The pyramid bag options were primarily nylon about a decade back, but tons of improvements have been made since then in the industry and now most of the teabag fearmongering is just that. Always wise to ask the manufacturer what materials they use!

Rather than addressing serious public safety threats, the government is spending billions on mass detention to pressure people who pose no threat to give up their cases and accept deportation.
It is a system built to produce deportations, not justice.

Sit down for breakfast but because I have Truth alerts on my phone--professional hazard on the fascism beat--I learn five minutes after the fact that Trump is sending troops to Portland with authorization for "full force." Not a drill, friends.

If in question, we recommend folks choose caution and avoid the teabags.

If there's one empirical insight I'd want everyone to understand about American politics, it's this:

What would change if the US simply matched the average of 31 peer democracies? Not Denmark or Norway. Just the middle of the pack. 🧵
