families harmed by toxic chemicals or stand with the corporations that profit from them.
The American people are watching. We will remember who fought for us and who didn't. Hold their feet to the fire #FoodBabeArmy
It is generally agreed upon that Athletes dropping dead from cardiac arrest have increased. But how much? The numbers per time are generally agreed upon within a small variance.
1970 – 2020 (50 years): 1,312 dead from cardiac arrest arrest.
2021 – 2022 (1 year): 1,598 dead from cardiac arrest arrest.
Even if the exact numbers are debated, the massive spike is impossible to ignore.
Young, fit athletes suddenly collapsing was never normal.
The Poison model reveals the following:
~61× increase
Z ≈ 39
p ≈ ~ 10^-333 that this occurred by chance alone
What changed in 2021? Any ideas? Horse(es) ass?
In the US, if you destroy a bald eagle egg, you can face:
- Up to $100,000 fine
- up to 1 year in prison
Because an unborn eagle....is still an eagle
This post isnt about eagles.
An Israeli sniper shot and killed a 10-day-old Gazan baby while the infant was being breastfed. This is not the Oct7 babies-in-ovens lies, this is a UN commission of inquiry finding. Spielberg wouldn’t have put this in Schindler’s List because nobody would have believed it.
🇮🇱🇵🇸 UN finds “indisputable evidence” of Israel intentionally killing and torturing children!!
“The Commission found indisputable evidence with regards to the deliberate targeted killing of Palestinian children, the use of torture, inhuman and degrading treatment, including the use of sexual and gender-based violence against Palestinian children.
There has been a widespread and systematic killing and harming of children.
More than 20,000 children have been killed and more than 44,000 have been injured.”
No attack on Israel justifies murdering kids and using torture and sexual violence on them
Oct 7th was horrific, but this has to be called out by world leaders; Israel must stop targeting kids

🇵🇸 UN report: Nearly 1.7M Palestinians in Gaza, about 80% of the population, are living in dire conditions with severe shortages of water, shelter, and basic services.
Over 59,000 shelters are packed with 8+ people each, thousands are sleeping outside, and hundreds of thousands lack clean drinking water.
Humanitarian situation remains extremely tough. It's never ending.

I've been in the Navy for 20 years. Traveled all over the world and gone to Catholic Masses all over Europe, Asia, Africa, South America, etc. Mass in the vernacular is fine in theory but in practice excludes the laity from the participation that V2 desired for the modernization of the Church.
Do you know what allowed me to participate in Mass from Singapore to France to Brazil to Japan?
Latin.
I knew the words in Latin and knew what they meant, and no matter what country or continent I was in, I could participate in the prayers and song. This is what makes the Church universal (katholikos).
WW2 ended 81 years ago.
The Holocaust in which millions of people were killed ended 81 years ago.
NONE of us alive today are responsible.
We are watching Zionist Jews commit genocide.
The fact they are Jews does not absolve them.
We are responsible for not stopping it.
Israeli authorities and security forces deliberately targeted Palestinian children, resulting in genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes in Gaza, and war crimes in the occupied West Bank, an independent UN inquiry said https://t.co/61poVhRzmR

Citizens United didn’t give corporations “free speech.”
It let billionaires buy elections and legally bribe politicians.
End Citizens United.
