Isn't it time America hold Big Pharma accountable for its extortion?
Utah didn’t ban youth hormone therapy such as testosterone boosters for cis boys. It didn’t ban “gender affirming surgery” such as breast augmentation for cis girls.
Just for trans kids.
You know, in case you’re wondering if lawmakers are really out to “protect the children” like they claim.
Give me a break.
Egg prices are up 138%. We're calling BS on the excuses:
Avian flu? Avg flock size dropped 6% but no substantial drop in production.
Inflation? Cal-Maine's production costs were just 22% higher than in 2021.

It’s rare that I get a lump in my throat and tear in my eye when writing a piece, but the letters from and about Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. by his spiritual brother and guide Thich Nhat Hanh were just that beautiful and poignant.
