ICE agents saw a brown man speak up at Kristi Noem's conference and went to work. Didn't matter that it was Senator Padilla. Anyone who thinks their wealth, power and privilege will protect them, just see this video.

I’ve struggled with my weight and body image all my life. The myths around health were bad but have only gotten worse. This whole MAHA movement is the worst kind of snake oil TikTok BS.

I don't need to hear another word from anyone defending the NYT ever again and I have to assume the talented reporters and writers employed there will understand. This is Jenny McCarthy shit. Shameful and pathetic. Both sidesing scientists vs the stupidest people on earth. National Enquirer shit.
