Maybe American journalists should reflect on the courage of Iraqi journalist Muntadhar al-Zaidi.

Fuck’s sake. Let’s say it again, fixing economic conditions for people is not in opposition to caring about people’s basic rights. Mamdani managed to do both. Here he is arguing for trans rights.

I work with municipal wastewater facilities, who are (were) required by EPA to remove PFAS from muni water. This is doing an about face on the US cleanup for the last 2 to 3 decades. People will suffer and die. Corporations need to be held to account, not just municipal waste water facilities.

Not only long half-lives, but long-chain PFASs can build us in your blood over time when you are chronically exposed to low levels. PFOS and PFOA are known carcinogens; there is no safe level of these PFASs.

If you have a problem with trans women, trans men, or trans people of any make or gender, then you got a problem with me and I suggest you let that marinate
