Way back when the Proud Boys told their fan girls to get back in the kitchen they should have understood what they were supporting. They were never subtle about their desire to force women into proverbial and literal cages.

Like you can see it starting to creep in around the edges here that he's done something wrong. He's trying to brazen it out but the questions are pointed enough that he's scared.

im grabbing your hand to tell you. it’s not too late to start wearing a mask again. it’s better to wear a mask 1/4 of the time (or whatever your percent looks like) than not at all. there’s no shame in starting to be covid safe again even if you havent been for a long time. its okay

Grammarly Is Facing a Class Action Lawsuit Over Its AI β€˜Expert Review’ Feature The feature, which Grammarly shut down Wednesday, presented editing suggestions as if they came from established authors and academicsβ€”without their consent.

I'm suing Grammarly over its paid AI feature that presented editing suggestions as if they came from me - and many other writers and journalists - without consent.

State law requires consent before someone's name can be used for commercial purposes.

β€œSlow Pay, Low Pay or No Pay”: Trial Reveals How Insurers Try to Wield Power Over Doctors Blue Cross authorized mastectomies and breast reconstructions for women with cancer but refused to pay the full doctors’ bills. A jury called it fraud and awarded the practice $421 million.

The breast cancer center appealed thousands of Blue Cross reimbursements for being too low.

At trial, the insurer revealed that it had never considered any of the appeals β€” and that they were pointless:

β€œAn appeal is not available to review an underpayment.”

If you're scared of protesting or a general strike because you could lose your job, healthcare, and housing, or even go to jail, now you understand why the US has no universal healthcare or housing and no guaranteed parental leave, but DOES have the largest prison and police system on planet Earth.

Exactly. Stop giving grown adults who voted for him a child’s excuse. They let their own biases against others shape their choices. Thats for all the demographics that voted for him. Stop infantilizing all of them and call it what it is.

In the waiting room for an appointment and a man who is definitely the type to complain about kids on his lawn is watching Sopranos on his phone at top volume with no headphones. The staffer at the desk has a blonde helmet of hair that doesn't move and bright blue eyeshadow. So...I have moved away

Miscarriage Is Increasingly Dangerous for Women in Texas, Our Analysis Shows. Here’s How We Did It. Using seven years of hospital discharge data, we found that the number of blood transfusions during emergency room visits for first-trimester miscarriage shot up by 54% since Texas banned abortion.

Our analysis, which shows that more women nearly bled to death during miscarriage after Texas banned abortion, adds to a growing body of reporting revealing that maternal outcomes have gotten worse under bans.

It took A LOT to make this. Like A LOT. I struggled hard with making this because frankly it’s embarrassing. When you go from feeling safe, to losing your job and just two payments behind with no real support, it’s a struggle to get back to baseline.
