NEW:

In 2024, Tierra Walker was sick and getting sicker. She was also pregnant.

She knew abortion was illegal in Texas, but thought there was an exception for women like her, whose health was at risk. Doctors told her there was no emergency.

Then she died.

The breakthroughs in treating and preventing HIV over the past 40+ years is the a miracle. Not to discount the genius and labor of virologists, immunologists, and other experts. But sooooo many people died. So many people suffered. And now 2 shots a year provide 100% protection? Wow!

The Dems invite MTG to the party because she comes with money. The Dems are like the Red Cross. They show up to the scene of a crisis and set up their tent to collect money. They have no intention of actually helping people with it. It's to pay their executive employees and for property/real estate.
One thing Democratic leadership-level politicians refuse to understand is that if you invite a bunch of assholes into the tent, then a lot of people who were already in the tent will be like "this tent party sucks now" and leave it.
Raskin: We are a big tent. We must be a huge, vast tent. I say this is a party that’s got room for Marjorie Taylor Greene if she wants to come over.

This is exactly why sex workers rights activists have been screaming that the best way to prevent people from being exploited in the first place is to offer them safety and security and access to basic needs.

The fewer the resources one has, the more vulnerable one becomes

I went with 40 of my closest comrades to the Portland office of @senangusking.bsky.social to let him know he sold out Mainers' healthcare and starved kids just to fold and get nothing. They turned off the lights, locked the door, and didn't answer the phone.
