You know the economy is bad when scammers are trying to get emerging writers and authors. Baby, you got off at the wrong exit.

β€’ Veterans who were discharged from the uniformed services due to sexual orientation or gender identity/expression.
- They do not need to live in Washington.
- They do not need to enter school within a certain amount of time after separating from the military.
- They maintain resident student status as long as they stay continuously enrolled.
- Does not apply to veterans who have a dishonorable discharge from the uniformed services.

TIL that military service members who were discharged for their sexual orientation or gender identity qualify for in-state tuition rates in Washington regardless of their residency!

There's been a lot of debate within the Democratic establishment about what rhetoric to use via ICE.

Well, an incumbent doesn't lose by 48 percentage points very oftenβ€”and her vote on collaborating with ICE was the defining issue here.

Donate to We Lost Everything to a Fire. Help My Family Rebuild., organized by Chloe Clark On January 24th, our childhood home burned down. Our parents lost 50… Chloe Clark needs your support for We Lost Everything to a Fire. Help My Family Rebuild.

I'm still doing a GoFundMe to help my parents rebuild after a devastating house fire. The costs of doing so, with an uninsured house, are extremely high. My parents are elderly and low-income and my disabled brother lives with them. I deeply appreciate shares of this link!

It's almost as if getting results and not being a total coward is more important than political moderation.

A digital drawing of author Maia Kobabe, a white nonbinary person with short brown hair wearing a patterned blue shirt, who scowls while holding up a copy of eir book GENDER QUEER: A MEMOIR. Maia is saying: H.R. 7661 is a national book banning bill which seeks to remove any book that "involves gender dysphoria or transgenderism" from all public schools in the US. This would ban my books, and any other book with trans themes, from public schools. PLEASE call your House Reps and say: NO ON H.R. 7661!

Felony Murder Rule: I'm In Prison For A Crime I Didn't Do | HuffPost HuffPost Personal "When she came out with blood on her shirt, I froze. Fear rooted me in place."

The felony murder rule is an atrocity. 99% of people wrongly think it means that murder is a felony. It doesn't.

It's a way to convict people of crimes they didn't commit.

The president, who drones on about protecting women’s sports, publicly mocked the women’s gold-medal hockey team. A reminder this was never about protecting women’s sports and it was always about transphobia and misogyny.

Some say that republicans should be grateful that women are seeking equality instead of revenge. But if I’m being honest, I’m kinda leaning toward revenge at this point.
