If they ban abortion in all states, it’s time to start putting laws around the male part of conception. Women can’t self impregnate but seem to bear all responsibility. It’s time the men get some skin in the game. Garnish their wages for every pregnancy within marriage or not. Level this oppression

“We had no alternative except to take his word for it” is a load of garbage. The alternative was not confirming him. He absolutely had an alternative. Where is the follow up from the press?

For the first time in more than 70 years, women took the field in a professional baseball game. Dreams that generations fought for are finally becoming reality. Here’s to every girl who has ever been told, “Baseball isn’t for you.” Keep proving them wrong💪 #WomensSports #SheShed #ViVaHerAlliance
Amen brother. I almost died from a miscarriage many years ago. Now women are dying from them again. The pretend pro-lifers are making women unnecessarily fearful of pregnancy because they can’t get life-saving care in the event of an adverse pregnancy.
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.

Atlantic puffins typically live between 20 and 30 years in the wild. They are monogamous and mate for life, returning to the exact same burrows and partners each year. They perform a tender billing ritual by topping and rubbing their beaks together, reinforcing their bond

Trump sued Capital One to prove they closed his accounts over politics. The bank’s answer, filed Friday: it was the anti-money-laundering desk. Months of review. Three hundred accounts. He pulled that thread himself.
We deserve to know where the tariff money is. Americans also deserve to see how much debt we’ve been able to pay down YTD. Let’s start getting some facts out to the public, please. @sanders.senate.gov @ossoff.senate.gov @kim.senate.gov @aoc.bsky.social @reptedlieu.bsky.social
The lazy sociopath who golfs instead of working (on, say, a plan to win a war with Iran) wants terminally ill patients to work for benefits they’re entitled to.

Performative bullshit. Fauci is a hero. Besides, they’re trying to ban an 85-year-old retiree from a job he already left.
