The creator calling churches and asking for help for her starving baby to test them is doing god’s work (pun intended lol), and it reveals what a lot of us already knew.
The backlash from the churches who failed the test (many mega churches) has also been very telling.

BARTIROMO: How do you want this to play out once the ACA subsidies expire?
DR OZ: We have lots of great ideas, but I don't want to show our cards. As the president often says, why would I telegraph to you what we're gonna do?

Taking Republicans at their word that they’ll address healthcare costs later isn’t compromise—it’s a betrayal of the values Oregonians sent me to Congress to fight for.

“I don’t know how to have fun, have never been sick or in pain a day of my life, and could never comprehend the challenges of disability or addiction. I also love killing people I think are lesser than me.”
All drug use outside palliative care should be criminalized and possession of dealer quantities should be punishable by death without appeal.

For comparison, that's equivelent to 1.58% of the City of Portland's police budget this year. The police probably spent more than that just to do shoplifting stings. Let's turn in the tap.
Gov. Tina Kotek is tapping unspent funds from the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families to send $5 million in state funding to food banks.

I encourage folks to investigate the power of CD-RW drive and a computer. A cheap android phone with expandable storage makes a great MP3 player. This was the standard before cloud, we can bring it back again!
every time there is another round of “which music platform is the most ethical” i get sad all over again. like absolutely get rid of spotify but please do not pretend any of them are anything other than tech companies
