This is actually not the MOST PRESSING reason not to drink raw milk, but if it keeps people from doing it…

“California agriculture officials confirmed Sunday that avian influenza, or bird flu, was detected in raw milk produced by a Fresno County facility that sells its products at dozens of Bay Area grocery stores.”

So we're living in pre-APOCALYPTIC times?

I just heard a young man explain it perfectly.

If a man wants to assault a woman, he doesn't have to transition into a woman to get into women's restrooms. He simply has to assault her. It happens daily. And we just elected one as the next president.

Made pumpkin spice cookies & they are more like cake and not really that tasty. The frosting I made is good though and saved me from tossing them. 😑

Exactly the reason Conservative politicians want no part of single payer (government)healthcare

Not just that, but also this --

“When the money isn’t disclosed, it’s not clear how much everybody is giving, who is giving it and what they are getting in return for their donations. It’s an area where the vast majority of Americans would agree that they want to know who is paying that bill.”

The chaos -- and potential natsec prob -- is the point.

Painter: “Until they sign this agreement, they’re not yet government employees. They can do anything they want. They can have any conflicts of interest they want. They could be taking money from foreign governments for all we know..."

When you’re a mom, you have to rise to the needs of your kids. Even when they are middle aged.

My oldest son told me his doc has increased his depression meds. He is surrounded by MAGA in Boebert’s district.
