Any other mothers out there estranged over totally MADE UP medical nonsense?? My grandaughter was a premmie in the nicu for like 2 1/2 months this fall and my OWN ES wouldnt even let me visit becuase of "germs" which is the most rediculous excuse I ever heard. Meanwhile my DILs mother was allowed in to see the baby just fine no issues at all so dont tell me it's about safety. When I asked why this unfair crap was ok they both ganged up on me saying HER family is
"taking precautions" and masking OUTSIDE like we're living in fear forever. It's 2025 for crying out loud nobody normal is masking anymore. They keep acting like I'm sick when I'm not sick at all and never was, just more lies to control people. I said if my DIL is so fragile then SHE can leave while I see the baby with my son but somehow that made things "worse" which tells you everything right there Honestly I'm done being treated like a second class person just becuase I refuse to wear a mask outside like an idiot.I told my ES I dont care what happens to the baby and I dont even WANT to see her anyway he doesnt get to boss me around or tell me how to live. This has been ruined for me. Now they arent talking to me at all which just proves how ungrateful and disrespectful they are. real nice way to treat a mother after all these years. Everything was fine until DIL had the baby. I have to be anonymous bcause of feiends seeing this unfortunately

How ICE Crackdowns Are Disrupting Health Care This Medical News article discusses how the ongoing crackdown by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement is preventing some patients from obtaining health care.

The presence of ICE agents in and around medical settings is keeping some US immigrantsβ€”both documented and undocumentedβ€”away, disrupting care and putting their health at risk.

πŸ‘€ ICE deported two U.S. citizen children with their mother to Guatemala, even though she had apparently elected to leave them with their grandmother in Florida.

The govt is now arranging their return under court order: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Guess What Moderate Democratic Voters Aren’t Anymore? Moderate. Two new polls suggest that moderate Democrats, too, want higher taxes on the rich and some measure of economic populism. Moderate isn’t what it was in 1992.

There is no evidence that voters are clamoring for candidates who distance themselves from progressive policies. Nor are there signs that voters are despondent about the party’s prospects of winning a general election that they will accept a nominee with a Republican-lite platform. trib.al/kRVhBoa

No one wants to "turn kids trans." That's not a thing.

We just want to see trans kids turn into adults.

I think if I were to send the head of legal at Grammarly a note that said I broke into his house and took his wallet, but in future, he could opt out of me stealing his wallet, that would go great and they would be fine with that πŸ‘πŸ»

There's a certain sub-genre of leftist who doesn't actually care about anything besides the aesthetic of leftism, and it's important to identify them early and stop listening to them. Fortunately, they're not overly difficult to identify.

I have been saying for years that there is something weirdly cancel-proof about Tom Cruise. we have known jaw-droppingly horrible things about him for decades and it has not made a dent! people still line up around the block to watch his movies! maybe this will be different but πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ???

​​Native Students Receive Excessive Discipline in This New Mexico School District, Report Finds The Navajo Nation report echoes a 2022 investigation by New Mexico In Depth and ProPublica that found Indigenous students were punished more harshly than other students in the state's Gallup-McKinley school district.

"One of the largest school districts in New Mexico subjects Navajo students to pervasive discrimination and a climate of fear."

"It's our kids, our students, who are suffering the consequences of entrenched racism."

Yeah, I tend to go more for blue-toned greens but I'm usually assembling either an evergreen forest vibe or an ocean vibe, so...

They're all nice (except the left one, don't like it) but the Douglas Fir one is choice.

this is also my ongoing frustration. you can not run for office on "democracy is under threat" and then lose and go "oh well, nice game everyone"

they put us in a constant state of hypervigilance & terror begging for our last $5 to save the country and then they do the joint softball game.

Don’t Hurt Girls When You Dance (Or Any Other Time) - Unwinnable We may never know for sure, but I think there’s a reason that so many trans women have been able to identify with Kurt Cobain.

Shoutout to @unwinnable.com for fixing the name the MOMENT I asked

my favorite journalism piece that I wrote from 2009 - 2024 before going fully independent because of industry discrimination is below

It’s my favorite it’s so good

Of the darker swatches, I like the one on the left. It's got a kind of... Fir Tree... vibe that I dig.
