Mother of a multitude, Grandmother to more. Quietly watching. When women get quiet, men in power should start to worry. We bow to no one.
Dear Victims, I believe you, no matter what BS they try to pull! Also, I think it's time for MTG to read the list.

So, does the temporary occupant of the Oval Office watch movies and think "hey, that's a good idea!" (We all know the orange one doesn't read books, so had to be the movie.) Bring on the Hunger Games!

Today, French lawmakers unanimously approved a bill exonerating women punished for abortion before it was legalized in 1975.
This "is an act of justice toward those thousands of lives shattered by unjust laws," said Aurore Bergé, minister-delegate for gender equality.
France exonerates women convicted over abortions before legalisation
Between 1870 and 1975, more than 11,660 people were convicted for performing or seeking an abortion, according to official estimates.

This is an important read by a researcher who has investigated the many deceptive and harmful practices of unregulated pregnancy centers in the US. It's astounding what these fake clinics are allowed to get away with.
Supreme Court case about ‘crisis pregnancy centers’ highlights debate over truthful advertising standards
There are some 2,500 of these centers across the United States. Many are located within a mile of an abortion provider.

More needs to be said about the links between the rise of authoritarian politics and the popularity of authoritarian “fitness” and “diet” regimes. Concentrating on religion ignores the creeping authoritarian push in many secular areas of society.

Back when I did research, just making up data used to be called academic misconduct.

Times have changed.
Did you know that from tomorrow, Qualtrics is offering synthetic panels (AI-generated participants)?

Follow me down a rabbit hole I'm calling "doing science is tough and I'm so busy, can't we just make up participants?"

Healing from trauma & abuse is seldom done in a vacuum. You still have to show up for work, or you have young children depending on you. Any number of things.

Offer grace to people in your life. We truly don't know what may be going on.

The media needs to stop writing headlines like “The CDC changes course on vaccines and autism” and “The CDC defends measles response”.

NONE of this is coming from legitimate scientists at the CDC.

ALL of it is coming from RFK Jr.

Every such headline is causing further harm to public health.

Missouri’s referendum system exists to ensure lawmakers can’t insulate themselves from accountability. When 300,000 people sign their names to challenge a law, they aren’t offering a suggestion. They are exercising a constitutional veto belonging to the voters alone. #moleg #mogov

This weekend’s shootings featured victims of former atrocities terrorized again

2 Brown students were in a previous school shooting

This man was a Holocaust survivor

Sometimes it seems as though the universe is SCREAMING at us to pay attention and act…

And in the USA we never meet the challenge.
“Words fail me when I read that Alex Kleytman, an 87-year-old Ukrainian Holocaust survivor, was celebrating Hanukkah at Bondi Beach with his wife of 57 years, also a Holocaust survivor. He was killed while shielding Larisa from the bullets with his own body.”

How do we talk about issues without feeding the ego because we react to every egregious post? I have a hunch that the temporary occupant of the oval office keeps track of the numbers as to who is talking about him. Clearly, we must stay informed, but can we avoid the attention trap?
