Voted today in a local social election. So far fewer than 270 residents have cast their vote on a sales tax and $40+ million bond issue. Sigh.

The “studies” RFK Jr. are citing are not new and are not legitimate studies
White people have been mystified for eons on how our people have withstood their torture. Much of modern medicinal practices TODAY are based on their forced medical experimentation on enslaved Africans & incarcerated people

A morning read for this Arkansan

Fascinating studies on the broader effects of Walmart:
