NEW: ProPublica has found multiple cases of women with underlying health conditions who died when they couldn’t access abortions.

Tierra Walker, a 37-year-old mother, was told by doctors there was no emergency before preeclampsia killed her.

Clay Higgins was the only member of the House to vote against releasing the Epstein files. He also pals around with a man guilty of incest.

A Mother Jones investigation has revealed troubling connections between the Louisiana congressman and fellow former cops accused of severe misconduct.

You guys realize that taxing people to pay for services isn't socialism, right? This is just how governments work.

The story isn't so much that a senile rapist is having his inhibitory impulse filters dissolve, but that the media *does not seem to have a problem with this*

Think about how journalists who don't lick boots, would respond to this at that moment.
When asked if there was anything "incriminating" in Epstein's emails, Trump pointed a finger in a female reporter's face and snapped. 'Quiet. Quiet, Piggy.'

So Harvard is keeping this guy, but Claudine Gay had to step down over ginned up plagiarism accusations and bad-faith accusations of anti-Semitism.

Got it.
Larry Summers tells @theharvardcrimson.bsky.social
he’s stepping back from all public commitments in light of his messages with Epstein, saying he is “deeply ashamed” and hopes “to rebuild trust and repair relationships.”

He will continue teaching.

It is genuinely incredible to me how much evidence there is to support investing in the public good and how much animus there is to do this simple, effective thing.

ICE abducted Leticia Jacobo and tried to deport her, she is Native American.

Polk County Sheriff’s Office, which held her for ICE, admitted that it was a ‘clerical error’.

Her family fought through layers of bureaucracy to stop her from being disappeared.

This is completely insane and abhorrent.

People will suffer. People will die.
Women who get an abortion and anyone who helps them could face up to 30 years in prison under the bill.

It appears to ban any contraception that prevents a fertilized egg from implanting. That would ban IUDs and could strictly limit in-vitro fertilization.
Women Who Have Abortions Would Face Decades in Prison Under South Carolina Plan
Women who get abortions could spend decades in prison and IUDs would be outlawed under proposed legislation in South Carolina.

Andrew Paul Johnson was arraigned in a Florida court in October on multiple charges, including molesting a child as young as 11 years old.

Johnson dangled the prospect that one of the children could receive money bc...he was entitled to $10 million as part of reparations for his January 6 arrest.

Also, if I was a rich liberal/“progressive” type who is upset about Trump, I’d be throwing as much money as I could at journalists and publications that actually cover labor in a way that matters. It’s obvious why normal people don’t like or trust the corporate media; give them something better

There are already so few existing publications that will run stories from a pro-labor and working class perspectives. Generations of excellent would-be labor reporters are being shut out of the profession due to lack of resources and opportunities. Unions should care!!!!

The AFL-CIO should start throwing some money towards labor journalism. If it was done right (i.e. with them accepting that journalists must have full editorial control over what’s published, whether or not union leaders like what they have to say) it could really have such a hugely positive impact

In my posts I often refer to my cousin Steve, a former camera operator who worked on a number of notable films including some by Abel Ferrara and Spike Lee. Turns out Steve gets a mention in Ferrara’s new book.
