Nah, she had her bottom ribs removed so she could do it safely.

On the other hand though, I guess that an optimistic view would be that theres maybe something to be said for the fact that this has driven people who ordinarily would never protest U.S. policy like this to protest.
Whether or not that protesting is effective is another topic but it at least feels like more people are engaged now.
Did they add this specifically to fuck with him? Is this retaliation for something that happened behind the scenes?
This has to be parody. “Sparrow hater” sounds like an @ that someone on the left would come up with.
Yes, and it makes sense - the ideology of that subreddit aligns with his very closely except for vaccine stuff.
To illustrate a bit of what I mean on the above vaccine comment, here’s Polis glazing RFK just a few months ago about his help in “defeating vaccine mandates in Colorado”:
Polis is an interesting figure in the landscape of American politics. Colorado has done a lot of good in the last few years under his governance, such as the above example and ending qualified immunity for law enforcement in the state, which I believe was the first state to do so. On the other hand, he has several personal “pet peeve” issues that he carries, such as emboldening anti vaccine rhetoric (pre-COVID, Colorado had some of the lowest rates of vaccinated kindergarteners, back when anti vax was more of a liberal crunchy granola position) as well as supporting anti-homeless, pro real estate investment measures in cities such as Denver and Ft. Collins. He’s one of the wealthier state governors due to his earlier-career business ties, with some estimates of his net worth being around half a billion dollars.
Nonetheless, a win is a win and we should take what we get when it comes to policy that supports marginalized people. Polis is one to keep an eye on - I’m sure he’ll make a serious run for president at some point in the next 3 election cycles.
I’m likely preaching to the choir but he’s pretty clearly setting them up to take the blame when prices go up rather than seriously expecting the executives to just be ok with depressing their margins with no benefit.
Read this in Rodney dangerfield’s voice.
I think the reason these people praise raw milk specifically is because it’s enough to make you sick enough to require serious hospitalization but often not sick enough to die and be unable to pay back your medical debt, so from a healthcare expense perspective, it’s a pretty potent revenue driving tool. Plus you’ll probably get repeat customers.

I mean, it kind of is when they’re being persecuted for something that can apply to already marginalized people in this country instead of being persecuted for being fascist.
