Washington state to fund Planned Parenthood after Medicaid cuts

This is why it matters who the Pope is.
Not because it angers them, but because it doesn't give them credibility and it perhaps helps to remind those who need reminding that we (theoretically) have separation of church and state in this country.

Laura Loomer lamented that the new pope ‘is anti-Trump, anti-MAGA, pro-open Borders, and a total Marxist like Pope Francis,’ adding that it’s ‘GROSS’ that he now leads the Catholic Church

And because I'm never bored and will always go the extra mile for friends, I've been hard at work on the CD and Vinyl designs for #zafaranmusic 's self-titled release, and thoroughly enjoying the chance to revisit memories of our shoot on the #viaappiaantica in Rome!

Israel is bombing Gaza again. Here's what doctors are seeing on the ground.
"I think ceasefire is a very loose term,” said one physician in Gaza. “I wouldn’t say we entered Gaza at a time of peace and quiet.”
