ICE today is TSA 2.0 after 9-11. Sh*t pie. No background checks, no real training, arresting grandmothers with knitting needles, no repercussions…what's the common thread? a Republican administration.

Hi Great video. I just don't see how the 50/50 custody law is a bad thing in theory. I'm french so i don't get all the nuance or specificity of US law but wouldn't it be more logical to focus effort domestic violence assessments /handling too make process safe ? For exemple if you abused the partner in France you will not be eligible for custody (and more) . It would seem in the best interest of the kid to keep both parents (if no problem ) in most case. Why is it not possible in the US ?

Since we have been informed by RFK, Jr. that circumcision causes autism, where is the backlash from the Jewish population? Oy ve!!! I cringed from this pronouncement at the Cabinet Coffee-Convo and I'm not Jewish, nor do I even own a penis (either tipped or untipped).

Uh oh, you guys had better revisit that transdermal magnesium subject again. Oral mag supplementation is still the best method, but rubbing magnesium lotions or gels on the skin are absolutely useful, particularly during a neuropathic cramping event.

Now, wait. Rfk says its circumcisions thst are linked to autism.
So, you missed the baptism. Youll catch the bris!!

You're right. I was a public health program manager in my state's health department, and one of the biggest headaches in that job was dealing with officials who made policy based on their feelings, conspiracy theories, correlations without causation, and untested assumptions – rather than evidence.

I am a librarian, if you would like to read more about the bonkers lack of knowledge/education/care/etc of women’s health and women’s bodies I’d strongly recommend the book All in Her Head by Elizabeth Comen.

9:49 "I Wanna Dance with Somebody" was released in 1987. The law mandating women be included in human research (National Institutes of Health (NIH) Revitalization Act) was passed in 1993. Ironically, "Everybody Hurts" by REM was released in 1993.

My insurance company gave me grief about covering a medication, which I've been taking for years, because it's expensive. They were like, "we want you to try this medication instead." And my doctor was like, "no. She's been on this med for years. We aren't just up and switching it because you are stingy." I feel for Erin.
I can attest that conservative indoctrination does often fail. I'm the case study

I will never forget the first time I heard someone refer to the Civil War as “the War of Northern Aggression” in my college intro to political science course. It took me a full 5 minutes to figure out what they were talking about.

If there were any truth to any of this…I'd rather my children have Autism than to say to a pregnant women "you'll be right"… because the results would be worse for me than my child… but my ex did coke, weed, smoked cigarettes…definitely would never have said anything. My dad was a pharmacist so it was a bonus…knowing what could be taken during pregnancy. My relationship was the revorse of a 1950's household…I knew what was "safe" but only the really old stuff is announced as being safe…I quit the jobs, fortunately there were no vaccine's, my kids fortunately were amazing getting their vaccines…but was a bonus that everything was free, but it makes no sense that the old school polaramine…Trump is probably just making excuses for being an 80 year old autistic, retard with no savant ability… but yeah, we don't have the ridiculously stupid healthcare system that America has in Australia…

No drug tests are ever done on pregnant women…Paracetamol or Tylenol…Ibuprofen in Australia unless it has been changed in recent years, it was fine, until the third trimester… but not given in a pharmacy without prescription or knowing the doctor…this is a retard trying to explain autism..
My kids are Neuroatypical (ADHD) which I expected… it was likely given both parents are….at different end of the spectrum. But Panadol/Tylenol, was actually fine…and also Exczma increased enormously over the year, and a lot of it seems to be related to Anxiety and not just Skin Issues, antihistamines, is the first go, you don't want to used steroid ointments/creams, then Anxiety is a massive cause… I'm not a doctor but I have worked with people in the past in pharmacy… but I can say personally, that I have skin conditions…I'm the one that took the beatings…I did all the nappy changes, I all the feeds…because I gave up work, two weeks, my kids mother was back at work…so please…the resources to move against family law disregarding family laws…please remember that it goes both ways…I grew up in workplaces with women… I'm never going to say "not all men" but the courts here still favour the mother…(although the mother have my kids…she had two other children, who are both boys, to different fathers) my Anxiety that I will let my Son go to here…she purgered hereself, got my son drunk at 9 years old. Fed my kids weed Gummies at 10 years old… so please acknowledge psychopathic mothers…I am the only one that never stopper her from from seeing our children…she wasn't interested. But I'm absolutely shitting myself that I'll lose my son as she stole my kids 3 times… and she called the police on me…finding me locked away from her…kicking her out of the house and she fucked her co-worker…so just remember that the courts are more than happy to give the kids, and when I had 33% after the federal court…but then I had the kids more than 50%, then she wouldn't take my kids for 2 hours so I could sort out my garden….I have a conviction, because she made up absolute bullshit…so I totally understand… why guys get a bad rap…
I really like these casts, but I've been fucked over with a conviction. When I responded in a fairly nasty response to messages, as she was going to be happy to be able to have her fourth child… and live off parental support. So I got pissed off, and I am the one who has been fucked over, because I lost well earning jobs for my kids… and my text messages, I was "mildly miffed" that I was doing everything I could, but sitting at work, she's not allowed to see either of her other children, she only cares about her daughter…and to have someone that is the female version of Trump, wanting to try and get me, as I'm the only one that gave her a daughter who is a wonderful accessory for her… so she's fucked. I'm fucking losing my shit in Anxiety, as she would take my kids…she got her old best friend involved, when I lost him his job and wasn't earning his $100k+ Job allowing his bosses to know that they were importing cocaine… he died recently and I do not care.

As a professional who works with parents who have babies with challenges of all kinds, I definitely have that migraine due to this absolute BS that will just add to parents' pain & doubt. Oh..my..goodness..this is so *bad*. I want to hang these 3 "men" by their toes, then tell them "just tough it out"!!!

All my autistic friends n I have one thing in our origins in common: an older father (mid 30s+) during conception. Let me know if that applies or doesn’t apply to you.

The "Dark Ages" or the Early Medieval period in Europe suggests a time of widespread decline following the fall of the Roman Empire.
I trust that the Dark Ages², gift basket, will be wrapped in shiney foil wrap and ribbons.
Edit: Blue foil wrap, white bow, and red ribbons 😊
