"You now live in a country where volunteers deliver babies at home, in secret, off the books, because mothers fear that if they go to the hospital, they will be abducted by masked, armed agents of the state while giving birth. This is not a hypothetical."

Should be illegal

A tariff “refund” mostly goes to whoever wrote the tariff check: the importer of record. That’s not the same person who paid more at the register. So refunds -- if they're offered -- might sound like consumer relief, but in reality, they're corporate windfalls.

So Safeway tried this "Superior Service with a Smile policy" like what Target is trying back in the 90s women employees were harassed so much some hid in the back trying to get away from male customers. Sometimes the dudes followed the employees to their car after their shifts. Sounds super safe.

Neither, it was accidental honesty.

Funny how she never talks about actual studies on divorce rates that show if you don't want a divorce one should marry a college educated woman

As if Facebook Marketplace interactions aren't enough, I guess now we need to be free therapist to random dudes who need to trauma dump.

“You deserve more!” somehow means she’s sad and angry at life? 🤨

There are animals that eat their young, but at the moment, I’m thinking the species where the females eat the males.

“All you need is love” are great lyrics to a song, not words to live by.

“Background in psychology” = he’s watched a lot of Jordon Peterson.

Fuck no. Don’t give up your dreams for anyone. Don’t put your plans on hold and let him steal years from you. If he actually loved you, he’d cheer you on.

Ladies, you absolutely do not have to live like this. You shouldn't be spending your days fighting the world to make your way then coming home and have to fight your own partner for understanding. This shit will age you inside and out. There are better partners out there, including yourself.

Ever want to know how some dudes who won't change diapers or even actually raise their own kids got like that? Many of them got mothers like this.

What do you do? You leave. Don’t ever let someone take your joy from you.

These people are alive because the Chicago District only relatively recently reversed an absurd policy of not having life preservers on the lakefront because they thought it was a moral hazard that would lead to more people swimming. chicago.suntimes.com/news/2026/02...

It’s far too expensive to raise a family in America right now - and the cost of child care is a big reason why.

What if it's not so difficult to understand? what if Israel has been blackmailing the entire US government for years. Not only to get the money they need the nukes they need, but also the protection they need. What if it's just that simple?

A few rich people may abandon a US State if taxes on them are raised, but evidence from NJ, Mass., & Others suggest the vast majority will stay put. Why are the rich staying put, w/ their taxes being raised? Because they’re rich! They can afford to stay put. actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

"trump raised prices. republicans stood by. the supreme court -- the conservative supreme court -- said no. so trump raised prices again. and republicans stood by. dont support republicans who will raise your prices." is an easy and accurate and true message dems can repeat asap

Those terms are agreeable.

Think of how bad things must be for a Supreme Court Justice to feel he has to explain why it's a good idea to have laws enacted by legislators instead of decreed by wannabe dictators

They will face accountability one day.👇

So, she only takes in feral animals she caught in the woods? 🤨 The sweetest cat I have right now had a previous owner before she wound up on the street, starving and trying to care for three kittens. It’s been wonderful to see her go from afraid and timid to feeling safe and happy. 😊

Fellas, is it gay to drink water?

Oh, hell no. Just, all the no.

It's interesting how they only see women in subservient roles.

Wait, WUT 😳

Neal Katyal: "In America, the chief justice said only Congress can impose taxes on the American people, and that's what tariffs are. Tariffs are taxes."

newsone.com/6850568/body... Black man found hanging in Marietta ga. a couple of days ago. No news coverage again. Likely not a suicide as they are again trying to say. Statistically speaking Black people don’t hang ourselves from trees. Any guess of who would do this?!

If one of my kids got this ill and I knew it was because I refused to vaccinate them, I would never have forgiven myself. A parent who puts an ideology over their child’s welfare isn’t a good parent.

“If I knew this could be the outcome, I still wouldn't have given my son the vaccine.” This was said by the mother of a child in South Carolina who has been hospitalized with measles encephalitis since January. I tried out several sentences for this spot, but none could capture my thoughts.

The cover-up just never ends. Rest in peace, Ruben Ray Martinez.

As a trans woman I see the same vaccine-free ideology that exposes children to dangerous and preventable diseases also pushing the notion that life-saving trans healthcare for kids is a terrible scourge. It’s not about health, it’s the obsessive need for control even if it harms their own kids.

@joanesposito.bsky.social Please REMIND PEOPLE IN YOUR STATE that they need EXTRA POSTAGE TO MAIL IN their ballot. Encourage them to drop off the ballot if possible and VOTE EARLY if you want to vote AT THE POLLS. Thank you. Men are writing "Free Thinker" not aligning to a party. Independent??

Trump’s Big Ugly Bill kicks 15 million Americans off their health insurance & Republicans made it worse by letting ACA tax credits expire. At Young & Healthy in Pasadena, I met with community leaders working overtime to help families stay covered as Republican health care cuts send premiums soaring.

This agreement allows DHS agencies like CBP & ICE to essentially skip the competitive bidding process. Palantir's software is considered dangerous primarily because its technology facilitates mass surveillance & enables targeting which erodes civil liberties. Gift link => archive.ph/1yX5v

More of this, please. The folks in this grassroots group are heroes. Haven Watch lives by the promise, “No One Walks Alone.” Day or night, they show up. When people are released from ICE detention, volunteers meet them in the cold, disoriented, and exhausted. Beautiful and devastating all at once.

Color opposites are weird. You can’t imagine a 'reddish green.' But why not -- they’re not “opposite” in any color wheel, and they’re distinct colors in the (linear) spectrum. So… why is it true?
