Laughs. So they only ate junk food before? It doesn’t take a genius to realize that’s not healthy. Whole grain breads, yogurts, anything not “homemade” is being broadly classified as “ultra-processed” by those writing about the new health craze! Common sense is irrelevant but profits are to be had.

FEDERAL AGENTS TAKE NOTE… It’s not just Chicago standing strong. Other blue cities and governors are ready to unite against Trump’s federal invasion. I’m not an attorney, but this point seems huge: if federal agents break state or city laws, they can prosecuted. And Trump cannot pardon them.

Yes. Myths created to control naive masses. I don’t begrudge anyone their beliefs, especially if they feel comfort in them, but I will not support anyone who misuses their religion to treat others as less than human. It doesn’t take religion to have ethics/decency. “Religion” often does the opposite

When private equity companies take over, their goal generally is to close down the entity. They often strip off the assets, sell them at discounted prices (where they benefit from the profit) and then close up shop. She’s correct in her analysis:
