It's not just online. It's in physical grocery stores too.
Our months-long investigation with @consumerreports.org and @groundwork.bsky.social found it could cost families $1200/year.

Oh, here's a big surprise. The transphobes don't believe in ADHD either.
then, the transphobes , feeling victorious at how many people they have made unhappy and despairing in the previous week, move on to anything else that has a spectrum and the possibility of more colours than they can conceive - such hateful people - they cannot understand anything that is not THEM

If you have the capacity to be a presence outside, watch for out of state vehicles with tinted windows and masked drivers.

ICE's actions in Minnesota this last week are deeply disturbing. Masked agents in Northfield pulled a father out of a car at gunpoint and arrested him in front of his son. After, ICE claimed he attempted to drive over agents despite the fact that he was in the passenger seat.
