Emily Marris bought raw milk from a farm recommended to her on Facebook. After her 17-month-old drank it, the toddler contracted E. coli and nearly died. Despite knowing this, the farmer continued advertising “raw goat milk from a clean tested herd.”

The Kremlin wants the world to forget who started the war. On 24 February 2022, Putin ordered a full-scale invasion of Ukraine, launching the largest conflict on the European continent since the Second World War. The war was not ‘forced upon’ Russia. Russia chose to start it.

I was thinking to myself earlier this week that it's better for the economy and the world to have 1,000 people who can afford a Rolls Royce than one person who can afford 1,000 Rolls Royces. It's weird to see a similar message in a political ad as if I manifested it. I agree with this 100%.

At Camp East Montana, an ICE detainee's death was ruled a homicide after guards "restrained" him. Federal investigators later found missing or destroyed evidence, while the camp's contractor failed to provide required use-of-force and death reports.
