I find it helpful when people out themselves through the casual use of “hysterical”- just as I find it when people talk about IQ.

Here’s the deal: ICE officers shouldn’t be allowed to carry firearms at all. If they find themselves in a potentially violent situation, they should retreat and call the local police to handle it.

Dear restaurants: Table for 1 should not mean I'm automatically seated at the worst table in the restaurant. I'm already eating solo... How much more must I endure? (3 for 3 right next to the toilet).

The mansplay. Do you not feel my leg?? First, a 14 hour flight. Now just 1 hour drive but I've lost my mind and I'm pissed. Men, space does not default to your lazy legs.

The Louisiana argument is essentially that you CAN use race to be racist but you CAN'T use race to ameliorate racism.

It takes a serious level of cruelty to not only kick millions off their health insurance, but simultaneously tell you where you can and can’t go to get a Pap smear or breast cancer screening — if you’re deemed worthy enough to keep your health insurance in the first place.
🚨The GOP provision to DEFUND Planned Parenthood is staying in the Big Ugly bill. Clinics will shutter. Women will lose access to cancer screenings, birth control, and basic care.
I will be forcing a vote to try to strip it out.
Fight like hell. We need to kill this bill.

Three years today since the fall of Roe v. Wade and every terrible thing we thought would happen has happened. Women dying of sepsis. Women forced to give birth to babies with no chance of survival after birth, and then watch them suffer and die.

And they used a miscarriage later in pregnancy to do it because of course they did. Are we ready to talk seriously about personhood and “viability” yet?
One of the most alarming parts of this case is that it seems to be the first time Georgia authorities have attempted to use a fetal-personhood law that has been on the books for six years to bring criminal charges, Dana Sussman at @pregnancyjust.bsky.social told me.
