Always has been. And WOC? No question. 90% if all violent crimes, by men. 98% if political crimes? Men.

We stand with NYS AG and all the other women, political, intimate, stranger—abused, assaulted, murdered by men. And we do so fearlessly.

Not to mention Librarian Carla Hayden and the harassment of your Federal Reserve governor, Lisa Cook. It seems like more than a coincidence that four of the officials targeted are Black women.

honestly fu** you if you think gazans are only allowed to ask for help to cover their very basic necessities when they’re starving or being killed, calling a gazan a grifter for trying to secure her education proves that you don’t see gazans as humans who deserve to live equally.

If you rename the Department of Defense the Department of War, then bomb fishing boats in the Caribbean, and shoot an unarmed priest in the head with a pepper bullet, you should automatically be barred from receiving the Nobel Peace Prize for the rest of your life.

This was a good explanation until they reinforced dehumanizing gender norms comparing men's wealth to women's humanity. A man who thinks women lack desirability after a certain age is a man who thinks women are subhuman to be used & discarded.

The alleged impetus for this letter is the FDA approving a generic mife last week, which it was required to do by law. Catch up here:

What FDA Approval of a New Generic Abortion Pill Means for Access

Another generic form of mifepristone will hit the market soon, but there isn’t much else to celebrate.

NEW: 51 Senators urge RFK Jr. and Marty Makary to end telemedicine prescriptions of the abortion drug mifepristone— and to suspend its distribution as an "imminent hazard" under Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. Collins and Murkowski only GOP members not to sign

screenshot of letter dated 10/9/25
Today, your agencies have all the information they need to bring an end to previous Democrat-administrations’ abortion drug regulations while a comprehensive review is conducted. As a starting point,
we recommend the following:
1. Suspend the approval of any new generic versions of mifepristone pending the outcome of the REMS safety review;
2. Commit to ensuring that all generic versions of mifepristone are included in the ongoing reevaluation of prior REMS approvals;
3. Reinstate the in-person dispensing requirement for mifepristone and all its generic versions;
4. Suspend the distribution of mifepristone and all generic versions as an “imminent hazard” under Section 505(e) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FDCA); and
5. Withdraw FDA guidance permitting pharmacy distribution of mifepristone and all its generic versions.

We are committed to continuing to work together to give a voice to the voiceless and protect women from the dangerous effects of unregulated access to chemical abortion drugs. The life, safety, freedom, and health of millions of Americans, born and unborn, depend on it.

Trapping women in motherhood is a highly effective way to force them to settle for less-than-ideal partners and/or less-than-ideal jobs.

Are you stopping them? Doesn’t look like it.

Analysis is 100% right but it’s important not to blow smoke when your citizens are getting brutalized. Maybe all the people saying the governor has no legit way of actually stopping them are correct! But if you can’t, then don’t claim you are.

Pritzker: "I think it's important to recognize that the Trump administration does not seem to respect any laws in the United States. They just do what they want to do and they'll keep doing it unless someone stops them. Here in Illinois we're stopping them."

So what's your suggestion? Apparently you don't think people should accurately describe the illegal state violence from Trump and Miller. So how specifically do you think people should talk about the fascistic reality we're living in?

You realize you’re intimating civil war which is exactly what Trump and Miller are hoping for. Don’t forget the feds have more money and resources than states.

Not "a little."
Not "sometimes."
Not "occasionally."
Not even "when mandated."

50% NEVER read.

Which means the 50% that does is also probably an extremely small amount

When you're used to dominating any conversation, *any* time taken by a woman feels like too much. I think there was a study that proved as much -- men perceive women talking much more than they do (because men are impatient to get the spotlight back).
