If you are 'anti-mask' you are a 'white supremacist'
New Yorker wrote an article on People’s C.D.C., which is a coalition of academics, doctors, activists, and artists who believe that the U.S. Covid restrictions have become too lax.
One of the opinions shared among the coalition is that resistance to wearing masks is most common among white people. Lucky Tran, who organizes the coalition’s media team, recently tweeted a YouGov survey supporting this, and wrote that “a lot of anti-mask sentiment is deeply embedded in white supremacy.”
At this point, what isn't seen as a sign of white supremacy?

Transgender boxing category will be introduced in 2023
Mauricio Sulaiman, the World Boxing council president, said he believes it’s time for the sport to address issues of "safety and inclusion."
Sulaiman added that the nearly 60-year-old organization created the rules for women’s boxing, "so the dangers of a man fighting a woman will never happen because of what we are going to put in place."
"In boxing, a man fighting a woman must never be accepted regardless of gender change. There should be no grey area around this, and we want to go into it with transparency and the correct decisions." - Sulaiman

Egg prices in the U.S. jumped 49% in the past year, more than any other grocery category
Since early this year, a deadly avian flu has been reducing poultry flocks — specifically turkeys and egg-laying hens. That’s one reason for the unrelenting increase in prices. But the situation has been exacerbated by elevated feed and energy costs for producers, in addition to high demand in the supermarket.
But everything's fine. No. Just great.

'The New Republic' named Matt Walsh 'Transphobe of the Year'.
🔹The magazine writes:
"The right-wing writer and podcaster has raised his profile by spreading grotesque conspiracy theories about 'grooming' and pedophilia in the LGBTQ community".
This year Daily Wire produced a documentary "What is a woman?" The documentary, narrated by Matt Walsh, shows how deeply flawed gender ideology is and features multiple interviews with the LGBTQ+ activists, who can't even give a clear definition of a 'woman'.
🔹Matt Walsh himself reacted to the news:
"Extremely honored to have earned the Transphobe of the Year award from [the new republic]. I want to thank everyone who supported me in pursuit of this goal. I don’t do it for the accolades, but I’m grateful and humbled to receive them."
If you haven't seen the "What is a woman?" documentary, you definitely should.

A Texas flight attendant was found with enough fentanyl taped on her body to kill over 600,000 people
Terese L White, 41, pleaded guilty in federal court, admitting she abused her privileges as a flight attendant to smuggle the deadly drug through Transportation Security Administration screenings.
She attempted to skip a TSA screening using the Known Crewmember line, which speeds up screening for airline crew.
Despite waiting in that line she was selected for regular screening, which was when TSA officers discovered the concealed packages taped to her abdomen.
She initially told law enforcement that the package was 'not what you think,' claiming it was a weight loss device she received from a colleague.
How many lives could have been lost to fentanyl if this woman hadn't been chosen for screening?

Almost 40 percent of students identify as LGBTQ at liberal arts colleges
"Liberal arts colleges are the least politically diverse. Many have almost no conservatives, and thus very low viewpoint diversity. But they have high sexual diversity, at nearly 40 percent LGBT," states the report by the Center for the Study of Partisanship and Ideology.
The analyzed data also reveals that overall 23 percent of U.S. college students identify as LGBTQ—a number similar to a Gallup poll which found 20.8 percent of Generation Z identified as LGBT in February 2022.

🇬🇧Men's prison in the UK is slammed by inspectors for not providing make-up and women's clothing to its transgender inmates
HM Inspectorate for Prisons found the jail was lagging behind with 'inadequate support to minority groups'.
The inspection report noted: "Prisoners identifying as non-binary, gender fluid or transgender were consulted, but not regularly. Prisoners told us they had yet to see any changes as a result of consultation."
The inspection also found LGBTQ+ inmates wanted greater opportunities to meet inside the prison, which houses 1,348 people.

New study finds global discrimination against the unvaccinated
The study by Aarhus University in Denmark, covering 21 countries, finds that this behavior is mainly caused by the perception of the unvaccinated as being “free-riders,” which has led to even the emergence of “support for the removal of fundamental rights” of the unvaccinated.
In many cases, vaccinated people did not want close relatives to marry an unvaccinated person, and considered the unvaccinated to be incompetent and untrustworthy.
In the United States, vaccinated people even pleaded for the denial of fundamental rights of unvaccinated people, going as far as demanding segregation by keeping unvaccinated people from moving into their neighborhood or keeping them from expressing their political views on social media without censorship.

South Carolina defines ‘gender’ as ‘biological sex’ in new bill
A new South Carolina bill introduced December 7 has asserted the biological reality of sex.
A proposed bill would leave the decision up to the people of South Carolina in the next election. The amendment, if passed, would narrow the definition of gender to the “biological indication of male or female in the context of reproductive potential or capacity.”
The constitutional amendment, if passed, would add the following text:
"The biological indication of male or female in the context of reproductive potential or capacity, such as sex chromosomes, naturally occurring sex hormones, gonads, and nonambiguous internal and external genitalia present at birth, without regard to an individual’s psychological, chosen, or subjective experience of gender shall constitute a person’s gender for the purposes of this constitution and the laws of this State."

🇬🇧Church of England's first openly non-binary priest
The Church of England's 'first' non-binary vicar said it was 'difficult' when they came out to their wife and three children after having a 'moment of revelation' while reading the story of Adam and Eve.
Bingo Allison, 36, who defines as gender-queer and uses the pronouns 'they/them', experienced an epiphany seven years ago while reading Genesis 1-3 in the Old Testament.
The vicar, who works in Liverpool, said they came to terms with their gender identity while reading the story and realised: "There's space in God's creation for change and transformation, just because you're created one way doesn't mean that you can't live another".
Bingo also said their wife found things 'difficult' when they first came out because "obviously you marry what you think it a straight guy and obviously things are more complicated than that".

The number of children who have accidentally eaten cannabis-infused edibles has spiked over the past five years as marijuana became legal in more 🇺🇸states
The significant increase was based on more than 7,000 pediatric cases filed with the National Poison Data System, which tracks reports of poisonings across the nation.
The numbers revealed a change from about 200 cases per year in 2017 to more than 3,000 in 2021. About 8% of the cases resulted in children being admitted to critical care units typically due to problems with breathing or coma.
The Pediatrics-published research noted that more than 97% of the exposures occurred in a home setting. The researchers concluded, "It is important for providers to be aware of this in their practice and it presents an important opportunity for education and prevention."
More than half of the reports involved 2 and 3-year-old children.

❗️TWITTER FILES: PART 11❗️
The new Twitter files show how the fear surrounding Russian propaganda let the intelligence community in Twitter internal affairs.
▪️'PR crisis' following 2016 election allowed intelligence to delve into Twitter's internal affairs.
▪️Twitter formed a ‘Russia Task Force’ to proactively self-investigate
▪️Twitter routinely received reports with lists of accounts to suspend from the state, media and politicians.
▪️The accounts were accused mostly of 'Russian' and sometimes 'Latin propaganda'.
▪️At first Twitter was very reluctant to cooperate, but after scare headlines pushed by congressional/intel sources Twitter gradually caved to moderation asks, which lead to partnerships with federal law enforcement.
▪️Before the 2020 election Twitter staff were overwhelmed with the amount of accounts to check and suspend.
▪️Previous Twitter files show that Twitter was paid $3,415,323 by the state, essentially for being an overwhelmed subcontractor.
