This war is completely illegitimate: 60% of Americans disapprove of going to war with Venezuela—74% disapprove war without Congressional approval. Only 19% are in favor.

The people oppose it. Our representatives didn’t approve it. Trump should be removed for this unconstitutional war.

Within the 30+ year right wing project to get Americans to not care about anyone outside of their own country has been a 10+ year right wing project to get Americans to not care about anyone at all whatsoever

Aside from the issues directly presented by one's disability, a big reason disabled people are so lonely and more likely to be mentally ill is because no one is invested in being able to take us along.

A growing body of research indicates that Texas's restrictive abortion bans have negatively impacted the health and lives of Texas women and babies in multiple ways. Across the board, pregnancy outcomes and complications have worsened.
What researchers have discovered about maternal, infant health under Texas' abortion laws
In the more than four years since the state of Texas significantly restricted access to abortion, medical researchers have been studying the health effects of that policy change.

Let’s talk about something not many people are chatting about and what’s actually happening right now.

You might wonder why Imran Ahmed and the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH) suddenly became targets of the U.S. government. The honest answer is that their research hit where it hurt.

If you think public health policy/ advice should be

“You don’t need testing if you’re sexually active and you’re super duper sure your partner wouldn’t cheat on you”

Instead of

“Sexually active people should get tested regularly”

You are reactionary

Share and tell CBS to air this! Sharyn Alfonsi, the veteran “60 Minutes” correspondent who reported a segment about migrants sent to the El Salvadoran torture prison CECOT, just sent a blistering letter to colleagues, sounding the alarm that Bari Weiss spiked the story for political reasons.

Just now, a national trans healthcare felony ban for youth has passed the US House, with 10 year prison terms.

3 Dems crossed party lines to vote to jail providers.

4 GOP crossed party lines to vote against.

It is not expected to pass the Senate, where Dems hold filibuster power.

Story to come.

trump said when he was campaigning that he was going to make "America affordable again.
Now he's saying that affordability is a Democrat hoax.
MAGA will believe anything this dumb son of a bitch says.
