I’m kind of speechless with this one. I can’t imagine the kind of person who continues to make the argument that it doesn’t count as real starvation if the kids were already sick.

This is how fascism comes.
225 days ago, you raised your right hand and swore to support & defend the Constitution of the United States. Shame on you.

Be on particular alert for state troopers. They are forming a new arm of the Florida highway patrol specifically to terrorize immigrants and brown people.

The article states that there are currently no concrete plans for Blanding, which will be activated before any panhandle facilities.

When it comes to birth control, Florida is among the most restrictive
Florida stands as the third-most restrictive state in the nation for birth control access, trailing only Kansas and Mississippi, Tallahassee's public radio station WUSF is reporting Monday. A new scorecard published by the Population Reference Bureau (PRB), a nonpartisan health research organization, evaluated states based on policies affecting contraceptive access, separate from abortion restrictions. "Your access to reproductive health care currently depends on where you live, which is a reality that is really unfortunate," said Cathryn Streifel, senior program director at the Population Reference Bureau.

It's honestly extremely American, but that's even more reason to condemn it.
Eleven religious groups are suing the Department of Homeland Security in response to a Trump administration policy reversal ending a decades-long practice protecting houses of worship, schools and hospitals from immigration officials looking to enforce action.

fuck the New York Times and everyone who works or writes for them and please let me emphasize yes, I mean everyone
The NYT's anti-trans fear mongering was cited in a Supreme Court briefing that stripped away the rights of trans kids. They need to be fully blacklisted by queer people and their allies. Don't work for them. Don't use them for book press. Don't speak with them for stories. They made their bed.

ICE's goal is not terror. Terror is a nice byproduct for them, but ICE's goal is ethnic cleansing.

If terror were the main goal, then Stephen Miller wouldn't be screaming at these guys on phone calls about upping their numbers.

Ethnic cleansing requires logistics and it takes resources.

This small scale, inexpensive, beautiful examination of a Florida black boy experiencing child abuse, homophobia, extreme bullying and poverty is screen poetry. Its sadness morphs into tenderness. It won Best Picture over La La Land. Homophobes were NOT amused.

Reminder that this whole red herring argument is based on the misogynistic assumption that men are better at sports than women. This completely ignores the existence of co-ed sports. AND that women regularly spank men in such co-ed sports.
it's unfathomably messed up that the president of the United States is using the power of his office to go after a single high school kid.
he is talking about a trans child in sports

My flat out favorite part of the campaign office is how it’s now a resource for people to get whatever they need: clothes, food, toiletries, chargers, books, and a bunch of other stuff.

If you have items you’d like to donate, drop by our office at 7016 N Clark Street when we’re open! :-)
Someone came to the campaign office today to harass @katmabu.bsky.social. I saw Kat not only show care & empathy for them, but when advised to lock the door, she flatly refused because she didn’t want people not to receive the resources they need. These women had their benefits cut & Kat helped them

The history of the land on which we stand and the people who we came from, and indeed, in some cases still are demand accountability. It is our responsibility to recognize the horrors that we have benefited from, even if we ourselves did not perpetrate them.

I've been poor and legit hungry. I've never been *starving*. I don't think most people know what that means. The body runs through its available carbohydrates, fats, and then proteins (your muscle tissue). Your muscles shrink, and your body loses the ability to regulate its temperature.
