Iowa ranks last among states for the number of OB-GYNS per capita. State legislators are trying to recruit more, but some doctors say the state's strict abortion ban is partially to blame. n.pr/493YcAm

Two more people have been killed as Hegseth carried out another boat strike in the Eastern Pacific. He said: “Protecting the homeland is our TOP priority” No trial No due process No evidence Just murder. This is at least the 16th strike and 66 people have been killed.

guys this is so good, the Chicago Hot Priest is back with a little man bun getting right up in the faces of armed ICE goons to tell them they should put down their guns and quit their jobs because they’re disappointing their Sunday school teachers www.instagram.com/reel/DQm-ZzZ...

The questions it raises are all specifically premised on the clear and immutable fact, not present at all in this framing, that this "move" is illegal, is not legal, is criminal, is a crime.

Well.....SAME

listen I am NOT a military security expert but I HAVE seen “Star Trek: Into Darkness” fourteen times aren’t there generally, like. pretty good reasons. why you avoid bringing in all your biggest military leaders from all over the world and then announcing exactly what building they’ll be in when

Repost from @liberaljane.bsky.social We have been a feminist organization since our beginning and we know we need intersectional feminism more than ever. Intersectional feminism is feminism that is inclusive of BIPOC women and trans women. If it’s not intersectional, it ain’t feminism. Period.

Pulitzer Feeling Increasingly Out Of Place In Washington Post Office

Old Soviet joke for today: A man walks into a newsstand every day, looks around, and leaves. After a long time of this, the owner says “Can I help you find something?” “I’m looking for the obituaries.” “The obituaries are in the back of the newspaper, comrade.” “Not the one I’m looking for.”

Taking photos and video of law enforcement officers performing their duties in public is our constitutional right. This includes police, FBI, National Guard troops, ICE agents, and other government officials.

Newsom: If California, one of the most un-Trumped states in America, is not successful, it’s at our peril. We may not get this back. I’m telling you, we may not. He is rigging this next midterm election before one vote is cast. He tried to wreck our democracy after the last vote was cast last time.

😂😭... *yes.*

CNN is reporting the FEMA response was delayed 3 days because of Noem’s cost controls, and FEMA officials were “taken aback” by how limited the agency’s response was.

If it took 8 days to build a massive concentration camp in Florida then it means they could build and house the homeless at any point but choose not to

Just to be clear, this is rape culture, pure and simple, and I’m begging people to remember one (1) thing about the US legal system before saying shit like this.

A Dem lawmaker and her husband were killed by a guy for their political views and it’s already out of the news.

Why do you think he chose today to say this? When people ask, "Name one racist thing Trump has ever done" show them this.

When Trump finally dies there will be calls for civility and “respect for the office” from even his harshest critics and I’m telling you right now I plan on saying things so harsh they might knock the earth off its axis

We won’t amplify it, but the president posting that Dems are “sick of mind” and “hate our country” immediately after 2 Dem lawmakers and their spouses were shot in their homes is the opposite of leadership. Gas on the fire.

Rep. Maxine Waters calmly attempts to access LA Federal Building to check on David Huerta and is denied, recalling lawless shabby treatment of mayor Ras Baraka and Reps. Bonnie Watson Coleman, Rob Menendez and LaMonica McIver when they attempted to access a NJ ICE facility

100% meeee 💙📚

The head of FEMA who said he didn't know there's a hurricane season is a white man with no prior experience managing natural disasters who got his job despite his lack of qualifications in large part because of his race and gender.

1. Florida banned cities from lighting up bridges rainbow colors for Pride. So the people of Jacksonville did it themselves using flashlights and gels. They opened the drawbridge to block them. So they marched to a different bridge. The latest from S. Baum. Subscribe to support our journalism.

What happens when you vote for ignorance.

Today the Supreme Court cleared the way for the federal government to transfer thousands of acres of national forestland including a Native American sacred site, to Resolution Copper a mining company owned by Rio Tinto and BHP. The land holds deep spiritual significance for the Western Apache tribe.

Memorial Day. The day we're supposed to honor those who gave all in service to their country, MANY of whom were not treated as full citizens BY their country, but still put duty before self in the hopes of full acceptance. And then, this POS. www.rawstory.com/trump-memori...

as a grantwriter working on digital equity since 2017 - access to technology and affordable internet is broadly considered part of core wraparound services now. you can’t apply for jobs, access gov’t benefits etc without it. ignore online hot takes. people actually doing the work know this

transport the lanai to Betazed, rename the show “Daughters of the Fifth House,” and you would not have to change a single other thing to seamlessly insert Lwaxana Troi into this ensemble as if she had always been there

Sunny day, sweeping my cares away! ❤️🥰

We fucking told y'all This is why defending Ukraine is critical Russia will steam roll Europe like Germany in WWII This time with America's help

Me on hour 14 of dragging Republican Medicaid cuts for filth and giving them no end in sight

NPR has identified three Trump administration officials with close ties to antisemitic extremists, including a prominent Holocaust denier.

It's breaking my heart watching this sweet attraction grow between them, when we know that in real life that Cassie didn't marry.

Oh shit. Cassandra really IS unwell! Maybe that headache wasn't all a scam!

“Was I delightful?” “No, you were frightful.” Jane is my people. 🤣 #MissAustenPBS

It's Mrs Hughes from Downton Abbey!! #missaustenpbs

Mary is definitely bringing some reality to Cassandra's memories!

I just realized that Cassandra is still wearing mourning for Tom, but no one else is 🥺 #missaustenpbs

Somebody needs to accidentally on purpose spill a cup of tea on Mary! #missaustenpbs

RFK Jr talking about the need for doctors to know how to treat measles for those who are unvaccinated. “Only very sick kids should die from measles.” No. They shouldn’t. That was the point of the vaccine. We eradicated the virus so children didn’t die. Sick & disabled kids are not expendable!

Greyhound been the getaway bus of choice since segregation. They know what it is.

Almost every line of this story would have been simply unbelievable a few months ago: —Pioneering cancer researcher; —*Arrested* at airport in Boston; —Now indefinite ICE detention in Louisiana; —"Crime": not declaring some frog-embryo samples for research. Read it. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Every day I just get more and more pissed off. Is there a limit to how much anger we can carry?
