When I graduated from pharmacy school it was illegal for drug companies to direct market to the consumer. Once it became legal, the drug prices soared beyond belief. You cannot take a prescription drug without a medical diagnosis and a rx from a medical professional. These commercials are stupid!

Clearly, I must be wrong. Further, don’t take anything I say as financial advice. This is a social media account and should not be considered a source of news or useful information. I cannot afford a lawyer to provide a proper statement of how wrong I am.
When I see pharmaceutical or medical commercials I think we have to pay for these commercials instead of getting universal healthcare.
Oh my Dog, I want to buy tickets co-ed professional sports. Women belong in sports. Trans belong in sports. I competed in track in collage. I know women who were faster than me and threw further than me. I still placed in my event at regionals. youtu.be/pdHyDxJuWiU

Really interesting history of Tiburcio Vasques. American settlers were a curse to the people and land they invaded. Corrupt lawyers and judges defrauded families while gunmen conducted genocide and collected scalps. The federal government feels like an echo of its past. youtu.be/U-NK3xhXhOU

You can be arrested, tortured, and made to confess to a crime that never happened.
“The ICE agents that attacked me followed me by transport in one of their unmarked vehicles to the hospital, and then came into my room with me in a trauma unit while I was trying to be treated."
“The ICE agent behind me grabbed the back of my shirt and just threw me like a sack of trash”
People keep suing the agency for beating them up.

Most of the commentary I’ve seen on the Odyssey are disappointing at best. A few like this one identify some of the more cutting criticisms the film make. We are the sea people. Ability to read and write will be lost. We forget our mistakes. www.instagram.com/reel/DbEeymW...

Caught on video: Rep. Zach Nunn swatted at a Democratic staffer's camera on Capitol Hill today after being asked a question about rural hospital closures. Public officials must answer to their constituents, not respond with physical aggression.
So Hollywood is into sequels because of the predictable profit structure. They really need a Harry and the Hendersons 2. John Lithgow isn’t going to be around that much longer.

Though unfortunate, I think it is also important to point out that Elliot Pritt is Christian. The problem is that Christians groups claim morality, then promote and shelter sex offenders while bashing minorities. It is immoral and dangerous. www.wvlegislature.gov/house/lawmak...

Rachel Maddow’s description of Juan Sebastian Guerrero killed by ICE in Maine is a must see. She explains what happened w/out being graphic, and somehow that makes it even more powerful. Remember Alex, Pretti, and Renée? There have been no prosecutions. Still no justice. We know how this goes.
