"what if someone regrets transitioning" if you are 18 or over in free country usa you can walk into any tattoo parlor and ask for a tattoo that will be on your body forever and ever and ever and they will give it to you with the understanding that if you dont like the result or you regret it later that's your fucking problem and not theirs

if youre in the US (especially the northeast + michigan) i would avoid bagged salads/greens and generally wash your produce very thoroughly unless you want the diarrhea parasite

[klapollo]

Outbreak of diarrhea-causing parasite grows to more than 1,000 cases

Michigan is experiencing its largest outbreak of a parasitic infection that causes severe diarrhea. Nearly 1,000 people have been diagnosed

this is not life-threatening, but also who wants weeks of diarrhea and a fucking parasite in them lol. if you suspect you've already had this and it's passed, i would see a doctor. you might need an antiparasitic anyway. if you're actively sick, see a doctor and they might be able to prescribe medication to help you get over it faster.

try to avoid eating raw vegetables, scrub fruit with a produce brush and rinse thoroughly with water. again, don't bother with premade greens or bagged salads. if you buy lettuce, remove the outer 2-3 layers of leaves.

there are UNVERIFIED rumors that the greens have been linked to a company that sources to taco bell. some locations have been actively pulling fresh ingredients like lettuce, avocado, and pico de gallo to mitigate the threat, so i would avoid any products from them just in case. considering how vast supply chains are, i'd be wary of any fast food greens in general for now.

[borrelia]

also note this is a PARASITIC infection. most diarrhea-causing pathogens you expect to contaminate your greens are bacteria (e.g. e. coli and salmonella), which are a different domain of organism altogether. cyclospora is a protozoan, which is bigger and more complicated than a bacteria (for reference, malaria is also caused by a protozoan). bacterial diarrhea can be dangerous, but you might also expect to weather it and survive unscathed. do NOT fuck with PARASITIC contamination. you should be scared of this one!

[gourde]

Another note: YOU CAN'T WASH IT OFF!

Only high temperatures will kill cyclospora. It resides in what is like a shell, which is highly resistant to water and most cleaning chemicals. The substance it uses to cling to food is so strong we don't even fully know what its limits are. It may be best to avoid fruits and veggies you can't cook. Scrubbing only works if done hard enough and on foods with no hiding places (Like cucumbers and grapes). Peeling the skin off is your best bet at avoiding it however, scrubbing is not guaranteed.

Thank you OP for posting! Usually washing does work on most sicknesses, just not this one.

Bad Bunny handed his Grammy to Liam Cornejo Ramos, the 5 year old who was detained by ICE

[crxssjae]

Hello, gotta slide in real quick.

Wanting to remind everyone who are reblogging this post that the child is not Liam Conejo Ramos. This is the child actor, Lincoln Fox Ramadan. The publicist and the family of Liam confirmed that it's not him.

No, that wasn't Liam Conejo Ramos in Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime show

A publicist for Bad Bunny confirmed to NPR that the little boy in a blue bunny hat detained by ICE in Minneapolis last month did not partici

In fact, Liam Conejo Ramos is now being fast tracked for deportation with his father.

Times like these I remember that Malcolm X quote about healing and how it requires acknowledging the knife is there. Things like "this isn't who we are" and "this is un-American" and "what are we? [insert another country]??" reveal a deep seated denial of American history and state-sponsored domestic terror that I'm just not gonna entertain anymore from leftists over the age of twenty.

[notgreengardens]

"If you stick a knife nine inches into my back and pull it out three, that is not progress. Even if you pull it all the way out, that is not progress. Progress is healing the wound, and they haven't even begun to pull out the knife. They won't even admit the knife is there."

ICE agents forced to flee Minnesota neighborhood due to car alarm alert system

Frustrated Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers fled a Minnesota neighborhood after residents alerted each other by triggering car a

Basically, people are using their key fobs to set off their car alarms when they see ICE.

This is effective for several reasons:

Obviously, it alerts everyone that something is wrong. Given ICE has been terrorizing Minnesota, people are likely to immediately know it is ICE. This gives people time to flee or barricade themselves in their homes.

ICE loses the element of surprise.

If one person hears a car alarm go off, they can trigger their own alarm, alerting even more people, but also making it really annoying for ICE. Annoying sounds petty, but it can be effective. Have you ever been in a building when a super loud fire alarm went off? It's very hard to concentrate. You can't hear much else. You just want to leave. ICE experiences this when a whole street if car alarms go off. Which means they make mistakes.

[eddieisanidiot]

This was how we were alerted to ICE attempting to gain access to our apartment building. This 100% works.

[errorschacha]

I want to clarify the linked Axios article doesn't say we're "next" but that Boston's city government is preparing for an ICE surge should one happen. Right now (12:30am, 1/15/26) there's no announcement of one.

ICE is currently active in Massachusetts, just not at occupation levels.

If you see them, definitely contact LUCE.

If you can do MIRA's training, you should.

(Also, Axios is run by conservative ratfuckers and I wouldn't recommend using them as a news source.)

Rest in power, Claudette Colvin 1939 - 2026

[rebel-girl-queen-of-my-world]

Rest in power indeed.

This woman, at age 15, was arrested - nine months before Rosa Parks gained international fame - also for refusing to give up her seat on a segregated bus. She was courageous beyond belief.

"My mindset was on freedom," Colvin said in 2021 of her refusal to give up her seat.

"So I was not going to move that day," she said. "I told them that history had me glued to the seat."

it’s one thing to call yourself anti-Zionist and reject people who are outright and openly and brazenly genocidal. but if you’re serious about giving a shit you have to reject liberal Zionism and half-measures too. The only true anti-Zionism is a total rejection of the very existence of Israel as a state, and any and all rhetoric that would validate that existence. And when you lean into this you’ll find most people, even the ones who might call themselves your allies, even perhaps some very big and prominent orgs, will not follow you there. they will choose not to. and especially as a Jew, you will lose a shit ton of community over this. and it’s all worth it and it all pales in comparison to what’s being done to Palestinians in what is said to be our name. Obviously.
