Once again a COMPLETE mis-understanding of how\why you have insurance. Should you get yearly checkups? Yes Is it required to stay insured? No So WTF is wrong with only using it when you need it? Because that is HOW IT WORKS! Like, I don't have car insurance so I can total it yearly FFS.

1. Lead Left, a super PAC created on 4/24, purports to stand "against MAGA extremists." It has spent $3M+ in Democratic primaries. But it's funders and motivations have been secret. Until now. It's a GOP dirty tricks operation. 🧵

One action I recommend everyone do is to find a repulsive Jan6er from close to you and confronting any GOP politicians with whether they think those people should be rewarded for crime.

This is great—and necessary—accountability reporting from @radleybalko.bsky.social, who follows up on an obvious DHS/ICE screw-up to document the many false statements & shifted goal posts the agency trotted out after the fact to cover-up its incompetence. radleybalko.substack.com/p/you-cant-h...

Severe Pre-Eclampsia runs in my maternal line. Women over 30 in my family DIE in childbirth. At 36 I decided to get sterilized - which was WAY harder than it should have been. I didn't foresee Roe being overturned, but it just enforces I made THE RIGHT DECISION - even if I've hit menopause already.

What they ACTUAL FUCK is going on. First, you can't have an abortion. Now you can't even choose how you give birth. She's a DULA and knows the risk and was trying to avoid the type of infection she previously had! I'd sue every one of the doctors for pain and suffering.

It is *fascinating* to me how quickly some people have gone completely from “we all must work in the office! human collaboration is vital and only happens in person!” to “I can replace all these pesky people with chatbots!” Definitely some commentary there about our society and who gets to choose.

There's no way to put this delicately. And trigger warning here. She didn't "just" unalive herself. Women who commit suicide (in general) do so privately. Quietly. They don't want to burden others. She SET HERSELF ON FIRE. Her suicide was a statement. I guarantee you we only know a TINY part.

I'm going to do a thread of all the references and context behind Bad Bunny's performance and what it means for Puerto Ricans to see this on the biggest stage. The opening title screen is a street mural in Puerto Rico that comes to life with footballs as coconuts. Follow along!
A vibrant, wide-angle photo of a colorful outdoor mural promoting the "Super Bowl LX Apple Music Halftime Show." The mural is painted on a long blue wall in a sunlit, tropical setting with real palm trees and bright pink bougainvillea flowers cascading over the top.

The artwork features a playful, surreal collage of cultural and football-themed elements:

    Central Text: The Apple Music logo in bold yellow and red 3D lettering is flanked by "SUPER BOWL LX" above and "HALFTIME SHOW" below.

    Iconic Imagery: Large illustrations of a golden trumpet, pink sunglasses, maracas, dominoes, and a cup of coffee with a musical note in the foam.

    Football Elements: Brown footballs are depicted growing on palm trees like coconuts and resting on the ground.

    Foreground: A young girl in a yellow dress walks along the sidewalk in front of the mural, passing a small goalpost illustration where a green parrot is perched.

The overall aesthetic is warm, festive, and celebrates a fusion of Latin-inspired culture and American football.

Not having a researcher providing real time rebuttal in near real time is malpractice at this point. If you do not know the US history with forced sterilization of Native, Black, Autistic, Poor AND MORE you should educate yourself. It is wrong across the board. US cannot throw stones here.

Seems as if this works — if employers start firing people for standing up for their neighbors and fellow humans — than a remedy is publicizing the identity of those employers.
