Feeling nostalgic tonight and remembering when the Proud Boys tried to throw down a few years back at a UC Davis/TPUSA event where Charlie Kirk was speaking.

Bloc ran their asses off campus and taught the stragglers a valuable lesson in cardio. 🚩🏴💪

Federal Secret Police and plainclothes ICE agents kidnap multiple people from a neighborhood in Chicago. They then deploy teargas and brutally beat neighbors who come out to express their concern.

Always push back against counter-insurgency propaganda.

Your communities can, and should, defend itself. If they’re already planning to kill us, you are under no obligation to make it easy for them.

There is no such thing as a "safe" amount of lead to have in your body.

my latest investigation for @consumerreports.org is based on months of reporting and 60+ lab tests of leading protein supplements

we found that most protein powders and shakes have more lead in one serving than our experts say is safe to have in a day (🧵)

What the First Amendment doesn’t protect when it comes to professors speaking out on politics

American colleges and universities have traditionally encouraged free speech. Recent dismissals of professors are eroding their commitment to this core mission.

California just passed a ban on handguns that “can be converted to full automatic.”

They mean to ban Glocks. But I literally don’t know a semiautomatic handgun that CAN’T be converted to fully automatic with the right work applied.

Until it’s torn down it’s going to be bad for everyone in Cali.

The colonial violence that began with the arrival of Christopher Columbus has extended in a continuous pattern right up to today.

The tycoons who erected statues of Columbus did so as part of a ongoing project of erasing Indigenous history and subduing the working class.
