There is no scientific way to distinguish an abortion from a spontaneous miscarriage. The right doesn't understand science and either thinks there is, or thinks they can just tell by vibes. And even if they can't, well, better lock her up, she's probably guilty, and be better safe than sorry.
We told you, we fucking told you over and over that this was coming, that they don't care about babies or whatever. They only care about punishing women for having sex, and these women had sex, so they had it coming.
People are much too quick to uncritically celebrate "progress" given to us by corporations without looking under the hood to see what it's doing to our environment and the exploited workers in the Global South that make our stuff. What I want is for that to be a much bigger part of the conversation
You misspelled "racist backlash."

Rep Frost’s account of viewing the Epstein files is JAW DROPPING
Please keep calling your congressman people about this.
@hcrichardson.bsky.social is doing such important work here.

Yesterday, the NM DOJ began its investigation at Zorro Ranch. Why did the FBI tell NM to drop its case in 2019? Who asked them to do so and why?
That’s why this new investigation is so important. Survivors have waited too long for justice, and NM is leading the way.
I genuinely believe we’d be in a much different place today. If every single day of any Trump presidency there has been a new impeachment filed with all Democrats voting for at every opportunity. Even if there had never been a republican defection it would frame things far more accurately.
If an official commits an impeachable offense and nobody acts to impeach, it is no longer an impeachable offense.
People who oppose impeachment as “pointless” because it seems unlikely to result in removal do not understand this very simple point and seem unwilling to even try to understand it.
"...Because some jokes, some premises, some stereotypes, some plot points, some characters, just plain don’t really bother us because they’re not about us."
"Because we are looking for a justification that will let us keep enjoying the things we love without accepting that those same things can be deeply hurtful to others. Because we are lazy and it is a hassle to find a new favorite comedian, a new favorite director, a new favorite football team..."
This dude is an expert on nothing. His "career" is all over the place. He's a mediocre blogger trying to get famous is all he is.
I know a lot about Accenture. He was probably a middle manager for software engineers at best.
it's by Aaron M. Renn, who is an Accenture (government contracting software company) dropout turned "economic journalist." He doesn't know fuckall about ANYTHING he is talking about.

If you want reporters to dig into Platner's lies more, share this thread. Make it go viral so reporters can't ignore it.
"I liked this guy and I'm too embarrassed to revise my opinion of him when confronted with new information" is a staggering amount of political feeling in this populace
I absolutely fucking refuse to let internet bullies control this conversation anymore.
It is 2026 and we are not fucking doing this anymore. EIGHT WOMEN came forward and told stories of Franken GROPING AND FORCIBLY KISSING THEM. The man was a sexual abuser. He did not and does not belong in congress. Fucking period. End of conversation.
every time you say "AIPAC" you're really saying "elders of zion" and you need to acknowledge that about yourself
YESSSSSSSS
Um obviously facing accountability for sex crimes is way scarier than being a victim of a sex crime
"I'm sorry I can't stick around..." Oh Kristi you have no idea...
Just a brief stop at the backyard gravel pit first
i threw up in my mouth a little bit
She 100% has no idea.
NOEM TAKING QUESTIONS - DOES NOT APPEAR TO KNOW SHE WAS FIRED
