I'm going to alienate some people now. Abortion is a critical part of gynecological care. Full stop. Hormonal birth control is used by many individuals simply to regulate difficult menstrual cycles. Legislators who don't understand the minutiae of reproductive biology should SHUT THE FUCK UP.
The ocean we see today carries our footprint.Plastic drifting through currents. Ghost nets trapping wildlife. Overfishing emptying ecosystems. Coral reefs fading. Noise and pollution changing a world that cannot speak for itself. The ocean does not need us to survive.But we need the ocean to survive

Corporate spending on elections has already topped $500 million this year. That's one third of the $1.58 billion in total that corporations have spent since Citizens United in 2010. Hawaii and Montana both have plans to neutralize this disastrous SCOTUS ruling. Other states must get on board.
Why are people still watching the Sunday shows where they're platforming a bunch of liars that don't stop lying? What is the legitimate newsworthy purpose of that? Why are you promoting their appearances on these TV shows where all they do is lie? Also why are you watching? How is that helpful?
Man, what a bummer. I really hope they can recover. Spokane and its peeps are solid. Good luck yall!
Walls of flames and smoke are destroyed homes in the Indian Trail Neighborhood on Saturday evening amid one of the worst natural disasters in the city’s history.
There it is… owner of these teams is also another horrible person.
Now I know why Trump got the ring from the Dodgers. The guy that owns the Dodgers and the Lakers also owns a for profit detention centers. You gotta reward the guy who gives you billions in government contracts.
Rand Paul is a jerk. Just ask his neighbor.
Rand Paul forced 85-year-old Fauci to testify before Congress…but 84-year-old McConnell has been out of view for six weeks since his hospitalization and Paul hasn’t said a word. Funny how accountability only matters when it’s politically convenient. #USDemocracy #Pinks apple.news/Ah6CfULsHTBi...

Madonna: “The excitement people get from watching others being silenced, blacklisted, or torn down — it’s disturbing." A reminder that democracy depends on protecting voices, not celebrating their removal. Yes, "We The People" DOES mean everyone. #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

Warning Signs: Trump’s War on the Smithsonian and the Battle for American Memory
For years, conservatives denounced what they called “cancel culture,” arguing that it erased history, silenced dissenting voices, and replaced uncomfortable truths with politically convenient…

A perfect example of how we’ve declined; in both intellectual aptitude and common decency.
Watching Dr. Fauci today, having to plead the Fifth, will remain one of the most heartbreaking things I have ever witnessed. And then hearing Sen. Moreno ask him, “Who the fuck do you think you are?” To me, it reflects a profound loss of respect, for both public service and the office he holds.
Hmmpht… we’ll see if they let her see.
Blanche has until July 30 to hand over some key unredacted Epstein files. What he finds could change everything. A federal judge is about to see something the rest of the world hasn’t: some of the DOJ’s unredacted Jeffrey Epstein files. msmagazine.com/2026/07/29/t...
🎤 James Talarico has agreed to THREE televised debates. Ken Paxton still hasn’t accepted a single one. If you’re asking Texans to send you to the Senate, you shouldn’t be afraid to stand on a debate stage and answer their questions. What’s the holdup? www.wfaa.com/article/news...

Look at Texas bypassing Arkansas… y’all must be so proud! Course, we got the highest infant mortality… so we’re still number one at something… 🤨 go red, end up 💀.
The lone star on the flag is actually a review. More than 6 million Texans experienced hunger in 2024, the most of any state in the nation, according to the latest Feeding America report that tracks food insecurity – and it’s Texas’ third year topping the list. bit.ly/4bCOuFF
"So far, it's been knockout after knockout by me against Todd Blanche." Katie Phang on her lawsuit over the Epstein Files Transparency Act.
He really does run to the Supreme Court with emergency filings every chance he gets. Trump just asked the Supreme Court to overturn the $83.3 million jury award against him for defaming writer E. Jean Carroll after a jury found he made false and damaging statements about her.
Trump Asks Supreme Court to Overturn $83.3 Million Award in Carroll Defamation Case
President Trump paid E. Jean Carroll more than $5 million from a 2023 lawsuit, but he is now asking the court to overturn a much larger award that a jury ordered him to pay in 2024 for defaming her.

Can’t blame yall… and we don’t! ☮️🇨🇦
Trump keeps bragging he’s “making America rich.” Meanwhile, Canadians pulled $2.3 billion out of the U.S. economy by taking their vacations and their money somewhere else. Turns out alienating your biggest customer is terrible for business. 🇨🇦 #USDemocracy #Pinks apple.news/A3j4UCEmQROe...
Trump delivered his own eulogy, in which he went off-script and made fun of Graham a little, with all of his friends and family present, and reminded the audience about the time he publicly shared Graham’s cell phone number. That was a nasty moment in time that should have been left in the past.

Rigged.
FT reporting that Joshua Kushner, brother of Jared, wants to lead this deal…which underscores yet again that the World Cup hydration breaks and half-time show were the thin end of a Trumpian wedge to dominate the business of the game. Grift everwhere you look. www.bbc.com/sport/footba...
