Our first home in the womb is also a grave where we await the coming of life. Our first experience is a moment of resurrection, a movement out of the shadow into the light. When we watch a child physically coming out of the womb we know we are in the presence of the miraculous. #BellHooks

Kailee Buller was just appointed as Chief of Staff of the USDA.
She is President and CEO of a lobbying organization for canola and other seed oils.
You know…the oils that MAHA claims (without evidence) are the cause of chronic health conditions.
