All reporting on “6 week abortion bans” should explain how weeks are calculated in pregnancy, because the term is misleading and I bet most people actually have no idea what timeframe it’s referring to.

Take it up with your state legislature. Not knowing someone is a minor is never a defense in child sex cases. See what the political appetite is to change that.

You think this person should have been forced to be a parent? 

She said at one point in her stories that people kept asking her about it/taking his side and she got tired of having to explain herself repeatedly

I’ll never understand how people can read about manipulative/abusive/controlling behavior and then their response is “well no one FORCED them to be there.” Complete misunderstanding of how those relationships begin and progress. Narcissists, controllers, abusers, etc gradually break you down in bits and pieces to…

If all this stuff was available to Twitter sleuths in a day, it was there for Keke Palmer the whole time. Maybe she doesn’t care. Maybe she likes it. She would know better the type of person he’s been this whole time. 

I dunno, now the story’s made the news hasn’t it? Protest is supposed to be inconvenient. I don’t know how shaming them for a temporary inconvenience is your takeaway from an article about a fascist group that is on the rise across the country. 

She’s not saying she is owed anything. Some bars have been promoting that they DO still have bud light, as a signal that they’re inclusive or something. So she’s just noting that in the fact of an unprecedented level of personal attacks and death threats, Bud Light did nothing, that they are not progressive heroes,…

What are the disturbing allegations? Trauma dumping? 

Her fans call themselves victims now and say she “emotionally groomed them for her own benefit” (actual quote from the linked article) because they spent their teen years with their nose buried in an ipad DM’ing her about her personal life. A chronically online take.

The only source on this seemingly is the linked HuffPo article which does not seem to do much critical questioning of these people painting themselves as victims

Isn’t the point of grooming to acclimate someone to a sexual relationship? Did that happen here or was it all just online?

I like to make dried citrus slices (just cut them into rounds and dehydrate them for hours at the lowest temp in your oven), and always have a bunch of mint around - throwing in a citrus slice and a sprig of mint elevates any regular old sparkling water to a fancy beveragino.

Where I live, an elderly partially deaf/blind black man shot through his door when he thought someone was breaking in. Unfortunately someone was breaking in, but it was a firefighter responding to a fire outside. Firefighter didn’t think anyone lived there so had not announced himself.

It’s not an either/or thing. You can charge someone with murder *and* manslaughter, and let a jury decide. 

Nostalgia for the past is one of the hallmarks of authoritarianism

I have always, always, always been pro-choice. I thought I couldn’t get any more pro-choice. But now that I’m pregnant, I feel it so much more deeply. No one who is not deeply committed to this should have to go through it, it’s a fundamental re-wiring of how your body works.

It’s always been ironic to me how we’ve fashioned ourselves the beacon of democracy across the world and have attempted to impose it on other countries, when our form of democracy is structurally unsound.

“We plan to do a ceremony every single year. Why would you just do it once? In different locations with different amounts of people,” G Flip, who is non-binary, said on “The Viall Files” podcast.

who want to damage this Supreme Court and remake it into one that will disregard the law by rubber stamping their disordered and highly unpopular cultural preferences
