Microplastics are everywhere. You can do one simple thing to avoid them. The biggest sources of microplastics have one thing in common: Heat.

Microplastics are released from plastic when exposed to heat, including leaching from tea bags into hot tea and plastic containers releasing nanoplastics when microwaved. While health effects are still unclear, minimizing heating plastic is a simple way to reduce exposure.

The reason Mike Johnson is able to keep the House closed and not pass bills to pay the military or fund the government is because Trump is going to circumvent congress and illegally steal that money from other government programs. All to avoid releasing the Epstein files.

Let's be so massive & nationwide, it puts the fear of God into those slimy #PedoProtectors & the disease that rules them. #TrumpIsAPedoRapist #25thAmendmentNow #NoKingsOct18 @nokings2025 @NoKingsNoCrowns @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social @popeleoxiv.bsky.social @ncronline.bsky.social

Never forget this: The forces rigging our economy, undermining our democracy, polluting our planet, and stoking hatred are counting on you to give up. Cynicism is how they win. Stay clear-eyed and ready for the fight ahead.

WGN-TV producer violently detained during Chicago ICE enforcement action A DHS spokesperson said that Debbie Brockman was placed under arrest for ‘assault on a federal law enforcement officer,’ claiming the WGN employee threw objects at the agent.

A producer and editor for WGN-TV was violently forced to the ground this morning by two Border Patrol agents, before having her hands cuffed behind her back, during an ICE action in Chicago’s Lincoln Park neighborhood.

Debbie Brockman has worked for the local television station since 2011.

I’m just glad it went to someone standing up for democracy instead of tearing it apart!

trump is only harassing cities that are labeled safe or sanctuary cities for immigrants.

This has nothing to do with crime or the exaggerated claim thereof.

All he wants to do is punish BLUE states and cities as a retaliatory action to not voting or supporting him.

Trump's nonstop threats to arrest Dems are also about sleepwalking us into forgetting that free societies don't allow for arbitrary arrests of political opponents.

As @kristyparker.bsky.social says, we need to keep reminding ourselves that this isn't how it works:

Senators press Mike Johnson to swear in Democrat who could force Epstein vote Mark Kelly and Ruben Gallego hold press conference at speaker’s office over his refusal to swear in Adelita Grijalva

Mike Johnson Refuses to Swear In The New Key Democratic Congresswoman in Order To Stall Possible Release of the Epstein Files!

Tell Congress: Fully investigate the Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking case Contact Congress today!

Help us push for an investigation into Trump's Epstein scandal HERE: actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

Johnson and Lauer are stalling.

If Grijalva isn’t sworn in, it gives them time to pressure one of the 4 Republicans who signed the discharge petition to flip.

The reason they’re working this hard to shield the Epstein files is because Trump’s name is all over them.

RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES

THIS is the energy we’ve been waiting for. Credit where credit is due.

Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece.

It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out.

Pam Bondi wasn't going to answer any questions today. We all knew that in advance. People can watch the hearing if they want to, but the idea that this is an Attorney General testifying before Congress is laughable. This is just a Trump personal lawyer putting on a performance for her client on TV.

Chicago O’Hare (ORD) is an incredibly important hub for Texas-based American Airlines.

Whether flying in or out, choose another airline as long as the Texas National Guard is occupying Chicago against our will.

Same for Southwest Air in and out of Midway (MDW).

Stand in solidarity with Chicago.

"So, Democrats have three words for this: no fucking way. It's literally life or death. We will not let Republicans blow up our health care system."

This is, hands down, the best comms work Chuck Schumer has done in YEARS. Surprisingly good.

Agree. Agree. Agree.

I wouldn’t advise anyone in Portland to walk your dog near this building.

Grijalva: The frustration for me is that it seems as if Speaker Johnson is not willing to swear me in because our politics are a little different, or because I’m going to be the 218th signer—he can just continue to drag this along with no end in sight.

That is not a foundation of our democracy.

This is not going to end well. Sooner or later an American citizen is going to get killed.

Laura Rodriguez, on Twitter: A federal agent points a weapon at a woman who was recording them. Jess, a U.S. citizen and member of a neighborhood patrol team that documents and shares ICE activity across the city, was filming when the incident occurred earlier today in the Berwyn area.

I fear if things don’t change right now, this image is going to come back to haunt us

This strikes me as pretty bad

MAGA is big mad at Zach Bryan for not being a fan of fascism.

They’re mad at Bad Bunny because they don’t know where Puerto Rico is.

Now I really want Bunny to invite Zach to perform with him at the Super Bowl.

I heard a guy on TV saying these shutdowns occur under both Democrats and Republicans, but there hasn't been a shutdown when Dems were in control of all three branches since the 1970s under Carter.

The two parties are not the same.

History won’t praise Democrats for playing by the rules if it’s the reason we lose our country.
