Plant-based protein powders tested as having the highest levels of lead. It is unclear if this is from the soil or from the manufacturing process. Also, the 1994 deregulation of supplements both created the modern industry and leaves us all at risk.

my latest investigation for @consumerreports.org is based on months of reporting and 60+ lab tests of leading protein supplements

we found that most protein powders and shakes have more lead in one serving than our experts say is safe to have in a day (🧵)

An honor to receive the endorsement of
of nearly a dozen Black clergy leaders in Crown Heights today, including Bishop Orlando Findlayter.

I’m grateful for their support, and this powerful and humbling prayer.

Who do Canadians regard as an “enemy”? This comes from a new Angus Reid report on India, but get a look at the redder end of that list

(Red = enemy/threat; pink = maybe so)

Sign that your 9YO may have two lawyers for parents:

Me: “You’re not complaining, are you?”

9YO: “No. I’m just stating my feelings in an aggravated tone!”

There's a saying about 'the news' . . .
"If you don't watch the news, you're ill informed, but if you watch the news, you're misinformed."

Arif "Felonious Munk" Shahid @feloniousmunk.blacksky.app · 4d

Can't even watch the news to be informed if they let people come on air and lie, unchecked.

Has anyone ever noticed that autocrats and wannabe autocrats are almost always obese and unhealthy. Maybe all that self loathing has taken a toll?
