All this stuff is probably true, but it makes it sound like the workers are contaminating lettuce.

Wide-spread produce contamination happens through dirty irrigation water that sewage has leaked into.

Even if workers were taking shits in the field, it wouldn’t be enough to make these events and someone with intestinal diseases wouldn’t last long out doing manual labor in the hot sun (ask me how I know).

Food borne illnesses are almost always from shortcuts companies do to save a few bucks (don’t test the water, don’t test the produce, etc.)

"nonbinary people who don't need to medically transition and therefore have cis passing privilege"

there's so much wrong with that, dear god.

why is your example of someone who doesn't need medical transition always a nonbinary person? binary trans people who don't need medical transition exists. this is already unfairly targeted and clearly based on the idea that nonbinary people are inherently closer to cis/less trans.

"therefore" - it's bold to assume that every nonbinary person who doesn't medically transition is seen as cis. depending on the person, medical transition is what makes someone be more likely to be seen as cis. there are so many people who aren't seen as cis *because* they don't medically transition, or just naturally exist on ambiguous ground no matter what they do. the idea that medical transition is the only thing that makes you visibly trans is wildly incorrect.

"cis passing privilege" is a weird ass way of saying "misgendering and erasure on a structural level. but if you named it correctly, you'd have to acknowledge that you're trying to sell oppression as privilege.

god i hope getting gender affirming surgery is never gonna make me like one of those people. if you ever see me weaponise my need for medical transition against other trans people, excommunicate me.

Why is there a diarrhea parasite outbreak in America?

Because Donald Trump and his Republican allies cut funding to disease prevention and control.

Why is measles back in America?

Because Donald Trump and his Republican allies, including RFK Jr, cut vaccine and measles prevention funding and programs.

Why is the New World Screwworm infecting cattle in Texas, when it had previously been eliminated from the area?

Because Donald Trump and his Republican allies, including Elon Musk, cut USAID funding, which in part worked to monitor and prevent screwworm outbreaks.

Why was there a flu outbreak in our armed forces?

Because Donald Trump and his Republican allies, including Pete Hegseth, cut vaccination requirements for our armed forces, putting all of them at risk alongside our military readiness.

What contributed to the Covid outbreak?

Donald Trump and his Republican allies cut funding to a pandemic prevention program in his first term because Barack Obama had created it.

“America first” sends its regards. Trump voters, please learn your lesson. And if you don’t, it’ll be taught to you again with yet another diarrhea outbreak.

Please give credit to Matthew Cortland, the disabled lawyer and activist whose work is reflected in that last screenshot. They work hard on documenting what Trump and his cronies have been doing & they deserve credit.

It's far too late but I really wish we stopped calling generative AI "AI" because it's just not Artificial Intelligence.

It's like if we called drums "sonic booms" because they make a loud sound.

[charlesoberonn]

It's like if we called all carbonation foam "lava" because of baking soda volcanos.

It's like if we called cars "spaceships" because a car salesman once lied about their product being capable of space travel

It's like if we called vitamin supplements "cancer cures" because some people mistakenly believe they cure cancer

Having ADHD is so fun because sometimes youre looking for something that you use regularly and definitely put away in a smart and reasonable place and you have absolutely 0 hope of remembering where and finding it. And then other times ur like "hmm I need a some kind of small pointed object. I feel like i remember seeing a paperclip under the left couch cushion a month ago, i wonder if its still there" and it is

[aevios]

"wait but if u saw the paperclip why would u just leave it there?" its the adhd. Also if i had put it away then i wouldnt have been able to find it a month later when i needed it. So. Checkmate neurotypicals.

[oakenroots]

Problem is when the ADHD catalogue is out of date, when you go to check under the couch cushion for that paperclip and it ISNT there, sometimes your brain will just give you a montage of false memories of everywhere you've ever seen a paper clip, like this

[aniseandspearmint]

yeah yeah the paperclip montage, we've all seen it

ngl i have a really hard time respecting or taking seriously anyone who prioritizes like, farm animals or dogs or whatever charismatic animal it is this week over human beings in their activism. like i hear you and those animals deserve rights but do you know what other mammals are currently being tortured and exploited and killed by the Ag industry/resource extraction/capitalism? fucking human people!

[fertilefloor]

i'm involved in a campaign trying to stop a prison being built in my state and the route most promising right now isn't like appealing to the humanity of the people who would be incarcerated, nono who tf cares about that, it's that the construction would be harmful to some dragonfly species that depends on the land the prison would be built on

it's so bleak. there's like no way to do activism that cares about actual people. it's always some circuitous bullshit that's more about wealthy people enjoying the land that would otherwise be used to torture people. people with wealth and power care more about bugs than people.
