“Approximately 200 protesters gathered on a tree-lined residential street on Staten Island on Thursday night, many with high-powered flashlights on hand. They wielded those flashlights like strobes, beaming bright, jerky light over police barriers, into the windows of a former school where around 60 asylum seekers are living temporarily. Meanwhile, a man named Johnny Tabacco, a bitcoin-guy-turned-Newsmax-host, wearing an oversized blue pinstripe suit and slicked-back hair, stood on a truck bed and bellowed in a gravelly voice through a PA system that was turned up so loud that this reporter’s ears were still ringing hours later. Tabacco, who is one of the organizers, conceded in a short interview later on that the decibel level was by design. The organizers wanted to send a deafening message to their new neighbors: “You’re not welcome here.””

Your body will still use all the good protein and things in “junk food,” and the only “junky” thing is that those foods may give you far more sodium or sugar than your body can use if you aren’t balancing them right.
I haven’t forgotten the specific Tumblr dudes who tried to give me shit for saying this in the past and want them to know they’re still extremely fucking stupid, hope that keto diet hasn’t given you guys a deadly liver disease yet!
