No one experiencing the tragedy of a miscarriage should be arrested, much less abandoned in jail for 5 months with a $100k bond. But that’s exactly what happened to Mallori Patrice Strait in Texas. Women, particularly women of color, in this country are no longer allowed dignity even in extreme loss

Good morning and Happy Sunday to everyone who agrees that Republicans really don't give a shit about the poor by cutting SNAP benefits.
REMINDER that the Biden Administration proudly cut child hunger in HALF. The trump Admin is probably going to double or triple it.

“One young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, ‘I’m not a gang member. I’m gay. I’m a barber.’ I believed him. *** He “began to whimper,” as his head was roughly shaved, “folding his hands in prayer as his hair fell.” He “asked for his mother & cried as he was slapped again.”

One of the executive orders this week prevents federal agencies from communicating about health or science. This means that NIH researchers can't attend planned conferences. The CDC can't publish a scheduled report on avian flu. The FDA cannot communicate regarding in-process drug approvals.

DEI doesn’t mean hiring unqualified people—it means tearing down rigged systems that kept qualified talent out. Giving everyone a fair shot, breaking down barriers that have historically excluded talent. Diversity brings fresh perspectives, drives innovation, and reflects the world being served.

Trump just revoked the Equal Employment Opportunity executive order of 1965, rolling back 60 years of progress on civil rights.
The order had prohibited employment discrimination in federal hiring based on race, religion, and gender.
