Yes, polyester is a plastic (PET) derived from crude oil.
It is not typically "coated" in hormone disruptors, but many garments contain residues or finishes (BPA/bisphenols, phthalates, PFAS, antimony) that can act as endocrine disruptors and may migrate via sweat or heat.
Most concerning: tight synthetic activewear (polyester-spandex leggings, sports bras, socks), water-repellent items, and heavily finished fast-fashion pieces. Natural fibers like organic cotton, linen, or wool generally pose lower chemical risks.

🚨 WOW! Dr. ALVEDA KING just said it PERFECTLY on Capitol Hill
"I still have a dream. I dream that one day we will move beyond black power and white power and embrace GOD'S power and human dignity!"
"I reject the notion that Americans who hold traditional Christian beliefs should be treated as THREATS or TERRORISTS simply because we disagree with a prevailing political thought!" 🙏🏻
"I dream that Americans will one day see each other, not as enemies, but as neighbors. I dream that we will hear each other, see each other, and recognize that every human life has value from the womb to the tomb and beyond."
"We are as scripture teaches, one blood, one human race. And if we remember that truth, we can build a future worthy of the sacrifices made by those who came before us."
"We must speak out for truth and against the forces that would manufacture hate, fear, division, and violence simply to line their pockets and further their political ambitions."
"God bless America, God bless you!"
🇺🇸🇺🇸👏🏻

South Carolina, I need you to hear this clearly.
Tomorrow, Tuesday June 9th, you have the power to remove @LindseyGrahamSC from the United States Senate. Decades in Washington and what does South Carolina have to show for it?
1. Open borders,
2. Endless foreign wars and,
3. A ruling class that answers to donors before it answers to you.
This is not about party. This is about accountability. Get to your polling place tomorrow and vote @MarkLynchSC for United States Senate.

Wow, now they're just CUTTING OFF people from electricity. 50,000 homes in Nevada will just "go dark" and be completely cut off, all due to data centers needing the power.
Nearly 50,000 people in the Lake Tahoe area have been told that their utility will stop providing power to them, because it's redirecting that power to data centers.
NV Energy, the Nevada utility that has supplied most of Lake Tahoe’s electricity for decades, says that next year it will stop servicing homes in the area, and instead direct that electricity to the growing demand from Nevada data centers.
Northern Nevada is one of the fastest-growing data-center corridors in the country.

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
“This does not mean the power is shutting off,” said Eric Schwarzrock, president of Liberty Utilities in Lake Tahoe. “Energy companies, utilities, [and] large customers change energy supply frequently.”

National Security or National Risk?
We’re told we must support massive data center build-outs in Missouri because they are "critical for national security" and the "AI arms race". But look at what’s actually happening in Independence.
During this week's Utilities Committee hearing, it was revealed that a massive new AI data center project is owned by a Russian Billionaire, Arkady Volozh. While local residents are being asked to provide massive tax abatements and hand over our energy resources, the profits and control of that data are tied to a founder of the Russian tech giant Yandex.
How does it protect American interests to subsidize an "AI factory" for a Russian oligarch’s company?

🚨👀 Is local government literally drone-surveilling backyard food gardens?
This guy filed a FOIA in his own name… and got drone footage back labeled as surveillance for “suspected food production” in his own yard. 🥬🚁
What needs to be done about this? 🤔

🚨 NOW: The US House just PASSED a 3-YEAR FISA extension that includes a BAN on Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC), 235-191
It now heads to the Senate, but Leader Thune vowed that a CBDC ban is DONE FOR in the Senate.
The Senate might now strip the anti-CBDC language out when it gets there.

Fuck Ford
their newly filed patents scan you for:
-stress
-temperament
-finger print
-warrants
-criminal background
and more...
every time you get behind the wheel.
Ford can fuck the fuck off. Here's my favorite part, 6 years from now, after we've run this through the courts and they've spent hundreds of millions, and millions of Ford autos have this crap installed, the Supreme Court court will rule in favor of the people and outlaw this surveillance.
ONLY law enforcement will have over rides on their vehicles to that ONLY law enforcement vehicles will allow highly stressed, bad temperament, chemical impaired persons to drive, if Ford has its way. Let that soak in.

In late 1960s Bishop Sheen predicted that the ruination of many countries in future will not be caused by wars, but by FALSE COMPASSION.
Bp. Sheen: "False compassion is a pity shown, not to the mugged but to the mugger; not to the family of the murdered, but to the murderer."
