republicans looove to be like “why aren’t people having babies? have more babies!” and then actively deconstruct legislation that would help provide the healthcare, food, or daycare for babies and then they take it a step further and kidnap daycare teachers!

We can talk about how this is the kind of shit you do to guide an aging, confused man through his residence/place of work but this is also the kind of thing I do whenever I get my hands on a label-maker

Sorry but I think the theme is here. (Also let it be known Issaquah is an affluent suburb of Seattle… far from “shithole” status.)

Issaquah on edge after ICE arrest outside preschool

A series of immigration arrests has shaken an Issaquah preschool community over the past week. The arrests have also had a ripple effect throughout the city’s education system.

In 1972, Nina Kuscsik was the first woman to enter the New York City Marathon. The male-dominated establishment that oversaw races at the time claimed women risk infertility and could even lose their uteruses by running marathons, but Nina was one of many who proved them wrong.

heartbroken to learn the pope sympathizes with the poor. how can i continue to believe in god

The Pope tweets: "The poor are not there by chance or by blind and cruel fate. Nor, for most of them, is poverty a choice. Yet, there are those who still presume to make this claim, thus revealing their own blindness and cruelty. #DilexiTe"

Someone replies: "I was so hopeful I could be a Catholic again after the disaster that Francis was, guess we just get Francis 2.0 now and I am heartbroken. How do I stay a Catholic now...I don't want to lose faith but I am. You belong to someone else, not God."

Racism is embedded in the death penalty.

This World Against the Death Penalty Day and every other day of the year, we’re calling on our elected officials to work toward an end to capital punishment once and for all.

Graphic reading "Black adults compromise 14% of our nation's population but they account 41% of people currently on death row." Hands holding through jail cells.
