Multiple jail officials were involved, perhaps up to the entirety of the staff, and only 1 is getting charges. Charges that will undoubtedly result in a too-light sentence, because this is a country that has put people away for life for nonviolent drug offences but can’t seem to ever match that energy when it comes to…

As someone whose parents stayed together for her sake, I say, “Fuck you, JD Vance.” They both would have been happier if they had divorced when I was 8. I would not have gone to women’s shelter with my mom for multiple weekends, then gone back home. I would not have had to sit in the back seat of a police car while…

What a pathetic douchebag. It’s kind of amazing how far into the past Republicans want to drag us. My parents got divorced (technically separated, but functionally a divorce) when my father came out. It wasn’t fun, and it was briefly really upsetting, but it was a lot better than the pretend marriage they had before,…

Apart from general wealth the US was already the laughing stock of developed nations for many years now, but the turn over the last few years feels like a whole other level and actually quite scary. 

Why did I read this? 🤢🤮

a “sinking swamp” of “parasites” with “illicit dreams and schemes.”

They would make it NOT illegal to deny contraception.  For any reason including as petty as “my religion thinks you shouldn’t have nice things”

Lol. America has become such a backwards nation. You may turn in your “1st world” card at the door on your way over to sit at the 3rd world table.

I remember a quote from Ivana to the effect that after the kids turned 16 (18?) she turned them over to Donald to finish raising.

They want to allow the states that are banning abortion to also ban contraception. And if they regain control of Congress and the White House, they will likely try to pass similar bans on the federal level.

It’s about the right to obtain and use, not government funding. The Republicans certainly are biding their time for the making-it-illegal part.

Also over-policing communities of color and blocking attempts to legalize drugs like marijuana, to feed bodies into the prison-industrial economy of legalized slavery that has persisted since the 19th century.

I’m not sure anyone can afford a one income household with kids. Even women who would like to stay home

Said the most racist person you’ve ever met. And I guarantee he hit on Hutchinson and Griffin.  And I guarantee they both shot his weak ass down.

Again and again, this is partly religious and partly economic. Before women poured into the workforce in the late 60s/early 70s, your average white man had an unpaid indentured servant who performed cooking, housework and childcare in exchange for free room and board, leaving Daddy free to smoke and work. This was…

And it’s just picking up steam. Pretty sure that 2024 is the last chance for a an actual free election. After that, it will be “Christian” fascism for the future.

100% wrong. Medically it is absolutely considered a pregnancy. If my patient has had an ectopic pregnancy, and I was asked if my patient had ever been pregnant before, the ONLY correct medical answer would be YES. Being even more pedantic, the shorthand docs use is “G” (For gravida-i.e. pregnancies) and “P” (for…

Ectopic pregnancy is a pregnancy, no sarcastic quotations needed. That ZEF will latch on and continue to replicate and expand on any hospitable tissue or environment— it does not discriminate, nor is it cognizant that it is the spawn of an unviable pregnancy.

They just left because the suspect matched the description of someone who lived there? The fucking alarm company people do a better job following up when I forget to turn it off and let the dog out at 2 am.
