Whoops! Trump’s team “mistakenly” fired hundreds of CDC scientists — including the very experts fighting measles and deadly outbreaks — and is now scrambling to rehire them.

Let’s not forget.
Military status below officer grade doesn’t even get paid minimum wage.
That’s one MILLION active duty soldiers.
These families live paycheck to paycheck.
No way to save for the shutdown.
One missed check?
Devastating.
Two? Now you’re homeless but expected to report.

"In a time of darkness, New York must be the light." @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social makes a 2-minute ad about transgender rights, while sitting at the Christopher Street Pier in NYC. And yes, I'm crying, too.

Due to Tennessee’s abortion ban, Mayron Hollis was forced to continue a pregnancy that threatened her life. An emergency delivery left her without a uterus and her baby with medical issues.

This was their first year in a post-Roe state (pub. Feb. 2024):

She Was Denied an Abortion After Roe Fell. This Is a Year in Her Family’s Life.

Tennessee law prohibits women from having abortions in nearly all circumstances. But once the babies are here, the state provides little help. We followed one family as they struggled to make it.
