i'm not saying this as anyone who knows anything about health; i'm saying it as someone who is an alleged expert in interest group politics: the American beef industry is all over MAHA, wellness, and podcast spaces.
remember "bacon mania?" totally a marketing strategy by the pork industry.

New federal dietary guidelines give federal approval to beef tallow, a fat that both cardiologists and the U.S. government told Americans to avoid for nearly half a century.

The new dietary guidelines give federal approval to a fat that has slowly caught on with consumers, even as doctors have warned against it.

if only there had been a movement and momentum several years ago to downsize police budgets, clear out the white supremacists and de-militarize local law enforcement
The elephant in the room is that mayors and governors across the country have very good reason to question the loyalty and allegiances of the state and local police forces and that’s one of the impediments to doing anything about the current occupations

Blade is such a slam dunk concept and starting two-time Oscar winner is a no-brainer, so of course Marvel completely fucked this up

I have to say, as a man with two mothers, I find the derisive deployment of language like "lesbian" and "lover" by those on the far right who are trying to justify Renee Good's death particularly disgusting and dehumanizing. These women. They are wives. They are a family. That's it.

Good. I have been fortunate to not been attacked but I’ve heard the horror stories of nurses facing permanent injuries, even death. You shouldn’t fear for your life just doing your job.
Next week, nearly 16,000 nurses at five private hospitals across the city could walk off the job in what would be the largest health care labor strike in New York since 1984 documentedny.com/2026/01/08/w...

so much of the psychology behind the right's reaction is glee that a white woman was killed because she betrayed her race by protesting ICE instead of providing right wing degenerate men with free access to sex
it's sort of funny that white is now an epithet on the right if paired with woman and liberal

i think it is ok to reiterate that the victim as a us citizen. yes, noncitizens are equally entitled to human rights. but also, it's important to illustrate how ice isn't about immigration at all

a line from a movie that plays over and over in my head is Cate Blanchett as Queen Elizabeth saying "Am I to be made of stone? Must I be touched by nothing?" I think of it whenever someone tells me "that was not an appropriate time to laugh," which is a semi-regular occurrence
