it's also usually the only kind of "help" insurance will cover (in US at least) so that gives it the image of being a real proven treatment

Every day at noon, no matter how busy, Johny Merida Aguilar left his construction job and hurried to his 5-year-old son's school to feed him. His son has brain cancer and generally only accepts food from his father.

Merida Aguilar was arrested by ICE in September and faces deportation to Bolivia.

He was caring for his 5-year-old son with brain cancer. Then he was detained by ICE.

A court has temporarily blocked Johny Merida Aguilar's deportation to Bolivia.

Hey PNW people this person is right! This happens EVERYWHERE on all our roads too!
Be careful after the first heavy rain!

Be mindful of freeways with those tire-wear grooves; stay out of the dips, so you don’t hydroplane!

A few more days for this call for papers. Could use some more contributions on various Fourth World related titles and characters, both those done by Kirby himself and others who use his characters (i.e., Rachel Pollack, John Byrne, Mark Evanier, Cecil Castellucci, Brandon Easton, etc).
