I wrote about Khalil being denied a chance to be with his wife while she gave birth to their first child, all because Marco Rubio says Khalil's "expected beliefs" may be bad. I found multiple examples of Rubio talking about how important "being there" is for fathers.

Amazing! We just passed 1000 backers and 80% of our funding threshold... with just 12 hours to go. Holding out hope we can find that other 20%... If you haven't yet, *please* check out our campaign.

One of the fun things I've noticed over the past couple of weeks is how much less posts I'm seeing on Twitter, and how much more posts I'm seeing here. It's like watching a migration in real time :)

As a very, VERY recent convert to Bluesky, I have to say that I now get it. I loved what Twitter used to be (mostly). Bluesky is what Twitter used to be (mostly).
