Oh, yes, and as @alisterbull1 points out: flamethrowers
An item on the list doesn't necessarily mean higher prices for that item. These are proposed, not final, and some imports are minor. For example, pistols, shotguns, and rifles are on the list. But only 1/3 of guns in U.S. are imported, and mostly from Europe and Brazil, not China

#Meng was charged with conspiracy to defraud banks. Canada’s Crown lawyer told the judge she has incentive to #flee the country. #Dishonesty is a factor in deciding her bail. The Crown lawyer argued that it’s difficult to set #bail high enough to prevent her from fleeing.

npr.org/sections/goats… @NPRGoatsandSoda Usually a big fan of your journalism, but you guys did a disservice to your readers in the piece on gene drive in A. gambiae. Why would you reach out to anti-GMO activist Dr. Ricarda Steinbrecher for comment on this research? #malaria
First of all, asking Dr. Steinbrecher to comment on the consequences of using genetic engineering to suppress a disease vector is a bit like asking the pope about a newly developed form of birth control.

Of COURSE she’ll be against it - for ideological, arbitrary reasons
Plus, Dr. Steinbrecher’s degree is in developmental biology, not #ecology. Her statement about “ecosystem crashes” is absurd, and displays her ignorance in this area

Birth control pills are not "abortion-inducing drugs." And yet this man wants to sit on the Supreme Court. Reproductive right of women are at risk if #Kavanaugh is confirmed. I hope every self respecting woman understands this is what happens when you vote for a Republican.
"Pro-life" is such a bullshit argument from conservatives since they don't support human development programs once you're born & on earth. Moreover, they're not just against abortion - they just want to punish women for having non-reproductive sex.
Birth control pills are not "abortion-inducing drugs." Reproductive rights of women are at risk under Trump & perilously so if #Kavanaugh is confirmed. Self respecting women must understand that voting Republican is the chicken voting for Colonel Sanders.

Since @sarahjeangosney said she misses my science threads, let’s do an early morning one so I can draw ire from hoe is life twitter today.

💀Birth Control Pills are killing us💀

A thread brought to you by my estrogen webinar that you can get here -> bit.ly/estrogenwebinar
So I’ve talked about birth control pills a couple of different times, but people are still schleep.

Time for y’all to wake up beloved.

Birth control pills, like any other drug that changes the way the body talks to itself, create a more problems than solutions.
I’ve seen women be like:

😩I’m on birth control because of cystic acne😩

If you’re getting cystic acne, that means you’re lymph system is backed up more than a Juvenile rap video for the 99 and the 2000.

The first thing you should do is cleanse, not stuff more junk in.

"Trump has used Harley-Davidson as an example of a US business that is being harmed by trade barriers. Yet Harley has warned consistently against tariffs, saying they would negatively impact sales"

Harley, hit by tariffs, shifts some production overseas apnews.com/6c8942f7363743…
Important issue highlighted by @riotwomennn: are tariff exemptions determined by bribes?

Corker: "22,000 companies have asked for exemptions.There is no basis to deal with them. Are they going to grant these exclusions based on political contributions?"
Trump’s trade war with the European Union is going to cost Harley-Davidson as much as $100 million a year and force the manufacturer to shift production out of the U.S. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

birth control pills have tons of side effects just like any other artificial pharmaceutical. unfortunately no ones informs us of these risks
when we ingest something the body naturally produces, it becomes lazy and stops producing it. in the case of birth control, it's hormones.
no one tells women that when you stop taking birth control with desire to have a child that you might not be able to conceive anymore.
