i don't care about any arguments against this. right now the sum total of my political advocacy is: crush the Republicans and make them pay. i don't care what comes after because until we do that nothing better is possible.

What I Saw at a Maternity Ward in Kenya After the U.S. Cut Off Food and Foreign Aid Photographs tell a story of two mothers determined to help their babies gain enough weight to leave the hospital β€” only to face little to no food again.

A maternity ward doctor donated his own blood during surgery to keep a pregnant patient alive.

One woman gained fewer than 10 pounds over her entire pregnancy.

Another collapsed and had seizures during labor.

i've decided not to listen to the audio of a teacher reporting a kindergartender because frankly I don't want to become the person that that event would turn me into. but one thing I hope we are collectively coming to grips with is what it meant that we have lived among such people this whole time

Thank God there were people filming. This administration would have said Alex Pretti pulled a handgun, a package of fentanyl, and a signed copy of the Communist Manifesto if they could.

White House Posts Altered Photo Showing Arrested Minnesota Protester Crying The New York Times ran the image posted by Kristi Noem, the homeland security secretary, as well as the one posted by the White House through an A.I. detection system. It concluded that the White House’s version showed signs of manipulation.

The White House posted a digitally altered image showing a demonstrator involved in interrupting a church service in Minnesota last weekend crying as she was arrested on Thursday.

A previous version of the image, also posted by an official government account, showed her looking forward calmly.

National media should really be covering the fact thay every major school, museum, and arts institution in the Twin Cities, and hundreds of local businesses are closed tomorrow to protest federal occupation.

Nothing like this at this scale has happened anywhere in America anytime in living memory.

The CECOT segment is out there. It's hosted on archive.org, Muller She Wrote, and numerous cloud drives, news sites (real news sites) and elsewhere.

They can't contain it.

All else aside...Bari fucked up so badly with this one.
She brought far more attention to it than it would have had otherwise.

Coast Guard policy on swastikas, nooses will be revised, Noem says Homeland Security Secretary Kristi L. Noem’s announcement follows reports by The Washington Post detailing plans to downgrade the definition of such symbols to β€œpotentially divisive.”

The U.S. Coast Guard will remove language from its workplace harassment policy that changed definition of swastikas and nooses from overt hate symbols to β€œpotentially divisive,” Sec. Noem said, an abrupt switch after the more lenient policy took effect.

Adjuncting is so weird because departments recruit people with exceptional profiles and then don't pay well and then treat you really badly.

Your health care is still legal and protected.Β 

I'll always fight for you.

There’s No Better Pairing for Holiday Tamales than This Cozy Mexican Drink Atole is often enjoyed hot during the holidays, but cooler variations make it a year-round treat.

"In Mexico and Central America, new mothers are given the drink, which is traditionally believed to help stimulate breast milk production. After a death, it’s often served to mourners during the nine days of praying the rosary."
