@Porchlandrea: 'Without the ability to offer abortion to their patients, all 28 women were managed expectantly. This is a medical way of saying that they waited for something terrible to happen. That ...

Online ads and supposed 'reach' were and are a bane to local publications. No money left in local budgets to market locally = no money for print and ink and writers.

Honestly at some point you have to start doing psyops with these people:

Have Obama announce that he will seek a third term tomorrow. Then watch all the con law “scholars” and Fix News MELT DOWN trying to explain why he can’t but Trump can. (It’s like Newsom taking over his social media persona)

Q: One theory on how you might try to serve a 3rd term is that you could run at the vice president

TRUMP: Yeah, I'd be allowed to do that. But I would rule that out because it's too cute.

I’m tired of watching hardworking folks beg for the basics while billionaires keep cashing in.
 Being able to put food on your table should never be a luxury.

You can’t call yourself pro-life while letting families go hungry.
 You can’t shout “America First” while putting Americans last.

ICE violently detain father & son walking to school—teenage boy had to be rushed to hospital.

"I was just going to school," kid cries out. "I'm underage!"

The 16-year-old star athlete is a U.S. citizen—agents sent him to the hospital with severe injuries to his back & neck.

Houston, Texas.

This video from Portland is a metaphor for what is going on in America. ICE trying so hard to get Americans to cross a line and if they don't, dragging them across the line and violently attacking.

It has now stopped in Cambodia — 40 hours — and Laos — 44 hours.

If it keeps following the route it did for ICE last month, there will be one more stop in Vietnam.

Think about everything you’ve done since about 4am on Friday. That’s how long these people have been shackled on a plane.

Good points. But a lot of meds, like birth control, are still affordable using GoodRX. The cost for a doctor's visit to renew a prescription could be out of budget. Stockpile what you can. Hopefully virtual visits will still be affordablish and accessible.

Well, Fam, just found out our health insurance is jumping from $1700 to over $3000 a month. And we still have to wait till Nov 1 to see more options—when the site will probably crash because everyone will be freaking out at the same time.

In the wake of Charlie Kirk's death, a TN sheriff had a 61-yr-old man arrested for posting a meme on Facebook, which the sheriff absurdly construed as a threat. It was pretty clearly bullshit but I dug into the case using FB & public records and now it looks even worse. My latest @theintercept.com:

The Absurd Prosecution of a Man Who Posted a Charlie Kirk Meme

Larry Bushart Jr. posted trolling memes on a Facebook thread about a vigil for Kirk. He’s been in a Tennessee jail ever since.

Apparently Blackhawk pajamas guy is the Cook County Prosecutor. There’s a good lesson here. He says he imagined ahead of time how he would respond.

This ICE removal operated by Omni Air International is now making its second stop, in Sri Lanka. So far, migrants onboard have spent 34 hours in handcuffs, leg irons and a waist chain. There may be more stops.

Omni and its parent company were purchased in April by private equity firm Stonepeak.

Stephen Miller on Fox threatens to arrest JB Pritzker for "seditious conspiracy" and says, "to all ICE officers: you have federal immunity in the conduct of your duties. And anybody who lays a hand on you or tries to stop or obstruct you is committing a felony."

The Trump Administration has been desperately shopping for faraway countries where they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia — all to deny him his constitutional rights here in America.

We cannot stand for it. He must be allowed to defend himself in court. My full statement:

Trump is treating the White House like it's Mar-a-Lago. Like it's his property to destroy and 'renovate.' He lied when he said the new $250 million ballroom wouldn't touch the historical property. It's disgusting that he's allowed to do whatever at any cost, on our dime and in our name. Enough.

Peter Diamandis tweets: "800,000 layoffs in 2025. 10,000 in September alone tied to AI. Jobs are disappearing fast. But here’s the truth no one wants to say: It’s the start of a new gold rush... for those who learn how to build with the machines, not fight them."

There will be universal high income."

Texas Governor Petty Greg Abbott ordered all rainbow crosswalks to be removed under the threat of withholding funding for transportation projects, even one in Houston that was a memorial to a hit-and-run victim at the location in Montrose, a historically gay community.
