Our friend is a coward - a coward! - for refusing to stand up

My old block in Queens was full of Albanian guys just chilling and “conducting business” and everything about this is perfect. Nothing about it is correct, but it’s perfect.

Because the other one got deleted. Grown men and women deserve to lose their jobs and be ostracized for being Hitler-loving, racist, slur-spewing machines.

Vance on public outrage over the "I love Hitler" group chat: "Grow up! Focus on the real issues. Don't focus on what kids say in group chats... The reality is that kids do stupid things, especially young boys — they tell edgy, offensive jokes. That's what kids do."

Kids do stupid things, and then they're supposed to get in trouble and face consequences so they don't do the stupid shit anymore.

NEW: We obtained recordings from a crisis pregnancy center conference where anti-abortion law firms like Alliance Defending Freedom admit that CPCs are free to make referrals for abortion pill "reversal" at the same time they claim they’re being censored.
An @autonomynews.co @motherjones.com collab:

Abortion Pill “Reversal” Is a Hoax. It's Also a Powerful Right-Wing Legal Strategy.

Speakers at a crisis pregnancy center conference made rare admissions about the challenges of providing so-called abortion “reversal,” and indicate its importance as a litigation tool.

The doctor who refused care needs to be named. Every doctor who would let a woman die from an ectopic pregnancy deserves to be shamed out of their profession.

Speaking as someone who had an ectopic pregnancy rupture, this is some epic bullshit. The Catholic doctor who refused to treat a patient with an ectopic is wrong: ectopic pregnancies are never viable and, left untreated, they kill people.

One thing that keeps me going every day is that I get to work with smart, thoughtful, hardworking writers who turn in stories and talk through edits even when we both feel exhausted by horrors everywhere. It's such a privilege.
