people have hated congress & found it corrupt for a long time but the genocide in gaza is actually really bad and the portion of the electorate that reads the news is, right now, sending a pretty unambiguous message about how they feel about democracy being subverted to ensure it continues

In addition to having no experience in immigration, their website shows Ilya Shapiro (!) and disgraced former law prof Joshua Wright (!) as Senior Counsel. I don't think this massive contract was awarded to give immigrant children effective, zealous advocacy. burkegroup.law/our-team/

26-employee Texas law firm gets $150M to represent 24,000 children in immigration court

I’m sorry, guys. I’ve tried. I’m a devoted horror fan but I have to say it. I’ve never enjoyed a single Sam Raimi movie. I don’t like Sam Raimi movies. I just can’t. This is my confession.

There’s a post about masking on r/transplant and it’s half people who mask and don’t get sick and half people who never mask and get viruses and colds that ruin their plans and say “live your life!” bruh being sick all the time and hospitalized for viruses and infections is not living your life

This case is a terrifying reminder of the fact that being charged with a crime upends your life. Maria Rojas has had her midwifery license suspended, and the conditions of her bond prohibit her from working in healthcare in any capacity. Texas didn't just arrest her, they took away her livelihood.

“The problem is that there's a human being on the other end of whatever political point it is they're trying to make," said an attorney for Maria Rojas, the Texas midwife who is the first person to be prosecuted under the state's criminal abortion ban.

one of the most upsetting experiences of my life has been the realisation i've been accurately describing my symptoms to anyone who'd listen for decades only to be constantly dismissed or even blamed for them.

Rent and bills are kicking my ass right now. It’s gonna be tight for the rest of the year. I wish I had the strength and health to move to a place with cheaper rent. Transplant recovery got me sorta trapped.
