This is a fascinating summary of research into protest tactics, media response, and ultimately the influence on public opinion...
NEW: The rate of sepsis in Houston surged 63% after Texas banned abortion.
In the Dallas-Fort Worth area, where hospital leaders empowered doctors to intervene before patients’ conditions worsened, it rose just 29%.
why not both?
Shingrix kicked my butt, but I have friends who have had shingles. Prefer the shot to their experience.
Surely there are some actual problems in Missouri?
Yeah, but now he has direct access to the US Treasury. He can write himself govt contracts at will.
I wouldn't count on that. These are the same ppl who are mad that Pres. Obama didn't do anything on 9/11, 8 years before he was president.

Hope you are enjoying your new clothes!

People have been murdered for things they cannot control for as long as there have been murders.
I remember when the Rainforest Cafe near us opened, probably 2010 ish. Kids were little, and we went for lunch with the godmothers. Fun times!
