Kelly@broadwaybabyto.bsky.social · 18h agoThis is straight out of Handmaids Tale. A high school trying to force girls to disclose the dates and lengths of their menstrual cycle. Don’t comply?

Sadie spent the morning at the groomer. She smells much better than she did after rolling in the mud of a mostly dry creek bed. 62 days without measurable rain! #DogsOfBlueSky

Great idea! Police officers and some firefighters have to submit blood, hair, and fingerprints so they can be ruled out of crime scene evidence, and if ICE agents are law enforcement officers they should have to do the same.
