Dr Oz: "Turns out that about 1/3 families don't have the number of babies they desire. They're under-babied. So this president committed to address that during the campaign and he's delivering on that today."

It feels really strange to hold this book in my hands. I contributed by analysing the party organisation of the @svpch.bsky.social. I talked to over 50 members to learn more about the party, its structure, and the members' views. It is also available open access (online).

While I understand the intent to debate them, it nevertheless gives these extremists a platform and it really smells like fishing for clicks and views. To say "I did not know" sounds like a lame defense.
To all those asking in the replies, why do this show and isn't it just platforming hate, fair questions. I struggled with it. I also didn't realize just how extreme these 20 would be (!)
But also, I guess folks should know this is what we're up against and this is what the country contains now.
