Since 1909, more than 20K people were forcibly sterilized in California prisons. Victims were often told they needed intensive procedures, w/out being told of the consequences. Now, victims are creating a memorial quilt, partly to push for restitution. missionlocal.org/2025/02/forc...

Also thank you to everyone creating these starter packs! When I first took a look around here a year ago I didn't know how to find anyone. Instantly and easily following so many folks is awesome!

OK. Post-election I immediately caught a bad bug so I spent a week being sick, exhausted, and sad. Now I'm back and ready for what's next. And ready to give socials another try. Took a looong break from the other place but I hear it's nice here? Here for articles, memes, discourse, and plotting.
