Also, what's with the "I'm a dad." NO ONE CARES IF YOU'RE A DAD. Does having children make you stupid? I stg, every censorship wave uses children to launder bullshit.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt is supporting The Heritage Foundation's tech policy agenda, boosting a proposed law by Lindsey Graham that would mass deplatform LGBTQ people and censor abortion content from the internet. And he's trying to frame it as progressive!

Forgive the Dutch angle, but it was so nice to see and hear more protesters this afternoon. I didn’t even know there was a protest today but it’s wonderful to see people stand up for what’s right.

Rental assistance hotlines in the state say calls for help have skyrocketed this year. Some callers say they’re not going to work because they’re afraid they’ll be detained by ICE if they leave the house. Others say a family breadwinner was detained, leaving them struggling to pay the bills.

Musk promised to sell his Tesla stock and solve world hunger if United Nations World Food Program would describe exactly how $6B would be used.
When WFP did exactly that - he didn't do jack squat. Musk is incredibly full of shit.

I worry that part of the condition of Trump’s “Free” IVF is that some will have to be unpaid gestational surrogates for babies that will either go to the rich or will grow up in orphanages to become a new lower working class.
they're trying to be coy about salivating over the prospect of raping women, they'll contest that but if pushed to explain, that's exactly what they would describe. forced pregnancy of any kind, by a man or by the state, is gender-based violence

The two children who returned to MN today say they saw one of their Valley View schoolmates at a detention center in TX. This is a child whose family was last in contact with the school on January 9. No one has known where they were until now.

One of the most frustrating things about getting sick as a woman with infertility is that the first thing that family/friends/medical providers will typically ask is if you may be pregnant. Can’t a gal just vomit or faint without pregnancy being brought up?

Alabama's maternal health stats are akin to those of Venezuela or Colombia. California's stats are closer to those of Sweden or The Netherlands. And this reflects sharply on quality of life.
Alabama has the worst maternal mortality in the United States at 60 deaths per 100K live births. For reference, California has 18 deaths per 100K live births.
But Dr. Oz thinks it’s “cool” that American citizens do not have access to good reproductive healthcare in the wealthiest nation in history.

Dr Oz: "Alabama has no OBGYNs in many of their counties, so they're doing something pretty cool. They're actually having robots do ultrasounds on these pregnant moms."
