A DNA Technique Is Finding Women Who Left Their Babies for Dead www.nytimes.com/2025/06/03/u... It’s wrong to force women to stay pregnant, cut snap and Medicaid and then prosecute women whose sin is that they couldn’t see a way to be a mom . Let’s prevent, unwanted pregnancy to prevent the rest.

If you think a just-fertilized ovary is entitled to life but are indifferent to what happens to a kidnapped 4-year-old with cancer, sent to a dangerous country without meds, you don’t give a fuck about the lives of children. You are just in a cult that fetishizes being against abortions.

This mob boss shit just made me donate $ to Act Blue. I hope you will join me. It's enough with attempting to silence the Democratic party by shutting down the $$.

Usually when states go to court alleging federal coercion in violation of the 10th Amendment there is not a literal video of the President doing it.
TRUMP: The NCAA has complied immediately. That's good. But I understand Maine -- is the governor of Maine here?

JANET MILLS: Yeah I'm here

TRUMP: Are you not gonna comply?

JM: I'm going to comply with state and federal law

T: You better do it bc you're not gonna get any federal funding at all

So, this makes sewing machine number 5 for me. Yes, they all work. Now I can Longarm quilt my own quilt tops into fancier blankets than I could before. It’s a huge step and I’ve still got technical issues + learning curve ahead. 🙀 I’m hoping to connect to other quilters here.
