NEW: In June, ProPublica reported that the FDA has given more than 20 foreign factories a special pass to send drugs to the U.S. even though they were made at plants the agency had banned.

Today, we’re publishing a list of those exempted drugs.

its really not very journalism to use the police's euphemisms to describe the police's actions but since you're copypasting their release, this isn't journalism at all but it is a massive disservice to the public that creates yet another barrier to police accountability and it is reprehensible

It continues to be weird how sinusoidal VCH is compared with the others.

There is a large green digital billboard display with the words COVID-19 CAUSES... BRAIN DAMAGE DEMENTIA IMMUNE DAMAGE HEART PROBLEMS DIABETES CHRONIC ILLNESS N95 ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION ANYONE CAN GET LONG COVID, EVEN KIDS. MASK UP AND STAY SAFE. On it. There is also a graphic of a purplish virus particle, and a white n95 mask. There are also 3 vehicles in the picture, two are dark blue suvs and the other is a white car. There are buildings in the background and a patch of grass in front of the parking lot where the vehicles are. It is a sunny day.

Covid numbers are rising and we trying to get the word out. Here are the first two billboards so far this summer and I’ll be working to keep putting them out well into the fall.
If you want to help me continue the campaign any help is appreciated.

Land value capture is focused on upzoning, but massive land wealth has been created even in heritage-protected neighborhoods like First Shaughnessy (where no upzoning occurs). This wealth accrues to private landowners instead of the public, but our value capture policies do nothing.
