I just realised like. If the border guards were throwing tear gas over the border then they were deploying restricted chemical weapons on foreign territory

US agents deploy a restricted chemical weapon on the border. Articles say it was to stop them crossing. Meaning it was on the other side of the border.

Literally using weapons banned by the Geneva Convention against people legally seeking asylum is peak US fascism 2018 (as of this week, fuck.)

Want to know how corrupt the pharmaceutical industry is?

See this?

This is called Afrezza. It’s an inhaler for diabetic insulin. That’s right. An inhaler. That means no more needles. It’s only for fast acting insulin, but it could still vastly improve the life of a lot of diabetics. 

Imagine having to constantly prick yourself with needles to keep yourself alive, and then suddenly there’s a new product that could change the whole way you live your life for the better.

And here’s the thing: it works. It works really really well. People with diabetes that have been lucky enough to have used it think it’s amazing.

But sadly, it’s probably going to end up as a failure because the pharmaceutical company (a French company called Sanofi) that was in charge of marketing it didn’t care enough to actually try. Not only that, but they made it incredibly expensive so hardly anyone could afford it. Most people have never heard of it, and the way things are going, no one else ever will.

Please reblog this to raise awareness of this product and hopefully get another company to market it. It could change so many lives.

It would change and save my life. If there’s one thing I hate in the top 5 most in this world. It’s the fucking pharmaceutical, money mongering, heartless industry.

Shuri’s eyes had a soft look when Bucky made his decision.  “Well, better to be safe than sorry, right?  I mean, I integrated vibranium blasters into my ceremonial outfit.  Sort of on a whim but…”  she shrugged.  “Came in handy later.”

Bucky couldn’t help but mirror Shuri’s wry smile.  “Yeah, guess none of us can really be civilians.”

I drafted this a month ago, but RL intervened.  ¯_(ツ)_/¯  Happy belated birthday, Bucky!

I had something cute drafted with Okoye and Bucky bantering about weapons, but instead all I can think about is this.  So… rare self-reblog.
