If the β€œillegal” immigrant doesn’t have due process rights, then you don’t either. Due process is what prevents YOU from being taken off the street and sent out of the country to a black site.

COKE ZERO IS NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR DIET COKE- they taste nothing alike. Restaurants, please stop thinking you can have Coke Zero and not have Diet Coke. This is a deal breaker for me. That is all.

Why I'm quitting the Washington Post Democracy can't function without a free press

Folks: please be diligent about not disseminating Ann Telnaes' cartoon in a way that she's not getting the clicks on it (until she says differently). Her IP matters now more than ever.

Make it go viral but make sure she benefits.

Respect to @anntelnaes.bsky.social for quitting the Washington Post due to censorship over her on-point cartoon. More of this from artists and writers, please. Don't obey in advance, especially to the broligarchy.

The Militia and the Mole Outraged by the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, a wilderness survival trainer spent years undercover climbing the ranks of right-wing militias. He didn’t tell police or the FBI. He didn’t tell family or friends. The one person he told was a ProPublica reporter.

Blake Lively, Justin Baldoni and a Smear Campaign After β€˜It Ends With Us’ Private messages detail an alleged campaign to tarnish Blake Lively after she accused Justin Baldoni of misconduct on the set of β€œIt Ends With Us.”

www.nytimes.com/2024/12/21/b...

The coordinated attack Baldoni masterminded on Blake Lively is disgusting. I hope everyone’s eyes are opened to it now.

The conspiracies are crazy and involve the military looking for missing Russian/Ukrainian nuclear weapons. Let’s pray that’s not true!

Infant Mortality Increases Across US Following Dobbs Decision The Dobbs decision was associated with a 7% absolute increase in overall infant mortalityβ€”equivalent to 247 excess deathsβ€”and a 10% increase among infants with congenital anomalies, corresponding to 2...

Me, a public health person, just sitting over here reflecting on the fact that the US has experienced a 7% increase in infant mortality post-Dobbs.

Like, do you realize what that says about this society from an ethical perspective? That we made policy choices that caused this?

A Third Woman Died Under Texas’ Abortion Ban. Doctors Are Avoiding D&Cs and Reaching for Riskier Miscarriage Treatments. Thirty-five-year-old Porsha Ngumezi’s case raises questions about how abortion bans are pressuring doctors to avoid standard care even in straightforward miscarriages.

NEW: Porsha Ngumezi is the fifth case we've reported on in which a woman died after not receiving a D&C or its second-trimester equivalent in time, or at all.

Her case raises questions about how abortion bans are pressuring doctors to avoid standard care even in straightforward miscarriages.
