But if anything in modern political discourse structurally resembles a blood libel, it's Vance accusing Haitians of eating cats.

I don't know what we'll do next.

It would be inaccurate to say that at least one person is dead because the secretary of health and human services is a conspiracist creep. Partly because 80 Samoan children are also dead because of that fact

RFK Jr. backs down all the time when he gets push back, so if anyone wants to call, here's the HHS number 1-877-696-6775.
I'd also call your senators/reps as well.
Opinion | Braindead MAGA voters flock to Donald Trump to tell them that minorities are inferior and unworthy of their achievements. As a center-right intellectual, I pay Bari Weiss thousands of dollars to tell me the same thing using fancier words.

Not good reading though.
Lately I haven't been well on the Wellington buses. Stale air and HVAC not working properly. So last night I took an Aranet CO2 air quality sensor from work and tried it on the No.1 bus from Newtown to Johnsonville.

You know the *only* reason he got out so fast was a reporter live posted about this for hours. And, a large amount of public pressure.
Every time someone gets grabbed, there has to be a robust public response immediately.
