We gave out 60 just ourselves and each came with a 10lb bag of potatoes and all of the fixings for dinner for 10, AND $25 gift cards. I feel like maybe you could do more, AT&T?

My column from Monday. For the cost of an incomplete 4,000-bed prison in Elmore, Alabama could have paid for five years of health insurance and peace of mind for 174,000 Alabamians.
But our leaders don’t care. Because Alabama government is not designed to help people. It’s meant to control them.

Alabama can never spend enough money on a prison | Alabama Reflector
State leaders who prioritize punishment and control over the welfare of citizens will never see any money spent on walls and bars as wasted.

It is 10 to 9. Our giveaway was supposed to start at 9. By 7:30 there were already more people than bags. By 8:30 I’d already given away all our Christmas gift cards because we ran out of the ones for thanksgiving.

The only truly irreversible thing a trans child is likely to do is take their own life. "What if they do something irreversible?" actually means "theyre not allowed to make a decision!"
You cant undo or reverse any decision you make, you can simply change your mind later and handle the consequences

21 fucking Obgyns were involved in her care. She was hospitalized three times before 9 weeks. This was murder, pure and simple - a conspiracy to just try to keep her body operating long enough to get her to viability.
NEW:
In 2024, Tierra Walker was sick and getting sicker. She was also pregnant.
She knew abortion was illegal in Texas, but thought there was an exception for women like her, whose health was at risk. Doctors told her there was no emergency.
Then she died.

Rudy Bridges is younger than the Sitting President of the United States and 29 sitting United States Senators
It’s useful for people of my generation to be reminded that this wasn’t that long ago. Ruby Bridges isn’t just still alive—she’s only 71, not ancient!
65 years ago on Nov. 14, little Ruby Bridges was escorted into an all-white elementary school in New Orleans. Norman Rockwell, renowned for blissful depictions of Americana, did this remarkable painting for Look magazine. Printed as a double page, over-size spread, it's his masterpiece.

This moment in America makes it glaringly clear: each feeds the other, driven by the same rapacious, profit-maximizing forces.
